Chapter 67: Little Joe
Shuntianfu, Huaxia TV Building, 15th floor, TV drama production center.
In a large conference room that can accommodate three or four hundred people for a meeting, there are more than 100 people sitting loosely apart at this time, among them, there are men and women, but the biggest thing in common is that they are extremely good-looking.
Here is the audition scene for the crew of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
After a two-week special training at the Huaxia Advanced Institute of Art, the young people who had been selected from major art academies and entertainment companies across the country were called here again.
If there is no accident, many characters in the TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" will be selected today.
Among the people, some are from the same entertainment company, or even signed under the same agent, some are studying in the same art school, and even some, although there are several sessions, but the relationship between senior brother and sister and younger brother and sister can still be set - in fact, in the end, everyone is eating in the same circle, and almost any two people, climbing and winding, will find a familiar relationship.
But today, here, there is no one to set the relationship.
Previously, when I was training at the Huaxia Advanced Research Institute of Arts, everyone could still talk about the friendship of laughter and laughter, and even if someone found the right appetite, they took the opportunity to develop the relationship between men and women, but today, here, all those so-called warmth are wiped out in an instant - this place seems to have become a battlefield.
Because everyone understands the absolute influence of Huaxia TV in this country, and they all understand the influence of such a big drama as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" - for these young people gathered in the conference room at the moment, if their previous acting careers are still blank, then "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" will become their best starting point and best debut. And if it's something that has already started to take on some small roles. So. "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is also an important opportunity for them to brush their faces on the screen of Huaxia TV and even become popular with the help of a certain character!
Therefore, no one dares to take this interview lightly.
Therefore, although there are many people in this huge conference room today, the atmosphere seems to be frozen, as if it is as cold as the weather outside.
It is better to have an agent to accompany you, or even a company to lead the team, not only can you cheer up the actors before the audition. And the most important thing is that at least there is someone to talk to, and as soon as you speak, the tension will subside a lot.
And the students who have no base, no company, and no agent will be a little harder, so if there are classmates from the same school, it would be great, at least everyone can stay warm.
Wang Jinglu sat alone in the corner, and no one cared about her. She didn't have the heart to deal with others, so she just sat there and looked at her nose and her nose. Try to make your tension subside a little.
This is "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", this is the work of the great director Feng Yumin, and what she wants to compete for is still a few beauties in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms - they are all famous beauties who are well-known in Chinese civilization and are also very well-known in the minds of the common people with the spread of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
And the most important thing is that Wang Jinglu has only studied at the Huaxia Drama Academy for less than half a year, and to be honest, she feels that she has not even started yet! If she is asked to play the little maid now, she feels that she may be competent, at least it will definitely be better than the blunt performance in the summer vacation, but let her suddenly go into this kind of big play, play such an important person who has a name and surname in history, that kind of panic, that kind of panic, it is almost all at once piled up in her heart.
But she knew she couldn't back down.
Even, I have to work hard to get one of the characters down!
This is not just the character in her bones that she has never refused to admit defeat, and it has nothing to do with the theory that her sister said that women should be self-reliant, the most important thing is that especially in the last six months, she has been able to clearly feel the gap between herself and Li Qian.
This gap made her extremely panicked from the bottom of her heart.
She doesn't know much about what coffee positions in the industry are, at least she doesn't understand how the coffee positions in the music industry are divided, and when it comes to money, she doesn't think that Li Qian makes too much money, so she will put any pressure on herself, the key is ability.
To what extent has Li Qian's ability reached?
Well, if it was before her mother came to Shuntianfu, the most she knew was that Li Qian could write songs, and he could write a lot of songs that were particularly good, and he could become popular as soon as they were listed, and then, he seemed to be very good at helping people make albums, so he made a lot of money while selling songs and helping people make albums.
However, after her mother came to Shuntianfu that time, she suddenly completely understood and felt Li Qian's ability and energy in the music circle now.
Not only does he write songs well and make albums well, but he is even so powerful that he can easily turn over clouds and rain in the music world - my sister and their group look so popular and popular, but in front of Li Qian, they are still just the same status as primary school students!
If you want fire, look for Li Qian!
This sentence was told to her by her sister. And it is said that this is a very famous phrase in the music industry!
But what about herself?
Student, she doesn't know anything, she can only play a little maid in acting, and even playing a little maid who has no lines is extremely stiff - under the backdrop of Li Qian's radiant light, she feels that she is simply useless.
That's not going to work!
Although she is proud and proud of Li Qian's every progress and no achievements, she has never forgotten that when the relationship between the two people was facing an extremely serious crisis, she herself said that she wanted to make herself stronger and help Li Qian - although now she can actually retract back into Li Qian's arms and be a happy little woman, I believe that Li Qian will definitely always guard and protect herself, but if that's the case. Then she won't be called Wang Jinglu.
"How could I not be worthy of him!"
-- This is a sentence she wrote in her diary.
So. In the last six months. In addition to being as attentive as ever in class, Wang Jinglu is studying and practicing hard almost every day in private. Record, summarize, and then, when others are discussing, she always listens intently - in short, she wants to act well! She wants to be a successful actor!
The play "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", as well as the invitation from this play, although it was a little early, made her completely unprepared, and. She feels that her acting skills and skills are also seriously insufficient. But with such a good opportunity in front of her, of course she still has to fight.
Of course, in fact, she thinks too much, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is a men's drama after all, and for some famous female characters in the play, the first requirement of the chief director Feng Yumin is that the temperament should match.
Therefore, what Wang Jinglu doesn't know is that in fact, this interview, to a certain extent, does not rely on acting skills, but on appearance and temperament.
…………
Five people from the Huaxia Drama Academy were selected, and after special training, they all entered the current interview stage, three men and two women. But Wang Jinglu was the only one in the entire freshman year.
The three senior brothers who came with her and the senior sister Jiang Yuqing of the 95-level performance department, she didn't know each other very well. When we were training together at the Institute for Advanced Studies of Arts, we had a meal together, but when she found out that a senior brother of level 94 looked at her very wrongly, she subconsciously distanced herself from the relationship with them.
Of course, Senior Sister Jiang Yuqing is the same.
Therefore, there were five people from the Huaxia Drama Academy, but they were divided into four groups.
…………
At 9:45 a.m., there was a sudden commotion at the door of the conference room, and then someone in the conference room began to say: Chief Director Feng Yumin and Director Feng have come.
At 9:55 a.m., a staff member came over with a roster, first called names, and then began to call people.
The audition officially begins.
Wang Jinglu's heart suddenly lifted.
Don't look at the repeated cheering up she just now, it seems that her mood has calmed down a lot, but when it comes to the time when things are about to come, she can't control herself and becomes nervous again.
One after another, people were called away, and the long time could be ten minutes, and the short time was only two or three minutes.
Gradually, even the people who were not called by their names couldn't sit still in the conference room, and they all ran to the corridor at the door of the conference room, waiting to see a person go in, and then come out......
Wang Jinglu acted with everyone and found that everyone had gone out, so she also walked out of the conference room and crowded in the corridor with others, and then she watched a person being called in, and then walked out with different expressions.
It's not fast, but it's not slow either.
However, it is said that Feng Yumin and Director Feng rushed back from the south temporarily, just for today's audition, so it is conceivable that he still attaches great importance to these actors who are about to be selected and the roles they play - although it is almost impossible for these handsome men and beautiful women to play any roles that are too heavy in such a political and military drama as the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
It's eleven forty a.m.
Many of the young people who had rushed over early in the morning had already begun to be so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs, but because it was very irregular to call people inside, they might not know who would be called next, so no one dared to go away.
Wang Jinglu was also a little hungry.
She belongs to the kind of girl who looks quite thin, but is actually fat, and the amount of food is relatively large among girls, not to mention, she didn't even eat breakfast, so she only drank a cup of soy milk.
And right now, the point is that she's still nervous.
So, the more hungry she became, the more nervous she became, the more nervous she became.
As a last resort, she had to find other ways to distract herself.
For example, she observes how the laces on someone's shoes are tied, whether the tie is beautiful or ugly, and then scores the beauty of his tie in her heart, and then makes a horizontal evaluation to evaluate the champions, runners-up and third runners-up in her sight.
Suddenly, someone shouted, "Wang Jinglu!"
Wang Jinglu was still in a daze.
The man shouted again, "Is Wang Jinglu here?"
"Huh?" Wang Jinglu suddenly came back to her senses, brushed it, and was scared out of white sweat. She hurriedly raised her hand, "It's coming, it's coming!"
The man frowned and looked at her, and made a gesture with his hand, "Enter!"
…………
Today's audition was hosted by Wei Xingbang, the deputy director of the TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but, of course, he was not the one who counted. There were two producers sitting at the scene, another deputy chief director, and chief director Feng Yumin.
A girl pushed the door in.
It could be seen that she was a little nervous, and it seemed that she didn't know where to put her hands and feet.
Wei Xingbang asked: "Are you Wang Jinglu? Huaju level 96, right?"
Wang Jinglu nodded, seemed to calm down a little nervously, and said, "It's me, good teachers!"
Wei Xingbang then asked: "If you had to choose, do you think you are the most suitable to play the role in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms?"
This question is very common, almost everyone who comes to the audition will guess and prepare the answer in advance, Wang Jinglu is naturally no exception, so she replied at the time: "If I had to choose, I think the role of Xiao Qiao may be more suitable for me." ”
Wei Xingbang must have heard such an answer many times, so at this time, he asked very casually, "Why? Don't you want to play Diao Chan?"
Wang Jinglu hesitated for a moment, and felt that there should be no problem with the answer she had prepared, so she replied: "I think the actor who plays Diao Chan must not only be very beautiful, but also need a very unique temperament, which is both charming and atmospheric, I think...... I may not be able to handle it, and it doesn't quite match my own temperament. As for the role of Xiao Qiao, the acting path is relatively simple, and I feel that if it is given to me to play, I should be able to interpret it. ”
Answers like this, to be honest, Wei Xingbang, Feng Yumin and others have heard it many times, so they don't feel new at all. At this time, it seemed a bit formulaic, Wei Xingbang continued: "Then can you give a performance? Just according to the role you choose, Xiao Qiao, you give us a performance, and you will play the Xiao Qiao in your mind." ”
Here's the highlight!
I have to say that the first few very routine questions may be very likely to be specially designed by the casting, very ordinary questions, and it is also very likely that these young actors have prepared answers in advance, so when the two questions are answered, and the two questions are all prepared in advance, for this group of young actors who have not experienced too few scenes, unconsciously, the tension of "I am participating in an important audition" has faded a lot unconsciously.
At least for Wang Jinglu, by now, she felt that she was not too nervous.
So, hearing Wei Xingbang's request, she nodded and said, "Okay." ”
Then, her body did not move, her head leaned forward slightly, and at the same time her right hand was stretched down, and her two fingers were pinched lightly, making it look like she was carefully pinching something, and at the same time she walked briskly forward--anyone with a little acting experience could tell at a glance that she was playing the role of a girl who walked carefully with her skirt--and, then, after five or six steps, she turned back and beckoned with a clever smile, "Zhou Lang, come on, come! Look over there! Is that the peach blossom forest you are talking about?"
There is no doubt that she plays a young girl - the top of the sky is Xiao Qiao in the period of a young woman.
Well, the acting is very low, the action is slightly better, but the expression is stiff.
Especially the lines, it's so low!
However, the youthful feeling of the girl's nostalgia really came out all of a sudden.
Coupled with Wang Jinglu's already high-value face, and the temperament of Xiaojia Jasper...... Not to mention, at least on the whole, it has entered the category of barely being able to see.
And the key thing is that from ten o'clock to just now, Feng Yumin, Wei Xingbang and other examiners have watched at least six or seven big dramas of "crying Zhou Yu" in the past two hours.
At this moment, Feng Yumin's eyes lit up all of a sudden. (To be continued......)
