Chapter 002: Audition
"Daddy! Mother! Sister ......"
"Run! Run! Escape from death! Only by surviving can we clear up the grievances of our Zhang family! ”
……
"Wanted: There is a fugitive criminal in the Zhang family's rebellion case, Zhang's widow, Zhang Tiannian...... Seven years of Guangwu! This year is the third year of Longcheng, and it has been almost ten years, why hasn't this universal sea fishing document been revoked? ”
"Go, go, go! You are a beggar, and you dare to come to this city gate to listen to Zhao Xiucai's knowledge, you really have eaten too much Guanyin! ”
……
"It's him, I heard him talk in his dreams again, and mentioned the Zhang family's rebellion case!"
"Grab it!"
"Official, how can this reward be half-run? Didn't the notice say that there were three official money......"
"You stinky begging for food, and you are not satisfied with this half-run money? Beware of me telling you a lie so you don't see the sun the next day! ”
……
"Hey, this criminal department is really clear soup and little water!"
"Fortunately, this batch of old cases has been solved...... Hey? Wasn't this Zhang's rebellion case canceled two years ago by the amnesty of the world? What a fool of the people on the place! ”
"That's it! He should be dead! ”
"Batch: Sent to the northwest, exiled for eight hundred miles, whether you live or die, and it depends on your creation!"
……
"The barbarians are going south and violating the border!"
"Run!"
……
"Bang bang bang!"
Suddenly, a violent knock on the door sounded, ending the long nightmare night, Tang Nian gasped and sat up straight, the palpitation on his face gradually faded. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The dream was so real, like a human being who really lived through that kind of life.
At the age of five, he was reborn in an ancient official family, similar to the background of the Ming Dynasty, and at the age of seven, the Zhang family was implicated in the rebellion and became a key criminal, but Tang Nian, that is, Zhang Tiannian, lived alone and escaped.
After ten years of fugitive life, Zhang Tiannian, who was incarnated by Tang Nian, wandered everywhere and begged, and finally heard the sea fishing document announcing the world at a city gate.
Stimulated by this, Zhang Tian dreamed from time to time on Chinese New Year's Eve, and finally three years later, at the age of eighteen, in a dilapidated beggar's gathering place, the land temple in the south of the city was denounced by fellow beggars who were also about to commit crimes.
Then, Zhang Tiannian, who had been detained for half a year, was sent to the northwest border and became a lifelong slave.
Two years have passed, and in the Northern Barbarian Kouguan, a spear stabbed straight at Zhang Tiannian, who had already been numb......
Then, there was a violent knock at the door, which woke Tang Nian from a long nightmare.
"I said Don Jr., I ...... last night"
Tang Nian opened the door and saw the angry face of Lao Liu, the leader of the group, but Lao Liu's words quickly stopped.
"Nightmares again?"
At this time, it was a hot summer, and Hengdu Film and Television City was even more sultry, and the old fans of the 'Big Star Hotel' not only made noise, but also brought up hot air, and the face of the sweaty Tang Nian was even pale.
"Hey! It's hard to put into words, since I've been ...... Ever since I love acting, and since I stayed in the film and television city for half a month, I haven't had a single slap at night without nightmares! ”
"Let's go!"
Lao Liu didn't wait for Tang Nian to finish speaking, with a wave of his hand, he took the lead in front and left.
"I made an appointment with Director Cheng at nine o'clock in the morning...... Well, this is Lao Chen, Lao Zhao and Lao Fang, who have a lot of acting experience here, all of whom have more than three years of group performance experience! ”
"This is Xiao Tang, a young man with a dream of stardom, the three of you are the main ones today, Xiao Tang is just for me to take to see the world!"
Out of the door of the hotel, Lao Liu Tou introduced the two sides to each other without looking back, and walked to a van.
Tang Nian saw that the three senior group performers did not turn around and greet him, so he naturally responded silently and silently noted the difference between the three.
The newcomer is pierced, since he plans to mix in this circle, distinguish people, don't call the wrong person, this is the first step.
He's come across a lot of bad things that have been secretly caught up because he confused people.
"Let's go!"
Lao Liu didn't mean to introduce each other more, and when the three of them sat down in the van, they took the steering wheel and drove to their destination, Qin Han City in the eastern district of Hengdu.
As a group leader who has been in Hengdu Film and Television City for nearly 20 years, Lao Liu has seen a lot of young people who want to be stars.
It is also because Tang Nian is calm and not boring that Lao Liu is willing to say a few more words to him.
Otherwise, he would never say a word to Tang Nian, because most of those grassroots young people with star dreams have become miscellaneous workers and migrant workers in Hengdu Film and Television City.
Of course, yesterday Tang Nian begged to take him to see the world, and finally he nodded and agreed, and it was not unrelated to the three old man's heads sent by Tang Nian.
followed and opened his eyes, Lao Liu naturally agreed.
The car drove steadily, and Tang Nian silently observed the three older senior group performers, and his heart was silently a little sad.
If you can't be famous for a year and a half, is it possible that you will become such a muddy group performance with so-called 'rich acting experience'?
This is not what he wants!
Because from the eyes of these three, Tang Nian could no longer see that kind of desire, more numbness, like the slavery of those walking dead......
"Tick!"
Just when Tang Nian was thinking wildly, the van had already stopped at its destination.
This is a Qin and Han city with a sense of the times, an authentic ancient city, except for those light and dark power cords and light bulbs, you can't see a trace of modernity.
This place has not been visited by Tang Nian.
Because of this place, the distance from the second phase of the expansion of Hengdu Film and Television City spans the entire film and television city, and he has no time to come.
"I received a call from Director Cheng in the morning, today is Director Zhang personally trying out the play, Lao Chen, Lao Zhao, Lao Fang, you have to cheer up, as long as it's over, I don't want your commission this time!"
"Xiao Tang, don't keep silent later, just watch there, if you offend Director Zhang by talking nonsense, then you can only pack up and leave!"
After explaining to the four of them, Lao Zhao took the lead in getting out of the van and led the four of them straight to the Qinhan Square in the center of Qinhan City, where some small group scenes in the studio of the Qin and Han Kingdoms were filmed.
Naturally, Director Zhang's trial scene for today's big battle is also in this place.
It didn't take long for Tang Nian and the others to arrive at the place.
But Lao Liu's face was pulled down for the first time, because beside Director Cheng, there were several other group leaders.
Is...... Peers are enemies!
"Lao Liu, why are you here, I heard that you are going back to your hometown to serve your grandson!"
A white and fat middle-aged man, smiling and squinting.
"Who said that? I'm not here to tease you! Lao Liu walked over quickly, but his mouth was unforgiving.
"You ......" The white fat middle-aged man reacted, and he was immediately furious.
"Okay, there are still ten minutes left, Director Zhang is coming over, I won't say anything superfluous, whoever gets into Director Zhang's eyes today, the ancient war scene in a week will be someone's life!"
A long-haired young man with half-rimmed glasses waved his hand to interrupt the words of several people, looking impatient.
Suddenly, several people fell silent.
Tang Nian observed silently and found that there were about a dozen group performers waiting here at the moment, all of them were tall, short, fat and thin, but they were all pure masters.
It's also strange, in group performances, there are usually very few women.
In this way, Lao Liu's so-called actor is a manual job, which is not unreasonable.
can't reach the role level, that is, they eat with a mouth, and they are just migrant workers in the entertainment industry, and what they sell is a handful of strength.
"Director Zhang!"
didn't let everyone wait longer, and the assistant director surnamed Cheng greeted the gray-haired middle-aged man who walked over.
"Okay, without further ado, the audition begins!"
Director Zhang was dressed casually, sat down in front of the camera set by the staff, waved his hand, and began to audition.
"Old Feng, start with your people!"
The assistant director surnamed Cheng was not talking, and nodded at the white and fat middle-aged man who had just almost gotten up with Lao Liu.
"Lao An, you come first!"
The white fat middle-aged man seemed to have gotten inside information in advance, and with a confident look on his face, he motioned for a young man he brought to come forward and stand within the camera.
"This is an ancient scene, you are a beggar, begging in front of the city gates!"
Director Zhang quickly gave an explanation of the scene, sat up straight, looked at the camera seriously, and squinted at the young man's performance.
The young man was also powerful, after listening to Director Zhang's words, his tall body instantly withered, his hands stretched forward, half-kneeling on the ground, his eyes looking at the camera, trembling slightly......
"No physical performance!"
When Tang Nian saw it, his heart was shocked, this young man surnamed An has good body language, and he really has two hits.
"The limbs are okay, but the expression and eyes are ......"
Director Zhang muttered a sentence in his mouth, and after a sigh, his whole body sat on the chair, without the consciousness of continuing to watch.
"Next!"
The assistant director surnamed Cheng did not give the young man surnamed An a chance to defend himself at all, and let him be completely out.
"I ......"
The young man surnamed An was about to speak, but he was stopped by a frown from the white fat middle-aged man.
In Hengdu Film and Television City, you can quarrel and make trouble with the group, but you must not leave a bad impression on the director, otherwise there will be no chance.
This is an iron law for a senior group performance like a young man surnamed An who can come out alone to pick up the work.
"Xiao Guo, you're coming!"
The white fat middle-aged man spoke up and called out the second senior group performer he brought, a young man in his early thirties.
"Continue with what you just saw!"
Seeing that Director Zhang didn't mean to speak, the assistant director surnamed Cheng tacitly spoke.
Perhaps frightened by Director Zhang's prestige, this quick-eyed young man surnamed Guo was stunned to interpret a beggar into a habitual thief, and Tang Nian shook his head.
After experiencing the strange nightmares of the past few days, Tang Nian saw the performance level of the young man surnamed Guo at a glance, and held back the smile in his heart.
And Director Zhang, who was sitting in front of the camera, laughed unceremoniously: "Let you play a beggar, not let you be a thief...... Next! ”
……
With the passage of time, only three of the senior group performances brought by seven or eight group leaders were brought by Lao Liu.
Director Zhang's face became more and more impatient, and the assistant director surnamed Cheng wiped the cold sweat on his forehead again and again.
"Next!"
Soon, the three generals brought by Lao Liu, only Lao Chen did not perform on stage.
"If you're at the same level, there's no need!"
Seeing that Director Zhang's face had completely darkened, the assistant director surnamed Cheng couldn't sit still anymore, he went straight to Lao Chen and said unceremoniously.
"I ......"
Lao Chen was forced to speak, and his face struggled for a while, like a balloon that had been punctured, and he lowered his head a little frustratedly.
"The last one, you, on!"
The assistant director surnamed Cheng had some despair on his face, and he didn't care about looking at Director Zhang's face anymore, so he struggled and waved his hand at Tang Nian.
"Me?"
The accident came too suddenly, and Tang Nian hesitated suddenly.
"Xiao Tang, don't delay, go!"
Lao Liu is actually even more bottomless in his heart, but at the moment, a gamble is a handful, what if Xiao Tang accidentally wins?
In the past half a day, Lao Liu was also wondering in his heart, is it that the high-level group performance routines in their hands are too deep, and there is no nature, so they can't be liked by Director Zhang, if they ...... What about Don, who changed this newborn calf......
"Don't worry, there's going to be a miracle!"
Pushing Tang Nian to the front and back of the camera, Lao Liu said uneasily.
Standing in front of the camera, Tang Nian closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
The next moment, Tang Nian opened his eyes, he didn't have any body movements, but the emotion in his eyes was infused.
Nightmare scenes for several nights came to mind, three or five beggars, and a variety of begging career scenes accumulated for thirty years, so that his eyes were full of the vicissitudes of the world......
"Huh?"
Director Zhang, who was about to go completely crazy, sat up straight all of a sudden, staring at the screen with his eyes.
"Someone threw half a moldy steamed bun into your bowl!"
Without any hesitation, Director Zhang gave the next scene, as if he wanted to try the ingredients of Tang Nian.
'Poof! ’
Tang Nian pounced forward, his hands were clasped on the ground, as if there was a broken bowl begging there, and then his eyes looked around vigilantly, and his hands quickly picked up, as if the air in the palm of his hand was the half of the moldy steamed bun, and he bit it down, gobbled it up, and soon ate the moldy steamed bun, and suddenly he choked, and then he picked his throat, pinched the hard pieces of the steamed bun that he spit out, and then stuffed it into his mouth again, chewing it tastefully, and his face couldn't tell whether he was excited or happy, A faint tear fell from the corner of his eye.
The assistant director surnamed Cheng, who was disgusted when he watched Tang Nian eat the vomited steamed buns again, suddenly saw a red mark on Tang Nian's knee and was suddenly stunned.
Because...... It was a bloodstain!
Just when Tang Nian was rushing forward, his knees collided with the stone floor......
"What the...... Put together! ”
The assistant director surnamed Cheng muttered to himself, and then glanced at Director Zhang, who had been completely aroused, and finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
"You can show the scene of begging at the city gate!"
Director Zhang was faintly excited in his eyes, more excited, he stood up, pushed the camera in front of him away, and let it face many senior group performances, the meaning was very clear, let the big guy come and take a look.
Soon, the camera was full of people watching, and their faces were full of jealousy, envy, and curiosity.
In the camera, after listening to Director Zhang's words, Tang Nian sat on the ground, as if he was in front of the ancient city gate where people came and went, with a thick begging in his eyes, his neck stretched out, like a stray dog begging pedestrians to feed, his eyes wandered around, as long as someone looked at it, he locked his gaze, and his whole body was in a strange posture, just like ...... is like a stray dog wagging its tail at a pedestrian again, at the moment when the pedestrian walks past, the eyes looking at the person's back are full of gloom, and the people in front of the camera feel unbearable.
"Good!"
Director Zhang cheered and took the initiative to applaud.
"There is no improvisation in the camera, let alone exquisiteness, only with heart can you play the role well. It's him, Lao Cheng, and I'll leave the rest to you! ”
As a big director, Director Zhang can spare half a day to try out the role of a beggar, which is already a huge effort, so naturally he will not stay here any longer.
Now that the candidate has been decided, Deputy Director Cheng will solve the rest.
"Alright, don't look any further, everyone! Now that Director Zhang is satisfied, then this role is decided! By the way, what's your name? ”
The assistant director surnamed Cheng asked.
"Tang Nian! Tang of the Tang Dynasty, the year of age! ”
"Okay, Lao Liu, let's talk!"
The assistant director surnamed Cheng didn't ask any more questions, silently read Tang Nian's name a few times, then recruited Lao Liu in front of him, and the two began to discuss the agreement.
"Director Cheng, look, next week's war drama ......"
The leaders of the group did not give up and came up.
"What's there, when I finish talking to Lao Liu, you can talk to him!"
The assistant director surnamed Cheng waved his hand, he didn't have the energy to talk to them at all, for the beggar role in Director Zhang's mind, he was busy for half a month, his spirit was greatly damaged, and he wanted to negotiate with Lao Liu as soon as possible, and hurry back to sleep, there is still the heart to say more to these people.
And Tang Nian, who was lucky to be chosen, was still standing there, looking stupid, as if he felt that everything in front of him was so unreal.
