Chapter 807: Audition
In the crisp autumn season, the Shanghai Drama Academy is full of young men and women. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Art schools are slightly different from other colleges and universities, and the students dress more fashionably, speak and behave maverickly, and there is a smell of freedom and casualness.
In the evening, Hugo stood on the edge of the playground in sportswear, looking at his classmates who were exercising on the playground.
Just where he stands, he attracts the attention of many female classmates, even in the drama academy where handsome men and beautiful women gather, his appearance is just as outstanding.
Moreover, he became famous at a young age, and became the host of a children's program on Hucheng Educational Television at the age of fourteen.
Among the students of the Academy of Drama, Hu Ge belongs to the school.
He didn't have to wait long before Yuan Hong came over with a basketball, followed by several male classmates from the same grade, and they made an appointment to play basketball together after class.
There is a joke in the performance department, saying that there must be Yuan Hong within ten meters of Hu Ge.
This shows that the relationship between the two is very good, and the same is true on the basketball court, and they cooperate quite tacitly.
Hu Ge has a height advantage, his hair is slightly longer, and his hair will fly in the wind every time he jumps up and dunk, which attracts the female classmates outside the court to cheer and cheer.
After playing, he and Yuan Hong left the playground and returned to the dormitory.
"Are you going to audition tomorrow?" Yuan Hong asked, "I've heard that a lot of people in the third and fourth grades will go to auditions, why don't we both go and see it?" ”
"I don't think it's very likely, and besides, the teacher doesn't allow it." Hugo said reasonably.
According to the regulations of the Shanghai Drama Academy, first- and second-year students are generally not allowed to take on the play in private unless they have the permission of the teacher.
This is to allow students to study with peace of mind and lay a solid foundation without being influenced by the outside world.
"It doesn't matter if you try, you won't be hit by your last application, will you?" Yuan Hong teased.
The two are talking about the audition of the actors of "Snail House", the main actors of "Snail House" have almost been selected, and this time at the Drama School is mainly to select unimportant roles.
Since Lin Xiaoling has become a visiting professor at the School of Drama, she naturally wants to find actors here.
This is a kind of feedback to the School of Drama, the most basic way of dealing with the world.
The main actor must use someone he is familiar with, or an actor who has become famous, which is responsible for the movie, and the supporting role is not so important.
What's more, "Snail House" is a story that takes place in Shanghai, and she hopes that more actors from Shanghai, or actors from the southern faction, will participate, so that it will be full of life.
The application mentioned by Yuan Hong refers to Lin Xiaoling's selection of director's assistants.
Hu Ge submitted his application, but was not selected, and in the end, five students from the directing department and the photography department were qualified to enter the "Snail House" crew for internships.
This is normal, the director's assistant is first selected from the students of the directing department, and the students of the photography major can also be selected.
This is because the cinematographer is very important in the crew, they are like the eyes of the director, and the film tells the story through the perspective of the cinematographer.
Therefore, many famous photographers later changed careers to become directors, and they have the advantage of becoming directors.
In the film and television industry, cross-border is a common phenomenon, and it is more reliable for photographers and screenwriters to turn careers to become directors, they all have experience in storytelling, at least they can tell the story completely.
The probability of an actor succeeding as a crossover director is not high, and there are not many examples like Jiang Wen.
This is one of the reasons why Hu Ge's application was not selected by Lin Xiaoling.
"I'm just trying, how can I get hit." Hu Ge shook his head and said, "In that case, then let's go over the audition tomorrow to accumulate experience." ”
The audition for the crew of "Snail House" was held in a classroom at the School of Drama, and the person in charge of the audition was an assistant director.
Lin Xiaoling didn't come, this was the first audition, and she would only come forward when the final round of auditions came.
At this time, she was having a meeting with the actors in the hotel.
There are Zhang Jiayi, Haiqing, Xu Zheng and Sun Li, except for Zhang Jiayi, who is from northern Shaanxi, Xu Zheng and Sun Li are both from Hucheng, and Haiqing is from Jinling.
Hai Qing and Sun Li play a pair of sisters in the film, and the two have a good relationship in private.
Xu Zheng graduated from the Shanghai Drama Academy and has been active on the drama stage all the year round, and is quite famous in the drama industry.
He entered the TV circle in the past two years, took the route of costume comedy, was welcomed by the audience, and gradually became popular.
"Snail House" has an investment of 30 million, directed by Lin Xiaoling, and is a big production in China, and Feng Xiaogang's "Mobile Phone" is just such an investment scale, but he has Ge You and Zhang Guoli to help.
This drama has attracted the attention of many actors, and Lin Xiaoling's films either won awards or had a high box office.
Lin Xiaoling did not use all the actors of Haomeng Company, this time it was a joint venture between Haomeng and Hucheng Film Group, and it was necessary to take into account the needs of Shanghai and the market.
After so many years, she has long lost the youth she had just graduated, and understands that being a person is more important than doing things.
Xu Zheng is a representative of young actors in the south, with his own performance style, which has been recognized by the market.
Good Dream Company has done a survey on the market recognition of actors, which can also be called market value or box office appeal, it is one thing for the audience to like an actor, and it is another thing to be willing to pay for a ticket for this actor.
This is the difference between a TV series actor and a movie actor.
Ordinary people watch TV and like this actor who plays a TV series, but if this actor acts in a movie, how many viewers will enter the cinema for him?
The market value of an actor determines his salary and treatment.
Xu Zheng has acting skills, fame, and a lot of influence among the southern audience, which helps Haomeng Company to open up the southern film market, and there is a lot of room for the market value to rise.
In this respect, he is very good value for money and is a good choice.
Xu Zheng plays an ordinary technician in the film, who is down-to-earth and steady, emotionally single-minded, has a submissive personality, has no ambition in his career, and is an ordinary family man.
The cast of "Snail House" is not very strong, it is not an all-star route, and it mainly relies on a script close to life and the performances of the actors to attract the audience.
"Director Lin, I want to design some small details to show the character's heart, he is a person who is not very brave, in order to raise money to buy a house leaked trade secrets, there must be a process of psychological transformation here, I think he can express his inner anxiety by cooking." Xu Zheng proposed, "When cooking, you can't be in a hurry, you can't have anything, and the taste will be wrong if you are in a hurry." ”
"You can try it, and we will try to dig out the characteristics of the city of Shanghai." Lin Xiaoling agreed.
The purpose of the meeting is mainly to exchange views and reach a consensus, so that it will be smoother after the start of filming.
The assistant director in charge of the audition returned to the hotel and handed over the information of the actor he was optimistic about to Lin Xiaoling, Lin Xiaoling opened it and looked at it, and Hu Ge's information was inside.
