Renyi Capital Theater.

Tao Jun had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Li Zhifan's car driving to the parking lot, Tao Jun walked forward with more than a dozen art workers.

"Zhifan!"

"Teacher Tao, long time no see!"

Li Zhifan hurriedly went up to shake hands, "Is your health okay recently?"

"It's okay!"

Tao Jun said with a smile, "You call me, I don't know who to introduce to you, but I happen to have a job in Renyi, so I simply ask you to take a look, this is a high-value Wengao teacher in Renyi, which actress do you fancie, just mention it to her." ”

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Tao!"

Li Zhifan turned to the high-value Wen introduced by Tao Jun and stretched out his hand, "Teacher Gao, I'm sorry to disturb you, I hope I can gain something this time." ”

"You're welcome! Welcome Director Li to come, and I hope we can cooperate if we have the opportunity. ”

Gao Zhiwen is an elegant man in his forties, and the white hair on his sideburns highlights his old age.

"Then I might as well get straight to it!"

Li Zhifan was not polite, and said directly, "This time I filmed "Latent", I don't expect to break the current status quo of being dominated by small fresh meat in the field of TV dramas, but I must make a high-quality product, even if the results of the broadcast at that time were not ideal, I don't want netizens to point to the work and scold me a few years later." ”

"Director Li, you are young and courageous, this is a rare and valuable good thing, we are all art workers, of course, we must support it. Gao Zhiwen said, "Today's play has been rehearsed for a long time, and the actors are all experienced veterans on the stage, of course, if you are not selected today, you can come at any time in the future, as long as the Capital Theater is a Renyi play, it will always be open to you for free." ”

"I don't need to make an exception, but I still hope to get something out of today!"

Li Zhifan waved his hand, "Let's go! Teacher Gao, Teacher Tao, I can't wait!"

"Okay!

Gao Zhiwen and Tao Jun led Li Zhifan with a smile and walked towards the theater.

……

Backstage in the theater.

"Hey, have you heard? Li Zhifan is here!"

An actress ran in in a hurry and shouted excitedly to several other actresses who were still trying on clothes and makeup and carrying scripts.

"Who? Li Zhifan? Why did he get here?"

"I heard that they came to see us perform! Wow! I was so excited that a big star came to see us at the premiere!"

"What are we going to do? I'm so nervous!"

"It's okay, let's just play normally, don't panic when the time comes! Besides, he is not the only audience in the audience, there are more people to watch, or the ones I taught you before, just treat the people in the audience as scarecrows. ”

"Oh!

When everyone was cheering each other up, the actress who had reported the news just now jumped and said, "Come on, you're busy, I'll go to Sister Zhu and Sister Xuan's room and tell them the news." ”

"Come back, don't miss the show!"

"Got it!"

The next room.

This is a VIP room, the heroine of this drama Zhu Xinyue and the villain Liu Xuan are both veteran actors who have acted in many TV series and movies, in addition, the male number one and male number two of this play are also the same, although they are hanging in the human arts, most of the time they are performing outside with the group, but according to the contract, they still have to come back every year to arrange a drama.

This time, they rehearsed this drama, called "Miscellaneous Grain Wowo", which tells the story of young men and women in the base areas of northern Shaanxi during the Anti-Japanese War.

The whole drama was filmed for about half a year, and it took two months of intensive rehearsals before it was officially performed today.

For these actors, the drama stage is the position of their careers, and going out to make TV and movies is just to make extra money, and their profession is actors, not stars.

"Sister Zhu, Sister Xuan, do you know? Li Zhifan came to see our premiere today!"

The furious girl rushed through the door and shouted.

"Really?"

Zhu Xinyue was stunned for a moment, but then immediately said lightly, "Was it invited by Renyi?"

"I don't know!"

The girl shook her head, "But this is our chance, I heard that he is about to start filming a TV series, if we perform well, maybe we can be selected by him to participate!"

"Haha!" Liu Xuan put down the line book in his hand, walked over with a smile, and patted the girl's head, "How can it be so simple and lucky, filming a TV series to determine the actor is the job of the casting assistant director, the big director will not go into battle in person, and the audition for "Latent" is not over, this morning their official blog announced the male and female creators, the female number one is that Qi Feiling, that is a national-level actress!"

"I, I mean what if?" the girl was unwilling, "I think as long as you perform well, there will definitely be a reward, even if it is to play a small supporting role?"

"Little Sun!" Liu Xuan looked at her seriously, "Do you really want to act in a TV series?"

"I ......" The girl named Sun Zhu hesitated for a moment and did not speak.

Liu Xuan and Zhu Xinyue glanced at each other and couldn't help laughing, Liu Xuan said: "Look at her, how much like us when we were young? When you have really participated in the filming of TV dramas and entered the crew, you will find that that place is not suitable for honing your acting skills at all, only the drama stage is the best battlefield for an actor's growth." ”

"Oh! That's what the teacher often tells us!" Sun Zhu nodded, as if he didn't understand.

At this time, there was a knock on the door of the room, and the male number one probe of this play came in to take a look, then leaned against the door frame with a smile, and said: "Sister Xuan, Sister Zhu, have you heard? Li Zhifan and Director Li are here, and it was Teacher Tao Jun who invited him to come, you say, will he help Teacher Tao Jun to check the music matters? Hey, you said that if I really sing on stage later, if I sing well, will he take a fancy to me and dig me away?"

"You?" Liu Xuan looked at him and smiled, "You think too much!"

"Hey, it's boring!" Male No. 1 turned his head to look at Zhu Xinyue, "Sister Zhu, what do you say?"

"I also think you're thinking too much!" Zhu Xinyue lightly opened her lips and complained plainly, but it brought the greatest damage to the male number one.

"I ...... Forget it, you don't understand me!"

Ten minutes later, the actors all gathered and lined up backstage to get ready to play.

Field.

Li Zhifan and Tao Jun sat in the front row, blending in with all the audience and watching the play.

To be precise, this is not a standard drama, because it adds music singing, but it is not a musical, because the main scenes are still defined in the scope of the drama, and the songs sung are also the red songs and northern Shaanxi folk songs of the year.

"Here we go!"

The curtain on the stage opened, and Tao Jun reminded Li Zhifan.

"Hmm!"

Li Zhifan responded, and his attention was completely attracted by the scenery of the stage.

Now the dramas are all high-tech, LED dynamic screens, mobile stages, and all kinds of smoke simulation sand.

There are also a variety of 3D lighting, through the refraction of the floor to form a visual effect that looks like a real thing, plus the palace-level soundtrack in the stereo, which is no different from watching a movie.

At present, what is presented on the stage is the high slope of loess.

The male number one led several other actors to play the soldiers of the martial arts team, hiding behind props.

After a while, the scene on the stage changed greatly, the soldiers encountered the enemy, and the two sides fought inextricably, and the stage effect immediately changed from the depression in the peace just now to the outbreak of the battle scene.

Li Zhifan not only observes actresses, but also male actors are also a part that cannot be ignored.

Sure enough, he was born in a stage play, and his acting skills are really amazing, and the details of every expression are plays.

After the actress appeared, Li Zhifan's eyes were fixed on these girls.

Although they are not the heroines of "Latent", these female characters are still important, and the scene they rehearsed today is just enough for Li Zhifan to observe their sonorous side.

"How?"

Taking advantage of the moment of changing scenes, Tao Jun asked in a low voice, "Is there a suitable one?"

"Yes!" Li Zhifan said, "but wait until they finish the performance!"

"No, I mean, you have a fancy, just talk to Teacher Gao now, so that he can arrange it, and you don't know them, otherwise you won't be able to find them for a while!" Tao Jun ordered.

"Really?"

Li Zhifan was still thinking about whether to go backstage for a while.

But thinking that if he appeared backstage, even if these actors were well disciplined, his invitation would not go too smoothly, so he turned his head to Gao Zhiwen on the side and asked, "Teacher Gao, what is the name of the one who plays Xiaomei and the second female one?"

Gao Zhiwen whispered in his ear: "The second female is called Liu Xuan, and the one who plays Xiaomei is called ...... It seems to be called Sun Zhu, what, do you think they are suitable!"

"Hmm!" Li Zhifan nodded, "They meet the standards of my drama in terms of image, but whether they can act or not, they still have to have an audition, or let's try it here!

"Okay!"

Gao Zhiwen said, "You and Teacher Tao will go to my office in a while, and I will call them up." ”

Li Zhifan nodded in approval and continued to watch the play.

And Gao Zhiwen glanced at Li Zhifan, and took the initiative to ask, "Xiao Li, what do you think of the female one?"

"Female one?" Li Zhifan said bluntly, "It's okay, but she may not be suitable." ”

"Oh!" Gao Zhiwen smiled bitterly, "Alas, many of these actors have pushed the film appointment to rehearse this play, although our Renyi has paid them again, but in short, they have lost a lot, that is, these people love the stage, and now many actors who have gone out from Renyi can't come back, they are addicted to the entertainment industry to make money, and they can't extricate themselves from making some low-quality bad movies!"

"Everyone has their own ambitions!" Li Zhifan has a different opinion, "Some people think that acting is a profession, and some people think that acting is an art, and everyone has different requirements for this industry.

"Well, that's right, those who have artistic pursuits are all international celebrities, and the art they ponder may not be the same as the art I ponder. But it's true that most actors in this industry just treat him as a job. ”

Gao Zhiwen seemed to have an epiphany suddenly, looked at Li Zhifan, and said, "Xiao Li, thank you, I haven't figured it out, but this time I finally figured it out." ”

"Thank you for what I'm doing!" Li Zhifan was embarrassed, he just said something and put forward his opinion, he didn't expect Gao Zhiwen to have a change in mood, maybe he was obsessed with "acting is an art" for too long, right?

……

After the drama ended, Li Zhifan and the conditions went to Gao Xinwen's office first.

The two drank two cups of tea, and Gao Zhiwen came in with the two actresses.

Liu Xuan graduated from Chinese opera in 05, and has been in the drama circle, film and television industry for more than ten years, much older than Li Zhifan, so she has a kind of predecessor style, but her personal personality is still good, and she greeted with a smile: "Director Li, I am very happy to meet you for the first time! I like your "Wolf Warrior" so much! Really, my whole family has watched it, and your performance in the play is very shocking. ”

"Thank you, thank you!" Li Zhifan clasped his hands together and shook hands with her again, "Sister Xuan is an old-timer, I hope there will be more opportunities to guide me, an actor who is a halfway monk, in the future." ”

"Haha, let's make progress together!"

The two were laughing here, but Sun Zhu on the side was rubbing his fingers nervously, not at all as generous as ordinary artists.

Of course, not every artist is lively, cheerful, generous and decent, there are many artists who are very dull in private, and some even seem to be autistic, and only on the stage will he shine brightly.

"Lee, Director Lee......"

As soon as Sun Zhu spoke, Liu Xuan took the initiative to relieve her, "Director Li, this is Sun Zhu, our little sister of Renyi, and it has been almost four years since she graduated, but because she loves stage plays, she has never gone out to participate in film and television dramas." ”

"Huh?" Gao Zhiwen said strangely, "Xiao Sun, aren't you usually quite arrogant, why are you so restrained today?"

"Teacher Gao, in fact, I'm still hesitating!"

Sun Zhu pouted and said, "I don't know if I want to make a TV series, I really want to play Director Li's work for a long time, but ...... But I don't ......."

"Don't dare to take this step?" Gao Zhiwen looked at her and said kindly, "Child, sometimes life does have to go through some experiences, when an actor doesn't try to have more environments, only on the stage, he will be complacent." ”

"I ......"

Sun Zhu looked at Li Zhifan, "Director Li, do you still want to test me?"

"Of course!" Li Zhifan said, "Don't talk about you, even Sister Xuan has to audition? ”

"Oh!" Sun Zhu nodded, and stopped talking.

Gao Zhiwen looked at her like this, somewhat embarrassed, and hurriedly explained to Li Zhifan: "Xiao Li, I'm really sorry, this girl is really not like this usually, she may be because she is strange now! You must know that she is the craziest in our group, and she is usually the craziest, and people give her nickname Little Trumpet." Hahaha......"

Li Zhifan looked at this Sun Zhu, but it didn't look like a little trumpet?

Instead, it's like a little mute, maybe it's really because it's strange!

However, she is still very energetic on the stage, which is also what Li Zhifan likes, and hopes that her audition can give Li Zhifan a satisfactory answer and let him prove that he is not wrong.
