Chapter 3 Auditions
Hehe, I have to tell her the truth.
The character recommended by Liu Bin is a deep resentful woman who only knows how to cry all day long.
The play is adapted from a novel, the overall situation revolves around the history of the rise and fall of the Tian family, the laughter of the male and female protagonists is the main line running through the whole play, the eldest brother and the second brother in the play are two secondary lines, in addition to the appearance of large and small characters, the relationship is complex but not chaotic, and it is gathered into a big drama of the Republic of China.
Through the different choices of the three men, it richly depicts the completely different fates of the three brothers of the same mother, and shows the customs of the Republic of China and the love and hatred of the times.
The role of Ye Jingjia's audition is none other than Deyin, the second young grandmother of the Tian family.
The second young master is a cynical, fashion-conscious, new-school rich boy who lingers in the dance hall and theater, but he married a wife who does not understand fashion, does not understand society, and has been raised in the boudoir since childhood, and has never left a feudal woman with small feet.
The two have different personalities, different interests, and life and rest are worlds apart, originally incompatible, with the development of the times, the differences are becoming more and more serious, and more interpreters are intervening in it, and finally have to end in tragedy.
This character has its own shining points, but it has to be said that it is not flattering.
But this is also normal, large companies have already played a heavy role, and the characters are clever, and they do their best to get their hands on it, and only such "flawed" characters have the opportunity to leave small artists to pick up leaks.
As for how to treat it, it depends on the artist himself.
After all, the character is dead, and the actor is alive.
The two came to the media company for the audition early in the morning, and there were already many people in the waiting room, all nervous.
Director Tang's name is Tang Aiguo, who has a very high status in the TV circle, and in his early years, a work came out almost a year or two, which can be said to be highly prolific. At the same time, the works are all excellent, from the actors to the lines, from the sofa to the costumes, all of which are the most suitable foils.
This kind of high-yield style of striving for perfection has made him a benchmark of the times and the object sought after by major TV stations.
But as Director Tang grew older, his physical exhaustion gradually revealed, until he fainted during the continuous filming, which made people have to pay attention to his health condition.
For the sake of his body, he had to slow down and consciously reduce his workload, from one drama in one or two years to three or five years.
And this drama has been five years since the last one.
Being able to play with him has gradually become a difficult thing, but it is even more of an honor.
Director Tang is old, but he pays more and more attention to quality, and his development has reached the point of being harsh.
For example, this "Splendid" has been in preparation for several years, striving for perfection, and the selection of actors is extremely strict, from the beginning to the present, it has been carried out for several months.
Pick-and-choose, there are still a few roles undecided, which shows the degree of pickiness.
Especially Deyin, there is no candidate for the general.
In Tang Aiguo's heart, there is no size in the role.
Deyin, the second young grandmother of the Tian family, is a representative of an era, a victim of social change, a condensation of ancient feudal society, but not a harlequin.
What is needed is a woman who can show the characteristics of women in ancient times, not the resentful temperament exuded by the current actresses.
The approaching start time, there was not even a single one of the one-day auditions, which made Director Tang, who was originally bad-tempered and proportional to his status, look as black as carbon.
The staff cautiously stepped forward to ask, and asked stubbornly, "Director Tang, look, next?"
Tang Aiguo said lightly: "Well, next." ”
Hoping that Liu Bin's kid's recommendation would be reliable, Tang Aiguo, who had a trace of trust, raised his head.
I saw that the young girl who came in was beautiful and moving, her eyes were clear, her eyes were bright, and when she saw a row of judges, she pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes were docile, and she was very elegant and well-behaved.
Just looking at the appearance, it's good, and it's a little similar to the beautiful Deyin in the book, but the acting skills are ......
"Let's get started. ”
The scene that Ye Jingjia drew was described in the book, and Tian Er and his wife broke up unhappily on the way to the western restaurant. It's not easy to have actors who don't play the role.
She paused for a few seconds, then had a plan in mind.
When I raised my head again, I was no longer the beautiful girl I was just now.
She stood upright, standing like a green pine, dignified and ladylike, with a graceful posture, her legs stepped forward rhythmically, not in a hurry, not slow, calm and generous, and if you looked closely, she was actually walking in a straight line.
This made Tang Aiguo sit up straight and became a little interested.
Although her posture is calm, the expression on her face is unnatural, and her gaze sweeps around from time to time.
After three or four times, she slightly restrained her expression, her lips were flattened, as if she was mustering up courage, and finally raised her eyes and slowly whispered: "Master." The voice was gentle, the tone was respectful and there was a special warmth of a young woman.
Without waiting for her to continue, she looked lonely when she was scolded by Tian Ershao and not allowed to call the master, her pupils shrank, and her nose was incited, as if she was taken aback.
But he still changed his words and called his cousin: "Ziqi." Although the tone was still gentle, it was not as affectionate as it had just been.
How humiliating it is to be scolded by her husband in front of the audience. Especially for a lady. But her footsteps never stopped, her demeanor was generous, and she did not lose a little rule.
After a pause, he raised his beautiful eyes lightly and said euphemistically, "I heard that foreigners are rude and barbaric, and raw meat is often eaten in those restaurants. She kept looking to the right, and saw that Tian Ershao was not displeased before continuing cautiously: "I heard that my sister-in-law said that a new Sichuan restaurant was opened on Bohai Road, and the boiled fish was extremely delicious, not as good as our ......."
As if she had been vetoed, she was aggrieved in her heart, and explained pitifully, "However, my mother doesn't like it." "The old lady has always disliked her family going to foreigners' places, it is a feudal tradition, and every time the second young master talks about foreigners' things, he always has to be taught a lesson.
Sure enough, the second young master, who has always been fashionable, categorically refused, and even spoke ill of her, and even let her go home by herself!
The poor second wife's eyes widened suddenly, she stood still, watching Tian Ershao leave quickly, she couldn't hold back any longer, and lowered her eyes.
Like a flower beaten by frost, it is pitiful. Self-cultivation, can't do the things of a shrew, Rao is so still standing upright.
But the red eyes revealed the inner wounds.
She just walked in front of the judges' seat, and a feudal young woman from the Republic of China jumped on the paper.
Then, Ye Jingjia took a few steps back and said, "Directors, teachers, I am Ye Jingjia from Guangyin Entertainment. ”
Wait for questions.
Director Tang didn't wait for others to speak, his spirits perked up, and he took the lead in asking, "How do you understand the character of Deyin?"
"I think Deyin is a very traditional woman, she was born in a feudal and conservative family, received ancient education since she was a child, followed the three from the four virtues, although she is conservative, but she is loyal and pure, respectful of the old and merciful, and has a good heart. ”
Many judges frowned, but Director Tang smiled weirdly for some reason, "Okay, you can go out." ”
Ye Jingjia didn't say much, bowed and left.
