7. Familiar studios

Li Gang's "Director Sun who will take you to the shed in the afternoon" is named Sun Ping. She is the director of Group B of "The Legend of the Lady" and one of the casting directors in the early stage. A strong woman in her early forties, capable and cool, is the mainstay of Li Gang's team.

In his previous life, Feng Tangtang and Sun Ping had a brief contact. At that time, Sun Ping was already leading the project alone, and at that time he was going to make an urban web drama with low cost and short shooting cycle, but Sun Ping's requirements were not low, the role of the heroine faced many experienced actors who were not popular, and Feng Tangtang also went to audition.

Feng Tangtang's impression of Sun Ping is domineering, tough, and unsentimental. The requirements for professionalism are very high, and the employment of people first depends on the acting skills and then the fame, compared with Li Gang's control of the overall situation and ease, he emphasizes his own directing style more, and it is not easy to speak.

The reason why I have such an impression has a lot to do with the tragedy of Feng Tangtang's interview. After the unpleasant interview, Sun Ping said that her "expression is not good" and "her feelings are not satisfied", Feng Tangtang wanted to try more, Sun Ping directly said, "There is no drama after trying a few times, crying is not like crying and laughing and not wanting to laugh", which made her blush on the spot, tears in her eyes, and tried hard to control it so that she didn't cry on the spot.

There are many directors who have rejected Feng Tangtang in their previous lives, but Sun Ping is the only one who speaks so directly. The entertainment industry is really a circle, maybe who will meet whom in the future, and who will need to pull it. offended people by opening her mouth, which not only showed her director's style, but also directly stamped the actor, this actor will have no drama in the future, no matter how she is connected in a circle, she will not be needed in the future.

So Li Gang said that let Sun Ping bring her into the studio actors, Feng Tangtang's heart refused. Even though the tragedy of her life in her previous life shows that Sun Ping has accurate vision and is a good director, the psychological shadow left by this good director is too huge!

After repeatedly brainwashing himself, "I was reborn and she didn't know me, I was reborn and she didn't know me, I was reborn and she didn't know me", Feng Tangtang, who was stubborn, walked up to Sun Ping and greeted her: "Director Sun, I'll go to give you a hand in the afternoon, if there is anything to prepare in advance, you can greet me directly." ”

Sun Ping was buried in a pile of essays, without raising her head: "Well, you first familiarize yourself with the biography of the character." ”

In a word, Feng Tangtang was so frightened that he didn't dare to hold it up, and even claimed that it was, went back to his workstation, and quietly reread the character biography and script fragments of the characters he was going to meet in the afternoon.

Under Sun Ping's invisible pressure, Feng Tangtang, who is known as "reciting "The Legend of the Lady Concubine" upside down, actually saw some new names in the rereading, not only lamenting that the complexity of human nature is really infinite, but if you want to dig out the connotation of the character, you can never dig it out. During the lunch break, Feng Tangtang was not idle, while eating takeout, she drew in circles on the text that Li Gang gave her, and wrote her experience violently.

Of course, in her selfish heart, Feng Tangtang focused on drawing the "Yan Promise" that she wanted to grab with Zhao Qing.

This character has little inner drama and a lot of things to put on the outside. The setting is that she was born as a dancing girl, young and beautiful, and used her dancing skills to climb from the official woman to the position of promise, and joined the camp of the concubine during her pregnancy, helping the concubine compete for favor with the concubine, but she gradually became pampered and arrogant, and the concubine cleaned her up immediately after giving birth to the prince.

In the broadcast version of "The Legend of Concubine Shu" that Feng Tangtang watched, Zhao Qing grasped the three main characteristics of this character: charming, arrogant, and stupid. The agility of the dance in the main hall, the coquettishness when the favor, the villain's ambition after the favor, and the disbelief when he was executed. Zhao Qing grasped several important scenes relatively well. She herself admitted in an interview that it was precisely because of the successful shaping of this role that she was able to take on a lot of little women's plays later.

When Feng Tangtang asked Li Gang to audition, her idea was very simple: to strengthen the characteristics of the character and add details to these characteristics, that is, she wanted to play the role more flattering, proud, and stupid. But after being pressured by Sun Ping to reread the role, Feng Tangtang opened a new idea: Why do I have to play the characteristics that Zhao Qing captured? There are so many points in this character, I can compete differently!

So next to this character, she wrote a lot of thought notes.

After lunch, Feng Tangtang walked to Sun Ping's side early and reported: "Director Sun, I'm ready." ”

Maybe it was because she was in a good mood after eating, Sun Ping not only raised her head this time, but also smiled at her: "You are quite positive." ”

Feng Tangtang naturally gave a little sunshine and it was shining: "I'm a newcomer, I should be positive." ”

Sun Ping saw that there were a bunch of ghost drawing talismans on the pile of paper she was holding, and stretched out her hand and said, "Did your homework?" Show me. ”

Feng Tangtang regretted that his handwriting level was ...... is a level that can barely be understood, if she knows that Director Sun wants to read it, she will write it well. But now there is no way, so I have to respectfully present my bad notes.

She writes a lot of thought notes, and Sun Ping also reads them seriously, she does not skim hastily, but reads them carefully from beginning to end. Feng Tangtang cautiously peeked at Sun Ping's expression when he looked at the notes a few times, and Director Sun's expression was the same as when he auditioned for others: no expression. Feng Tangtang felt that he was more nervous than trying Director Sun's play in his previous life, after all, Director Sun's scolding gave her a very big psychological shadow.

Closing the above, Sun Ping returned the note to Feng Tangtang and said nothing.

Feng Tangtang didn't hold his breath, and asked, "Director Sun, ...... you?"

"I heard that you called Li Gang Uncle Li?" Sun Ping interrupted her, "Then you can call me Sister Sun in the future, I'm not afraid of being a generation shorter than Lao Li, the key is that I'm younger than her, right?" ”

Feng Tangtang was momentarily stunned: "Yes, Sister Sun." ”

Sun Ping nodded with satisfaction, and asked again: "Listen to Lao Li, do you want to try Yan to promise this corner?" ”

Feng Tangtang hadn't recovered from the shock of "Oh my God, Sun Ping actually joked that she still asked me to call her sister", and just nodded blankly after listening to the question.

Sun Ping walked into her and patted her on the shoulder in a friendly way: "If you have ideas, I look forward to your expression." Let's go, the driver is waiting downstairs. ”

Feng Tangtang was even more overwhelmed by this shooting, and the barrage in his brain was already full, "She encouraged me, the director who scolded me and cried before I was reborn encouraged me, I must soar, I must be red in this life, do you see it, she said that she is looking forward to my performance, ahhhhhh......h

got into the car, Sun Ping began to bow her head and work again, Feng Tangtang was infected by her workaholic's breath, and she was also nervous to make up for it. From the studio to the suburbs, the car drove for nearly two hours, and after getting out of the car, Feng Tangtang felt that his eyes were going blind, and he admired Sun Ping even more for the whole work.

When he entered the shed and saw the scene, Feng Tangtang was not nervous. This familiar feeling, her drama soul burned again.

Sun Ping's eyes straightened with excitement when she saw her enter the shed, and nodded at her: "You are the interviewer today, don't be mistaken, go back to Lao Li and ask about you, don't ask three questions, don't blame me for not bringing you well when the time comes." ”

Feng Tangtang nodded immediately: "I know, I know." Sister Sun, don't worry, I know that I came to the director post for an internship, and I would like to ask you to mention me more. ”

Sun Ping stopped talking and walked behind the camera with her. Because today is an audition and there is only one fixed position, Sun Ping skillfully adjusted the machine and said to the staff: "You can start." ”

Feng Tangtang stood next to Sun Ping, looking at the small screen obliquely, with mixed feelings: she even had a day as an actor.

Already waiting for the actors to come up one by one. Because there is no help from costumes, the first thing to pay attention to when trying costume dramas is "entering". The list of actors for this audition was listed by Li Gang, and some vase actors obviously couldn't get into Sun Ping's eyes, she just watched patiently. Sun Ping's face is not obvious, but Feng Tangtang can guess ** is not far from ten.

is not only because Feng Tangtang knows Sun Ping's temper, but also because Feng Tangtang has a set of "standard answers for the broadcast version" in his heart. Even if the fixed angle after rebirth will be different from what she saw in her previous life, she has a spectrum of casting criteria for the play "The Legend of the Lady".

Every time an actor passes, Sun Ping asks her to express her opinion first. Feng Tangtang was well prepared and talked about two aspects, one is the difference between the actor's interpretation of the role and her understanding of the role, and the other is the gap between the actor and the casting standard. Some characters, Sun Ping will simply say her opinions after listening, and some will just listen to it and not speak. Feng Tangtang carefully wrote down everything she said. Director Sun's thinking is fast 0, if there is anything, Feng Tangtang can't understand it on the spot, and it is inconvenient to discuss back and forth on the spot, so he can only remember the memo first.

One after another, Zhao Qing finally arrived.

Feng Tangtang's impression of Zhao Qing is that she became famous many years later, and when she saw this young version of Zhao Qing at first glance, she was still a little uncomfortable. Zhao Qing's appearance is indeed very suitable for Yan Yu's temperament, the petite figure of the little woman, the small and delicate face is slightly raised, charming and confident.

After Zhao Qing came up, she used to greet the casting director: "Director Sun is good." ”

She looked at Feng Tangtang beside Sun Ping, was slightly surprised for a moment, and quickly greeted: "Feng Tangtang, hello." ”

This is the first person to recognize Feng Tangtang today. As an out-of-fashion child star, Feng Tangtang dressed very low-key today, and specially brought a baseball cap. Some actors don't know her, and some are not sure if they recognize her. Zhao Qing didn't hesitate, which surprised her a lot.

"Hello Zhao Qing." Feng Tangtang finally didn't forget his identity, and responded generously, "You want to try two roles today, are you separate or together?" Do you need a break in between? ”

"No, I don't." Zhao Qing smiled at Sun Ping and nodded, "It's good to be together." ”

Feng Tangtang observed that Sun Ping frowned slightly, and secretly felt a little devil in his heart: I didn't dig a pit on purpose, this is a regular process, and I can't stop it if you have to jump.

"Which one does come first?" Feng Tangtang continued to ask.

"First Li Guiren, then Yan agreed." After Zhao Qing finished speaking, Sun Ping's brows furrowed more obviously, and she directly urged her: "Then start immediately." ”

Li Guiren is a character who has a lot more scenes than Yan promised, and Duan Chun is alive twice as many episodes as Yan promised. But Li Guiren is a gentle and atmospheric classical beauty who is familiar with poetry and books, and in the broadcast version that Feng Tangtang watched, this role was played by a well-known actor with a height of 175, and his qualifications were much older than Zhao Qing.

Feng Tangtang took the list and specially asked Li Gang why Zhao Qing wanted to try two roles with such a big contrast. What Li Gang meant was that the crew had just started to contact her, and they just asked her to try Yan to agree. As for Li Guiren, it was the result of Zhao Qing's brokerage company.

Anyway, it didn't take too much time to try more roles, and the crew gave her a favor from her agency.

Young man, anxious, why doesn't Feng Tangtang understand. But young people, if they can't understand their own positioning, it will be a little troublesome, and this lesson Feng Tangtang has exchanged for his life.

Sure enough, Zhao Qing's interpretation of Li Guiren was full of embarrassment, and the result of holding up the aura was to use too much force. After Zhao Qing finished the performance by herself, she seemed to feel bad, and smiled at Sun Ping and said, "The state is not very good, Director Sun, I want to do it again." ”

Sun Ping maintained her usual style and said lightly: "No need." Let's move on to the next one, Yan promised. ”

Feng Tangtang guessed that she said "no need to rest, come together" just now, and I am afraid that her intestines will be ruined at this time.

Zhao Qing didn't ask again, she closed her eyes, took a few deep breaths, and immediately started the lines that Yan promised.

Feng Tangtang saw that Director Sun's eyes lit up.
