Chapter 114: Acting Skills
Cheng Weiliang returned to the interview hall, and after communicating with Mei Xiaoqing for a while, he asked the staff to go to the roll call, "Next, Yuan Qiongdan!"
"It's me, it's me!" Yuan Qiongshan stood up excitedly and nervously. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 After high-fiveing the other sisters, Info took a deep breath and walked to the audition room.
Mei Xiaoqing said: "Yuan Qiongdan, Mai Cui is idle!"
The two of them stood at the table.
"Yes!"
"Here!"
"This school uniform looks really good when you wear it! Wei Liang, I didn't expect you to have the ability to design clothes. Xu Xiaoming looked at the two newcomers in front of him, wearing this beautiful school uniform, he really had the demeanor of a student from a famous school. This is the school uniform designed by Cheng Weiliang himself, Xu Xiaoming couldn't help but joke with him.
Cheng Weiliang hehe, laughing but not speaking.
Mei Xiaoqing also praised: "No wonder you refuse to use what we have in the warehouse or borrow it from other schools! The school uniform you designed is indeed not comparable to the existing school uniform in Xiangjiang Middle School." When I look at it, it seems to have a little bit of a Japanese smell. ”
Cheng Weiliang coughed lightly, "Win the prize!" Mei Xiaoqing guessed correctly, this school uniform is basically designed with reference to the style of the burgundy coat, bow tie, and plaid skirt on the lower body in the Japanese version of "Meteor Garden".
The two girls wore it well. The only thing that I didn't dare to compliment was Mai Cuixian's fluffy, thick perm on the top of her head. Perms are very fashionable in this era, but the perm hairstyle Cheng Weiliang does not dare to compliment. Many young girls like to perm their entire hair into shoulder-length fluffy curls, with a thick layer of curls on top of their heads. This hairstyle usually makes people look old. A girl who is obviously seventeen or eighteen can also be seen as a woman in her twenty-four or five.
Cheng Weiliang swore that he was the girl in the play. They must not be allowed to use this hairstyle on camera. For this reason, he also took the time to go to a large hairdresser a few days ago and talked to the hairstylist in it about the design of the new hairstyle. In order to film, you may have to cooperate with this hairdresser to do hairstyling for the crew and actors.
"Yuan Qiongdan, you weren't on the shortlist, but Director Cheng recommended you. You need to take advantage of the opportunity. Alright, let's get started. Mei Xiaoqing clapped her hands and signaled that she could start. She was also curious. Cheng Weiliang couldn't pick so many candidates, but he chose an inconspicuous graduate to audition, what characteristics did this Yuan Qiongshan have that Cheng Weiliang liked?
"Yuan Qiongdan, you first casually perform a scene where a rich girl satirizes the poor students in the class. "Assistant director Fu Songnian was the first to ask the question.
I closed my eyes and brewed my emotions for a while. Yuan Qiongshan opened her eyes and took a deep breath. Start the show.
Yuan Qiong crossed her hands in front of her chest, her eyes squinted at the wall on the side, and said sarcastically to her companion next to her, "Cui Xian, aren't we a noble school here?
Mai Cuixian also quickly glanced at the wall, and said in a coquettish voice: "Dandan, how can you say that dog, my mommy brought back a famous breed dog from England last month, but it has noble blood!"
Yuan Qiongshan suddenly realized. He said in an exaggerated tone: "Oh, it turns out that even our dogs here have noble blood. ”
"Okay! stop!" Cheng Weiliang called off their performance. The two are in the process of satire. In terms of tone, expression, and self-designed movements, the performance skills are basically in place. That Mai Cuixian is not bad, even if it is a little deliberate, it is not natural enough.
They looked over, and Cheng Weiliang said, "Next question." I'll give you a few lines and think about what kind of tone and action you should use to express yourself in the process of reading the lines. ”
The staff handed Yuan Qiong a piece of paper with a few lines written on it.
According to her own understanding, Yuan Qiongshan used different tones and expressions to interpret each line.
After watching her performance, Mei Xiaoqing and the others communicated with each other behind the table, thinking that her acting skills were not bad, and gave a relatively high score.
The basic skills are okay, Cheng Weiliang feels that her comedy performance ability should be tested. He stood up, walked up to Yuan Qiongdan, and said, "There's a lavish birthday party going on here, and there's a small indoor pool at your feet. You two sarcastically mock the heroine is a poor person who doesn't know how to wear evening dresses to a dinner party, and then you laugh and pour the wine on her head. As a result, the next moment, you were unexpectedly poured wine on your head by the host of the banquet, Sister Fujitang Jing. Please show your shocked and surprised eyes and expressions after being drenched in alcohol. ”
Cheng Weiliang held a bottle of water in his hand and pretended to pour water on the heads of the two people.
Mai Cuixian first screamed loudly, and then stared at Cheng Weiliang as he hurriedly slapped off the water droplets on his head and body.
Yuan Qiongshan seemed to let the water droplets stay, and his mouth was half open in shock, and he didn't make any other movements, but his eyes were sparkling and staring at Cheng Weiliang, and there seemed to be disbelief in his eyes.
"OK!" Cheng Weiliang clapped his hands and shouted to stop. "Then Fujido pushed you into the pool next to you when you were surprised. You are constantly thrashing and struggling in the water. Please act out this process and the movements and expressions of struggling in the water. In this process, you have to perform a kind of comedic actions and expressions that make people feel happy, funny, and make people scold you for deserving. ”
"Give you a minute to brew. ”
"Alright, the time is up. There is a pool of water at your feet, and I will push you down. Let's go!" Cheng Weiliang pointed to their feet, signaling that it was the pool, and after shouting to start, he gently pushed the two of them.
The two were pushed back, pretending to struggle with their hands fluttering for a while before finally falling into the water. The two of them kept splashing in the water, sinking and floating.
Mai Cuixian seemed to have taken a few sips of water, was choked, and coughed exaggeratedly there.
After Yuan Qiongshan slapped the water a few times, she sank, and immediately floated up again, panting with her mouth open. Sink and float and pant again. "Help, I can't swim!" she wailed with an exaggerated expression, and then sank again.
"You have a lot of ideas!" Cheng Weiliang clapped his hands with a smile and motioned for the two of them to stop. Then he gestured to Yuan Qiongshan and said, "Let's try again." You'll float up to the surface when you're gasping for air. The expression on your face needs to be more exaggerated, deliberate, like a comic book style, you know? When you shout for help. To howl a little more funny and make people laugh. ”
Yuan Qiongshan nodded.
"Okay! one more time, let's go!" Cheng Weiliang gestured again and pushed them.
After trying three times, Cheng Weiliang finally felt that Yuan Qiongshan had a little funny shadow when he later acted in the classic funny line of "Sister Pomegranate" in "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" "Don't pity me because I'm a delicate flower, please use my strength x me!".
"good!" Cheng Weiliang gave a thumbs up to Yuan Qiongdan's performance.
"Very exciting!" Mei Xiaoqing and Fu Songnian also applauded, they didn't expect Yuan Qiongdan, an inconspicuous graduate, before. There's really a bit of a funny comedic talent.
After Cheng Weiliang nodded slightly, Mei Xiaoqing smiled and said to Yuan Qiongdan: "It's okay, you can go back." Wait for notification. ”
The two bowed and thanked each other before opening the door. Who wants to open the door, and a few people suddenly fall in outside the door.
"What are you doing?" asked Yuan Qiongshan in surprise.
A few boys laughed embarrassedly, and Li Saifeng gently hammered her. Whispered complaint: "Dandan." It's all your fault! You screamed so miserably for help, and a few of us thought you were ...... "masochistic."
"Xiao Dan, Xiao Cui, how is it? You two have been in for so long, there must be a play, right?" asked an anxious girl.
"Xiao Dan is very likely, I'll ......" Mai Cuixian was a little frustrated, seeing that the heroine had nothing to do with her.
"Oh! great, congratulations!" several good sisters were busy congratulating Yuan Qiongdan.
It's too unpleasant to see the door over there. Xu Xiaoming sternly shouted: "Saifeng, what are you shouting at the door! Don't look at what kind of place this is!"
"Oooh. Master, I'm sorry! We'll get out right away. Li Saifeng saw that Xu Xiaoming was angry, and hurriedly pulled the corners of the sisters' clothes away.
Seeing that these young people retreated, Mei Xiaoqing turned her head to look at Cheng Weiliang again, and said, "Weiliang, I see that you are quite good at training actors just now, have you learned acting before?"
Cheng Weiliang smiled, "I've learned a little." ”
"No wonder, I don't think you're a complete newbie. Now, I have a little more faith in this play. ”
"It turns out that Sister Xiaoqing has never had confidence in me before, I'm going to die of sadness!" Cheng Weiliang pretended to be sad and squeezed his eyes at Mei Xiaoqing. Of course, he knows that many people doubt his directing ability, including Xu Xiaoming, who supports him the most, and they don't necessarily trust him completely. Xu Xiaoming is probably gambling, Cheng is good, if Cheng Weiliang is too bad during the filming process, he is likely to let Mei Xiaoqing take over the control of the crew.
Next, will be the top priority of the day, the audition of the heroine and the actor.
There are a total of eight candidates for the leading actress.
It's a pity that I tried the first seven in a row, either the image and personality are not enough to match, or the acting skills can't meet his requirements, or it's a little older or old-looking, and I can't play the effect of a cute girl in middle school.
Idol dramas, if you relax your acting skills to the level of the Taiwanese version of Big S and Yan Chengxu, you can choose people.
It's a pity that Cheng Weiliang was too impressed when he was in middle school, when he was in the stands for the "Meteor Garden"! The first half of the film was very fresh and joyful, but the second half of the plot was too procrastinated, and he was not too interested in chasing it. Later, when I studied directing, I re-analyzed the reasons. In addition to the plot basically copying the original comics, resulting in a procrastinating plot, the two male and female protagonists, Da S and Yan Chengxu, have too bad acting skills, and their ability to read lines is also weak, and they can't play touching love! These are the reasons why the second half is not interested in chasing down.
The importance of acting, after watching the later Japanese version of "Meteor Garden", Cheng Weiliang understands its importance even more. The Taiwanese version of Yan Chengxu is so handsome, he couldn't stand it at the time, the Japanese version of the male protagonist is so ugly, but he can chase it to the end episode by episode! The Japanese version also has a lot of shortcomings, but there is a good one, the love of the hero and heroine can be interpreted by the leading actors to move the audience and bless their love from the bottom of their hearts. Instead of being impatient with adult audiences watching emotional dramas like the Taiwan version!
Cheng Weiliang naturally asked for excellence in the first play he directed, and he didn't want to have the problems of the Taiwan version. Idol dramas actually need acting skills, especially the heroes and heroines. Just have good looks, if you don't have acting skills, you can only pit elementary school students!
