Chapter 68: The Audition Begins
Sitting in the special audition room of the Imperial Film Academy, Lu Wenbin, who has gradually adapted to this new role in the past few days, also feels that his life experience is really unexpected. In his previous life, he also went into this kind of audition room, but he did something lowly and begging for others.
When he was an assistant in his previous life, Lu Wenbin often represented the actors, giving benefits to the directors and screenwriters who auditioned and said good things. The reason for this is also very simple, that is, I hope that these auditioners can give the actors who serve a chance.
But now, he has become a screenwriter sitting high, holding the fate of the actors who are about to audition. This kind of taste of turning over and being the master really makes Lu Wenbin feel that things in the world are really impermanent!
In addition to Lu Zhengshan and Lu Wenbin, Dixing Entertainment also sent a representative. The three will represent the crew, selecting the actors who best meet the requirements of the role from among the students who will participate in the audition.
In order to better audition, at the request of Lu Zhengshan, the intern director selected from the directing department also specially borrowed the camera from the college. The intention of this is also very simple, it is to appear more real during the audition.
While Lu Wenbin was sitting in the audition room waiting, many students participated in the audition outside the audition room. Seeing so many people competing for a role, many students seem to be a little lacking in confidence.
Some students looked left and right and said, "Why are there so many people participating in the interview this time?" I thought it would be only our senior students who auditioned this time! ”
'Stop dreaming! There are also many students participating in the audition in the sophomore year, who wouldn't want to participate in such a rare opportunity? For those younger students, even if the final audition fails, this is a rare audition experience! ’
As a rookie actor, if you want to get a role, you have to learn how to audition. Even if there is a relationship and a way, this level is also a compulsory path for many actors. The quality of the audition will also determine whether they can be recognized or not.
If they don't have to audition when they are invited by the crew, it can only mean that their acting skills have been recognized by the industry. Most of the actors who can participate without auditions are some well-known actors with powerful acting skills.
Just when the students were discussing, Lu Zhengshan, as a director, also said in a timely manner: "Wen Jie, are the cameras set up?" Did all the students who participated in the audition come? ”
The cameras are set up and ready to start auditioning, and the students have arrived. Lu Dao, can you start? ’
'Wen Bin, how's it going?' You ready? ’
asked Lu Wenbin beside him, which also highlighted Lu Wenbin's status in the crew. Compared with the entertainment industry in the previous life, unless they are really well-known screenwriters, most ordinary screenwriters have little say in the crew.
But in the current Yanhuang film and television industry, the screenwriter's power in the crew is not small. When encountering some well-known screenwriters, the director often has to consult the screenwriter for the opinions of the screenwriters on the shots. The screenwriter said yes, and the shot could pass.
Although such rights are limited to a few well-known screenwriters. can be Lu Wenbin's first drama, Lu Zhengshan still gives Lu Wenbin more right to speak. Even if the representative of Dixing Company came, Li Henglong also had an explanation.
As long as Lu Zhengshan and Lu Wenbin are the actors who are recognized, the representatives of Dixing will not say anything. In fact, using new actors to shoot this drama, Li Henglong was somewhat worried, but he could only believe in Lu Zhengshan's directing ability.
The students trained by the Academy of Cinema still have high requirements for acting skills. If the acting major class is not up to standard, there will be no audition opportunities like this. This is known to the students who have entered the acting department of the Imperial Film Academy.
Because of this, many students are very serious about acting classes during their time in school. They all know that if they don't meet the standards, it means that they want to work in this industry, and it will become extremely difficult.
Facing Lu Zhengshan's inquiry, Lu Wenbin pretended to be frightened and said: "Director Lu, I'm here to see the show today, I won't participate in the audition!" I'm just watching a play, is there anything to prepare? ”
'This kid is really relieved, he is not afraid that the actor I chose will smash your play at that time! ’
'Hehe, I'm a newcomer, it's okay if my first work is smashed. But this drama should be the first urban drama in which a senior has served as the chief director since his debut, right? If you don't shoot well, you can smash your golden signboard! ’
'Yo ho, listen to you boy, I'm on your thief ship, right?' ’
After the two teased each other, Lu Zhengshan also said in a timely manner: "The script was written by you, and about the next audition, I personally pay attention to the acting strength of these students." As for the image and temperament, you are responsible.
I've also told you about the previous audition list. If there are students who you think are good, you can also focus on them. In the future, if you have a new play, you can also choose the corresponding student assistant according to today's interview.
As long as this play is a big success, I am sure that these students will be more than happy to participate in your scripts in the future. If you can really pick out a few good seedlings, you can be regarded as their leader! ”
While there was still a little time, Lu Zhengshan also told Lu Wenbin about some rules in the circle in a timely manner. As a screenwriter, Lu Wenbin is undoubtedly a newcomer now. But Lu Wenbin's situation is different from that of many screenwriters.
The reason is that Lu Wenbin is not limited to a simple screenwriter, he also has other talents. Most importantly, Lu Wenbin has registered his own personal studio. This also means that Lu Wenbin also needs to expand his network.
Some well-known screenwriters will have some so-called 'queen' actors. If you can rely on the first drama to have a good relationship with these potential young actors of Emperor Film, it will also have a great effect on enhancing Lu Wenbin's fame.
'Thank you, senior! I will fulfill my responsibilities as a screenwriter for the crew! ’
'Okay, Wen Jie, let's start the audition!' Start calling from the boys, and try the role of the second male Fang Yu first! ’
'Yes, Lu Dao! ’
As Lu Zhengshan's assistant, Bao Wenjie has also participated in auditions many times. Opening the door and walking out of the audition room, the students who were waiting quickly got up one after another and looked at Bao Wenjie respectfully.
And Bao Wenjie also said in a timely manner: "I am director Lu Zhengshan's assistant, and now I am starting to audition." The first to audition is the students who signed up for the second male 'Fang Yu', and I hope all the students are ready. First of all, please admit Student No. 1! ”
A boy who got the audition number was also one of the few students who played a small role among the audition students. For the second male number one in this audition, he is undoubtedly under a lot of pressure.
But no matter what, you have to give it a try when you have the chance. Even if you might lose the election, at least you tried!
When the boy walked to the audition room, the students of the same grade who came with him to participate in the audition also said in a timely manner: "Zhang Chen, come on!" ”
Listening to the cheering and encouraging voices of his classmates, Zhang Chen also turned around and smiled, clenched his fists and walked into the audition room. After entering the room, the audition room was quickly closed again. As for whether he can pass the test, we will not know until he comes out.
Zhang Chen, who walked into the audition room, looked at the three people sitting in front of the performance stage, and said very respectfully: "Hello three teachers, I am Zhang Chen, a student of the senior acting department, and the role I want to audition for this time is the male No. 2 Fang Yu, and I ask the three teachers to give me more advice!" ”
For the information of each student participating in the audition, Emperor Ying has also prepared earlier. Looking at Zhang Chen's image, Lu Wenbin felt that the boy in front of him was quite handsome. has experience in acting, but it's all small roles.
After taking a few heavy glances, Lu Wenbin felt that the image and temperament of the student in front of him were a bit like the 'pond master' in his previous life. plays the second male number 'Fang Yu', and his image and temperament are not much of a problem.
In fact, there are not many criteria for judging such things as image and temperament. To put it simply, Lu Wenbin thinks it's okay, and if he thinks it's not okay, it's not okay. After all, if you can enter the Imperial Shadow Performance Department, how can your image and temperament be bad?
'Comrade Zhang Chen, hello! I am Lu Zhengshan, the director of this drama, the one on the left is the screenwriter Lu Wenbin, and the one on the right is the producer of the crew, Hong Yiwei. You should have already read the character outline for the audition, right? ’
'Director Lu is good, screenwriter Lu is good, and Supervisor Hong is good! I've seen it! ’
'Okay, this is a line and scene that Fang Yu said in the play, give you five minutes to prepare, and then perform. See the camera next to you? Think of the audition as a real shot, which will determine whether you will be selected or not, is there a problem? ’
'No, thank you Lu Dao! ’
In addition to recording a line for five minutes, there is also a corresponding non-physical performance, and even facing the camera. Such an audition requirement made Zhang Chen really feel a lot of pressure.
But for Lu Zhengshan, if the students who audition can't even bear this pressure. If you want to pick a big beam to play such a heavy role in the play, how can you play it well?
