Chapter 117: Auditions Begin
Time flies, and a week has passed in a blink of an eye.
While recording the single, Wang Bao also contacted Zhang Yang about the formation of the crew, although most of the things were done by Zhang Yang and Song Jia, but Wang Bao also had to keep an eye on its progress and know what to do.
There is also Yan Xiaoni's play is finished, and they have signed a performance contract with Wang Bao Studio, that is, a drama contract, which has been completely determined, and she will play the role of Dongfang Hui, the female number one in "Star You".
And the crew of Zhao Beigang's "Struggle", according to the information provided by Zhang Zichen, is basically finished, and there are still some reshoot shots.
During this period, in addition to forming the crew, Zhang Yang also contacted Huang Miao, and Huang Miao had agreed to play the role of lawyer Zhang. When Zhang Yang was looking for Huang Miao, He Ling happened to be there, so Zhang Yang invited him to play a guest role as the host, but he didn't expect He Ling to happily agree to the role of the host in the cameo, which was an unexpected gain.
In fact, there are a lot of things to do to form a crew, but Zhang Yang is an old horse who knows the way, and it is quite smooth to sit up, Wang Bao is very fortunate to have found such a director.
In the filming of TV series, in addition to building a group audition, it is also a very important job to survey the location. But most of the dramas "Star You" are indoor dramas, which can basically be solved in the Beijing Film and Television City. There is only one exterior scene left, and you can also find suitable scenes around the capital, so this piece can be regarded as saving a lot of trouble.
This day is Saturday, December 26, the day of the audition for "Star You Drama".
Because Wang Bao's studio didn't have any decent place to audition, Wang Bao and the others discussed it, and then put the audition location at the audition location of Star Entertainment. And Star Entertainment is also relatively famous, everyone in the circle knows that it is there, which is convenient to find.
Today's audition assessment team is composed of Wang Bao, Zhang Yang, Zhao Beina and Zhang Zichen, which are basically representatives of various investors, plus a combination of directors. Most of the actors who participated in the audition today were invited by the director, a small number were invited by Wang Bao, and Xin Baoyuan also invited a few people. In fact, to put it bluntly, in addition to the male and female protagonists, there are also two female and male protagonists, and there are a limited number of roles with more roles, and the other roles are basically big dragon roles.
Director Zhang Yang got a male number two, and the second female was originally for Li Xiaolu, but after Wang Bao discussed with Zhang Yang, he felt that she was not very suitable, but the role of the female assistant was more suitable for her, but I was afraid that she would not want to play. So I haven't decided for the time being, just wait for today's audition.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the audition for the Star Entertainment audition team, the "Star You" crew audition officially began!
"Xiaobao, how do you feel today? As a screenwriter and actor, do you have any feelings?" Zhao Beina is more familiar with Wang Bao through this period of contact, and now that the audition has not started, she actually made a joke about Wang Bao.
"Sister Zhao, are you laughing at me? I'm a big girl in a sedan chair - the first time, as for my feelings, I just can't believe it. A few months ago, I was auditioned by you, and today I can sit here and interview others. It's really an amazing feeling!" Wang Bao smiled when he heard this, and then said his feelings with emotion.
"Then you can get a good feel for it today and see what it's like to interview others. Zhao Beina said with a smile.
Wang Bao smiled and nodded, then glanced at the others again, and said, "Then let's start now, shall we?"
Everyone else had no opinion, nodded yes, and Wang Bao said to the people at the door of the audition room: "Miss Liu, call someone in for the audition according to the list!"
This young lady surnamed Liu is an audition service staff arranged by Star Entertainment, the young lady is wearing a professional outfit, her face is also beautiful, and at least her smile is very sweet.
After listening to Wang Bao's instructions, she opened the door and went out, and began to call people in for auditions according to the list in her hand.
"Wu Tianyu started the audition, Wang Shuogen prepared!" After reading the name, the young lady came in with a young man.
This Wu Tianyu is the second male candidate recommended by Zhang Yang, a young actor who graduated from the Drama Academy, just 26 years old this year, but has already played supporting roles in more than a dozen TV series. He is very tall and handsome, and his acting skills are online, not the kind of fresh meat with small traffic, he is a real actor type.
The young man wore a slim suit today, with three-and-seven-point hair, looking handsome and extravagant, looking like a rich young man.
To be honest, Wang Bao took a first look at it and felt that this person was more in line with the script image of the second male lead. And Wang Bao can guarantee that the image of Wu Tianyu must have been advised by Zhang Yang. But it doesn't matter, as long as it conforms to the image of the script and the acting skills are fine, Wang Bao doesn't care.
My name is Wu Tianyu, I graduated from the Performance Department of the Academy of Drama, and I once worked in "Returning at Midnight...... and other TV series have appeared in characters. The role I came to audition for today is Xu Jinhui, the second male lead in our drama, for this role, I like it very much after reading the script, I understand ...... Balabala!" This guy was okay at first, which was a normal introduction, but as soon as he talked about the role, he began to talk non-stop, completely with a posture of deep analysis.
Zhang Yang began to listen on the side, and was very satisfied with Wu Tianyu's performance, with a slightly smug expression. But when Wu Tianyu began to talk at length about the role, he couldn't sit still.
Zhang Yang kept giving Wu Tianyu a look and asked him to stop being verbose, but the little brother was talking energetically, and he didn't notice Zhang Yang's eyes at all. As a last resort, Zhang Yang could only interrupt him loudly: "Ahem, Xiao Wu! It's okay! We all know about this role, and you understand it very well, so can you play a live role?"
Wu Tianyu, who was speaking energetically, was suddenly interrupted by Zhang Yang, as if he had choked on eating, and he made a "h" sound from his mouth. Coupled with his facial expressions, he looks properly cute, which is completely in line with the image of the second male who is stupid and cute.
When Wang Bao saw him like this, he ticked the back of Wu Tianyu's name on his audition actor card.
"Uhhh
"Then I'll play a scene when the second male discovers that his brother is the real murderer of his eldest brother, right?" Wu Tianyu closed his eyes after finishing speaking, and began to brew emotions.
Of course, Wang Bao knows this scene, and everyone here is someone who has read the script, so he also knows this scene.
This scene is the last through the help of the male protagonist Dong Mingjie, and the second male Xu Jinhui learned that his second brother was the murderer of his eldest brother back then. The relationship between the second male Xu Jinhui and the eldest brother Xu Jinli is very good, when he learned that his second brother was the murderer, he collapsed, the mood fluctuations of the whole character are very large, and the tension of the characters is also very strong. Therefore, this performance starts directly on the premise of no emotional foreshadowing, even if it is prepared in advance, it is also a very test of the actor's skills.
Therefore, Wang Bao did not interrupt or put forward other opinions about Wu Tianyu's proposal to perform this scene, but had an expectation in his heart.
After closing his eyes and brewing emotions for two minutes, Wu Tianyu opened his eyes, and Wang Bao saw several emotions in his eyes.
First of all, the anger, the anger of learning that the eldest brother was murdered! It was a kind of anger that gritted its teeth and wished that the other party would die immediately. But Wu Tianyu just showed the emotion in his eyes, but the expression on his face was just tense, so that he didn't look hideous because of anger. This is very skilled, it can be said that this one look conquered Wang Bao and made him recognize this Wu Tianyu's performance.
So Wang Bao secretly put a tick on his audition actor card again, and then continued to watch Wu Tianyu's performance.
Wu Tianyu was holding a pen in his hand, which he used to make props, because it was written in the script that he only knew the truth after listening to the recording in the voice recorder that his eldest brother bought him as a gift.
Immediately afterwards, the anger in Wu Tianyu's eyes was replaced by endless sadness, he was sad for the death of his eldest brother, sad for his second brother's greed and inhumanity, and at the same time sad for having such a real brother!
It is said that love is in tears in the depths, but in fact, tears flow in sorrow!
Tears instantly filled Wu Tianyu's eyes, and then broke through the barrier of the eye circles, and began to linger under the influence of the gravitational pull of the earth.
That kind of anger and endless sadness suddenly infected and moved the four assessors present. Wang Bao is a big man, and when he saw Wu Tianyu's performance, he felt that his eyes were hot, and he couldn't help but cry.
He secretly glanced at the others with his spare eyes, and found that the two women had red circles under their eyes, while Zhang Yang nodded inadequately, it seemed that he was extremely satisfied with the performance.
Wu Tianyu's hand holding the pen became tighter and tighter, and the green tendons flared up, showing how volatile the emotions in his heart were.
Without a single line, just relying on facial expressions, Wu Tianyu conquered the assessors.
"Okay, it's okay! Let's get here first!" Wang Bao saw that it was almost over, mainly because he was afraid that if he could not hold back his tears, he would be ashamed. So he opened his mouth and interrupted Wu Tianyu's performance.
Wu Tianyu heard Wang Bao's words, let go of the hand holding the pen, then took out a tissue, wiped his tears, and stood there honestly waiting for a few people to judge him.
Wang Bao looked left and right, did not speak, but looked at Zhang Yang.
Zhang Yang saw Wang Bao looking at him, and then at Zhang Zichen and Zhao Beina, he smiled proudly, and said: "How about you? This is the actor I invited to audition for the second male, do you have anything to say after watching his performance now?"
Wang Bao looked at his smug appearance, and didn't say anything, but he gave him a big roll of the eyes in his heart.
"It's very good, it deserves to be from the Drama Academy, this skill, I don't say it. I have no opinion!" Zhang Zichen saw that everyone was not speaking, so she took the lead in speaking.
Seeing that his girlfriend spoke, Wang Bao also immediately expressed his position, saying: "Yes, the image is also very suitable, but it is a shortcoming......
When Zhang Yang heard this, he asked nervously, "What shortcomings?"
Wu Tianyu was also nervous and curious, wanting to know what the shortcomings of Wang Bao were, he felt that he had performed very well!
After Wang Bao glanced left and right, he smiled evilly and said: "Don't you see? He is more handsome than me! But I am the male protagonist, and he is more handsome than me, and I am under a lot of pressure!"
"You kid!" Zhang Yang heard what Wang Bao said originally, he smiled and pointed at Wang Bao with his finger to say something to him.
The two ladies also shook their heads with a smile, and Zhang Zichen also pinched Wang Bao's thigh with his hand underneath.
Although they didn't care, Wu Tianyu at the bottom went to their hearts. He did encounter something before that he was brushed off because he was more handsome than the leading actor.
"What should I do?" Wu Tianyu thought to himself.
