Chapter 2: The First Audition
In the small garden of Su Qian's house, the two sat side by side on wooden chairs, and Gu Ze's voice sounded first: "Qianqian, have you really decided to act?
"Gu Ze, everyone has a spring water flowing endlessly in their hearts, not like a small spring in a small garden, it can only flow in the small pool that contains it. What she wants is to flow over the mountains, jump over the peaks, and go through a long time!" Su Qian pointed to the small fountain opposite the two of them, and said sincerely to the young man in front of her.
She wants Gu Ze to support her, one is because Gu Ze is her best friend, and the other is to let Gu Ze convince her parents with her that the power of two people is always greater than the strength of one person. But she is not exaggerating, she does have a spring of flowing water in her heart, or ambition.
……
It has been two days since the two talked, and this morning is the day when Su Qian will attend the audition.
Before, Su Qian told Gu Ze about her signing up for Xu Yao's audition, and also told her parents about her desire to act, and showed her love for acting, this idea has been hovering in her heart for a long time. Under Su Qian's insistence and Gu Ze's persuasion, the Su family's parents reluctantly did not object to her registration, but also showed that if she was not selected this time, she would no longer have the idea of entering the entertainment industry in the future.
If they are selected, they agree with Su Qian's entry into the entertainment industry, but they also put forward several requirements: 1. You can't delay your studies, you must be admitted to B University in the college entrance examination, 2. You can't fall in love in the entertainment industry, 3. You can't have a kiss scene before adulthood, and try not to have too many kiss scenes after adulthood, as for being more excessive than a kiss scene, it's even worse; these are the main three requirements, as for the bits and pieces, don't talk about the others.
These requirements did not have Gu Ze's secret guidance, after all, the Su family's parents didn't know much about the entertainment industry, and they only knew the chaos.
As for Su Qian's attitude, she thinks that her parents can agree to be the biggest concession, as for those requirements, the third point is a little difficult, but it is man-made.
When Xu Yao appears in the novel, she wears two kinds of clothes the most, one is a white dress, and the other is a white shirt and blue jeans.
Long-sleeved trousers are a bit deliberate for the summer in City B, so today's Su Qian is wearing a slightly retro off-white dress, with a pair of vans' small white shoes, and her shoulder-length hair is naturally and vertically, which looks simple and elegant. As for makeup, Su Qian only wore pale pink lipstick and a little foundation, after all, she would have to go through the lens during the audition.
City B is the largest cultural center in China, so most of the country's dramas are prepared here. The hotels in City B, such as Star Palace, Qixian Building, and Qiongtu, are all important places for the preparation of the crew, and they are also a home for all the crew members during the filming process, and there are dozens of people in a crew and hundreds of people, which requires a unified place to live!
And the preparation of the crew of "The Rest of My Life in Joy" was at the Qiongtu Hotel, and of course it also included the public audition for the role of Xu Yao.
Su Qian sat in an unobtrusive corner, quietly observing the candidates in the hall. Not surprisingly, most of the people who can go in to audition are young girls with better looks, most of them wear light makeup, and some of them are similar to assistants or agents.
Su Qian thought: It seems that most of the people who participated in the audition this time were film school students, and a small number of them joined the agency and did not have familiar faces on the TV.
This means that she has a better chance of being selected, after all, no matter how good she is, she is still a newcomer who has not participated in any roles, and she is definitely not as good as those artists who have been exposed. And her current disadvantage is estimated to be only one: she is a minor. But that's not an advantage!
While Su Qian was thinking, the staff shouted: No. 31, where is No. 31, I'm ready to audition.
Su Qian came back to her senses instantly, stood up and walked to the staff.
"When the 30th comes out, you can enter the door, just go in without knocking. The staff reminded as usual.
Within 5 minutes, a girl came out of it, looking obviously depressed. Su Qian didn't care about this, she just took a deep breath and walked inside calmly.
"Hello everyone, I'm No. 31 Su Qian, and the audition role is Xu Yao. Although there was only one role in this audition, Su Qian still added the last sentence and said with a smile.
"You are 17 years old this year, you are still in school, do you have time to film?
"This registration is with the consent of the parents, and in a few days the school will have a two-month summer vacation, and the academic performance is good, so it is easier to ask for leave. "As for the summer vacation, it's true, and it's true that the grades are good, but it's the third year of high school soon, and I didn't say anything about the summer vacation make-up classes, and I didn't say that she went to a national key high school, Su Qian said lightly.
"Well, it says you've passed the ninth grade of piano, so you should be able to play 'To Alice'! The tune is upbeat, and the atmosphere between the two of you should be ambiguous and sad!"
Su Qian knew that this was one of the classic episodes in "Joy", Chen Feng's only wish in the last days was to play a song "To Alice" with Xu Yao, the two admired each other, wanted to get close but were afraid of losing it soon.
The piano had already been prepared in the audition room, and Su Qian sat up straight, gently raised her hands with her arms and placed them on the keyboard. Place your feet squarely on the two pedals, bend your fingers slightly, and the cheerful song will sound.
Chen Li and assistant director Wang Ming looked at the camera and saw that in the shot: the girl's slender and slender fingers danced on the keys, her body was upright, and her white and slender neck looked elegant and noble.
Suddenly, the girl's face turned to one side, and the camera also had a side face that changed to a straight face, tears flashed in her eyes, the corners of her lips were pursed, and the cheerful atmosphere of the song was suppressed in an instant.
Chen Li and Wang Ming glanced at each other, and saw satisfaction in each other's eyes. I thought it would be good if the temperament image was in line, but I didn't expect to dig up the treasure.
However, Chen Li didn't decide immediately, just said, "It's okay, go back and wait for news!"
Su Qian knows that no matter how satisfied the role audition director is, she will not decide on the spot, she is not in a hurry, she has confidence in herself. She just bowed in gratitude and walked out of the audition room.
"Hello, I'm Yu Nan, the agent of Pan Yu Studio, since I came here to audition, I definitely want to enter the entertainment industry, you shouldn't have signed a company yet, right? Yu Nan didn't notice Su Qian at first, it was only when she stood up that she noticed her appearance, how could he let go of this kind of girl who was considered a top girl in the circle. However, seeing that she should still be young, she was not sure if she really wanted to stay in the entertainment industry, so she handed the business card to Su Qian first, and she was not in a hurry to talk, looking gentlemanly and polite.
"Thanks, I'll contact you if I have an idea. Su Qian didn't refuse, after all, it's one thing to accept a business card, and it's another thing to agree. In the future, when you enter this circle, you must do a good job of superficial work.
As for the agent, it must be there, but it's still too late, and I believe that it will be more valuable to wait for this drama to finish.
……
Near noon, the audition for Xu Yao had come to an end, and the lobby of the Qiongtu Hotel had returned to its original state, only the sound of discussion came from the audition room.
Since the role of Xu Yao is not the protagonist and does not appear much, only the chief director Chen Li, assistant director Wang Ming, assistant director Li Wen, producer Chen Dong and screenwriter Shenyi participated in the audition selection in the audition room.
"This is the candidate who everyone thinks the performance is okay in the morning, there are four of them, the footage of these four people has been intercepted, tell me your opinion!" Director Chen Li distributed the information of the four people, and the photos of the performance of the four people in the morning were also passed down with the materials.
Assistant director Wang Ming first said, "I think Su Qian is the most suitable, first of all, her age is the most suitable, 17 years old, most of the scenes where Xu Yao appears in the play are in high school, and secondly, her temperament is also the most consistent, gentle and elegant." ”
Wang Ming drank saliva, glanced at Chen Li and said, "Finally, she has a strong sense of the camera, although she has no acting experience and is not a student, but her performance is much better than that of others, and the sense of substitution is very strong, speaking of which, if I hadn't read her information, I would have thought she had been filming since she was a child!"
The remaining few people knew that Wang Ming was Chen Li's weather vane, and since Wang Ming liked Su Qian, that was what Chen Li meant.
Next, Shenyi also said, "These girls do have a good temperament and image, I don't know the professionalism of the actors, but I think Su Qian's performance touched me more." ”
Director Assistant Li Wen has no say in the crowd, so the last person remains.
Chen Dong picked up the photo and thought about it, and said, "This girl is 17 years old, and it is a little troublesome to be underage. ”
Wang Ming replied, "That's no problem, it's not summer vacation recently! That girl has two months of vacation." The high school scenes in the play had to be filmed while the students were on summer vacation, so they had to be filmed first. And most of the time Xu Yao appeared was at school. ”
"Okay, then I'm okay with that. "Chen Dong will not offend a long-famous director for this kind of supporting role, and this girl is not bad. He just needs to do his own budget, and as for what some people asked him to fight for, he said it, didn't he?
"Okay, then our final role will be decided, and then Li Wen, you will inform Su Qian, take the lawyer and sign a contract with her parents, remember to be fast. We need to hurry up and not waste this on this. As mentioned above, it must be completed by December at the latest, and we have to fight with the crew over there. Chen Li said to Li Wen first.
"Haha, when have we been afraid, I'm afraid that they won't dare to broadcast with us at that time. Everyone present was not nervous when they heard this, and they were obviously very confident in this drama.
