Chapter 18 The strength is good

"Okay, today's audition officially begins, and now I invite Wang Yongqing to come out and introduce himself briefly, and the time cannot exceed 3 minutes. The staff saw that the three bigwigs sat down, took out the list, and called Wang Yongqing out first.

"Hello everyone, my name is Wang Yongqing, graduated from the Performance Department of Kyoto Film Academy, and I have starred in the TV series "We Are All Kyoto People", "Abduction Hutong", "Peking Opera Family", and the movie "Jinghua Fengyun". This time, I auditioned for the role of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in his youth. ”

Wang Yongqing is worthy of being born in a film family, although he is full of arrogance in front of Peng Yichen, but standing in front of Chen Guozhong and Han Dejiang, who are big names in the industry, he is neither humble nor arrogant, and his tone, demeanor, and demeanor are all top-notch among young Chinese actors.

A short self-introduction shows the solid line skills practiced on the drama stage. His acting experience is rare and rich among young actors. If it weren't for Wang Jinan's behavior of greeting in advance, Chen Guozhong would be a little embarrassed, just looking at the performance of the young man in front of him, he would still appreciate it very much.

"Looks like you've got a lot of acting experience. Then I'll pick you a slightly more difficult scene and see how your skills are?"

Chen Guozhong took the script prepared on one side, flipped through two pages casually, as if he saw something interesting, straightened the cap on the top of his head with his hand, took a pen to sketch out a large part of the plot, and then asked the staff on the side to hand the script to Wang Yongqing.

"You have ten minutes to prepare. Although he knew that the auditioning actors for these main roles had a deep relationship with Kyoto Film Studio and Huimin Film and Television Company, and had already gotten the script in advance, Chen Guozhong still left Wang Yongqing time to prepare.

Even if he has been scheduled to play the role, if the audition performance is too poor, it will be difficult to convince the other actors present.

Wang Yongqing took the script and read it, and almost scolded a dirty word, but fortunately, he was very strict with his tutor and didn't really say it.

The scene that Chen Guozhong hooked him does not seem to be long, but the requirements for the actors' acting skills are extremely high.

There is such a passage in the drama of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, which is that after Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne, the Empress Dowager Dou asked him to marry Chen Ajiao, the daughter of Princess Liu of Guantao, and Gillian asked Liu Che to come to the door to greet him in person, otherwise he would not marry, Liu Che was afraid of the power of the Empress Dowager Dou, so he could only personally welcome Gillian to get married.

What Chen Guozhong asked Wang Yongqing to perform was the scene where Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty personally greeted Gillian and watched Gillian come from a distance with pride and happiness on her face.

In this scene, Liu Che didn't say a word, with a hint of humiliation and impatience in his expression, watching this woman he didn't like at all become his wife and queen step by step.

Especially when the two faced each other in the end, the excitement on Gillian's face contrasted sharply with the indifference on Liu Che's face. The humiliation of Liu Che as an emperor but can only be manipulated by a woman is vividly embodied.

When the actor is performing, there is no way to use lines and actions to express the characters, and the audience can only see Liu Che's inner emotions through the changes in the expressions on his faces. This requires a high level of acting skills from an actor, and it is easy to act in a decent manner, but it is very difficult to present regular performances.

This is an audition, not on set, and the director and producer can't give you countless opportunities to try it over and over again. If you want to outperform the other seventeen auditions, you have to surprise the director and producer, and if it's just a decent performance, you will definitely be eliminated.

Wang Yongqing didn't know about Wang Jinan's greeting to the Kyoto Film Studio, so he was afraid of hurting his self-esteem. Therefore, he didn't know that he could get this role even if he played it properly, and when he saw the scene that Chen Guozhong hooked up, the pressure in his heart was extremely great.

Wang Yongqing got the script of "The Emperor of the Han Dynasty" two days earlier than Peng Yichen and Huang Bo, and he had already memorized the scenes of the young Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the script.

After getting the script that Chen Guozhong had hooked, he just glanced at the scene he needed to perform, and he didn't care about the script anymore, closed his eyes, and devoted himself to Liu Che's inner world in this scene.

Ten minutes passed quickly, and under the reminder of the staff, Wang Yongqing slowly opened his acting skills, he walked to the center of the conference room, and bowed first. And only then began to perform on their own.

At the first moment of the performance, Wang Yongqing's body was tense and straight, and his upright and resolute temperament unconsciously began to infect all the people around him.

His head was slightly raised, and his eyes looked at a certain place in the distance, as if the entire country was under his feet, and the spirit of a young man was very well developed.

When the momentum of the young son of heaven reached its peak, the expression on Wang Yongqing's face suddenly became a little embarrassed and angry, and it seemed that there was really a Gillian who made him feel humiliated, just like a lion being ridden on his back, and the goshawk and the hen were trapped in the same cage, and the unwillingness, helplessness, and indifference kept changing on his face.

Looking at Gillian was like seeing the Empress Dowager Dou who was manipulating his fate, and the happy smile on her face had turned into ridicule and banter in his eyes.

When Gillian walked in front of him, the anger on his face was all subdued, replaced by indifference and numbness. As a monarch, he knew that he could not be impulsive, let alone rash, so he hid all his anger in the depths of his heart, waiting for the day when he could all explode.

The short 3-minute performance fully showed Wang Yongqing's acting skills.

As an actor from a professional class, he has a very solid foundation in voice, stage, shape, appearance, etc., and his high-spirited temperament is very in line with the image of the young emperor, and his facial expressions are also accurate and in place, and the inner emotional changes of the characters are accurately conveyed in his eyes.

In terms of acting skills alone, among young Chinese actors, his acting skills can already be on a par with well-known acting schools like Xu Xinhui.

After Wang Yongqing graduated, he has made many TV series and movies, but he has never played an important role, and can only play some small supporting roles with heavier roles.

It's because he offended a lot of people because of his arrogant character, and he didn't want to use his family's background, of course, no one was willing to carry such a thorn.

But in this audition, Wang Yongqing really played very well, although his performance is still a little green, the level of character performance is not rich enough, and the labeled drama stage performance method makes his performance not real and natural enough.

The flaws are not hidden, Chen Guozhong and Han Dejiang are still very satisfied with his acting skills, which also makes Chen Guozhong breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.

If Wang Yongqing's acting skills are really a mess, even if he knows that he will offend Wang Jinan and Kyoto Film Studio, he will never agree to let Wang Yongqing play the role of the young Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
