Chapter 33 Interview Roles
Early the next morning, Gu Hanwen returned to the Drama Academy, ready to go to the dormitory to pick up a book and go to class. As soon as the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info entered the door of the dormitory building, he let a pair of hands stop him at the waist, and he was pulled by it. Gu Hanwen was taken aback, and when he looked at it, it turned out to be his roommate and best friend Hong Yuanhui who grabbed him.
Hong Yuanhui is not a native of S City, he is a student who was admitted to the School of Drama from other places, because he usually likes to communicate with other students in Mandarin with a local accent, and often "F, H" can't tell the difference, and "C, CH" can't be said accurately, so he is often regarded as a laughing stock by other students in the class.
Only when Gu Hanwen saw him for the first time, he felt that he was quite eye-catching, and he usually didn't laugh at Hong Yuanhui's accent like other classmates, and it happened that the two were arranged in the same dormitory, or the same bunk bed, so they naturally became close friends. The two are often inseparable, and are nicknamed the "Gu Panshenghui" combination by their classmates.
Gu Hanwen saw that it was Hong Yuanhui who was playing tricks on him, and while he was relieved, he couldn't help but find the field, and chased Hong Yuanhui and wanted to tease him too. Hong Yuanhui knew very well the methods of his brother, but a white-faced and black-hearted sesame bun came, and hurriedly smiled and begged for mercy: "Don't! Other! I was wrong! I was wrong! ”
Gu Hanwen smiled and scratched him a few times, then let him go, and asked a little strangely, "Why are you still standing here?" Aren't there classes in the morning? ”
Hong Yuanhui explained with a smile: "Last night, every dormitory in our department received a temporary notice from Mr. He, saying that a crew would come to our acting department for casting today, so I notified all students in our department to suspend classes for one day, so that students who are interested and capable can go to the crew to try." You went home last night and didn't get a notice, so I'm squatting here and watching you come back. ”
Gu Hanwen suddenly came to his senses when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Where did the crew come from?" What kind of scene are you going to film? Which roles to choose? ”
Hong Yuanhui frowned and thought for a while: "It seems to be from Tangren Film and Television Company, saying that it is going to make a modern romance idol drama, and we want to choose the male number one and some supporting roles in our department." I don't know very much about the specifics, Mr. He didn't say it, I have to go to the scene to see it. ”
Gu Hanwen's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked excitedly: "Tang Ren's company's play?" So what else is being said here? Let's go! Where is the interview address? After speaking, without waiting for Hong Yuanhui to answer, he dragged him out quickly.
Hong Yuanhui was a little stumbling by him, and replied as he walked: "Ahhhhh......h Where the interview will be held...... It was in the second rehearsal room of the school building. ”
"Let's go! Let's get over there! ”
The two of them came to the door of the second rehearsal room, which was already bustling, and it was full of classmates from the same department who had also received the notice and came to the interview after hearing the news. There were several display shelves outside the door of the rehearsal room, Hong Yuanhui and Gu Hanwen squeezed through the crowd and came to the display shelf, only to see that the title of the casting and some specific circumstances were introduced above:
Initial title: "Dandelion's Promise";
Rough plot: Xia Xue and Xia Bing are twin sisters in Taiwan who have been separated since childhood. Cheng Hao, a promising young man, tied the knot with Xia Xue and had a lovely daughter. But during a work trip to the mainland, Cheng Hao suffered amnesia due to an accident injury, and met and fell in love with Xia Bing......
Open casting role: Cheng Hao (male No. 1); Wang Bohan (male No. 2) ......
Requirements:
Cheng Hao (Male No. 1): It is required to be more than 180CM tall, with a well-proportioned figure, good facial features, and a delicate temperament. Candidates are required to perform a portion of their lines on the spot to observe their ability to understand and express their roles......
Wang Bohan (Male No. 2): ......
……
After Hong Yuanhui carefully read the contents of the display shelf twice, he quietly pulled Gu Hanwen next to him: "Which role do you want to interview?" ”
Gu Hanwen was still thinking about it, his face hesitated, and he didn't answer. Hong Yuanhui has known him for a year, and gradually figured out his habits and temper, knowing that he must not make a decision so quickly, so he asked himself on the side: "I don't think I have much chance of male number one, so I decided to interview male number two." You should choose the male one, right? ”
Gu Hanwen also thought about it clearly at this time, and nodded when he heard this.
Just when everyone was talking and secretly choosing the role they wanted, a staff member walked out of the rehearsal room and announced loudly to the students present: "Please choose the role you want to interview according to the promotional materials in front of the door and your own situation." If you choose to interview the male number one, please come here to concentrate. If you choose the second male lead, please go to the corridor to gather. If you choose a supporting role 1, please go to ......"
As the staff's voices continued to come out, the crowd in front of the door, which was originally a little chaotic, was quickly divided into several parts, and each stood in the designated place, waiting for the interview. Before parting from Gu Hanwen, Hong Yuanhui made a grimace at him and encouraged each other with him: "Come on!" Let's join the group together, and then we will play together! Be careful, don't let me rob you of your show! ”
Gu Hanwen smiled and spat on him: "You go first to the group, let's talk about it!" I don't know who grabbed whom! ”
Hong Yuanhui smiled back at him with a smile, and confidently lined up in the line of male number two.
The staff gave out a piece of paper to each student who interviewed for the role, on which was written the question when they were going to interview for the role later. Gu Hanwen took it and looked at it, it was a short line, and a short paragraph was written below: "Please memorize the following lines, and figure out the psychology and actions of the current character according to the content of the lines, and improvise the scene during the interview." ”
Gu Hanwen didn't rush to memorize the lines immediately, but read that short paragraph carefully several times, imagining the scene and character psychology in the lines in his heart, and chattering silently in his mouth.
Soon, a few minutes later, the staff member who had just appeared stood up again and asked the students queuing at the door to enter the interview one by one in the order of the queue.
There are about 20 male classmates who interviewed for the male number one, most of them are sophomores and juniors in the acting department, and only a few are Gu Hanwen's classmates. Since Gu Hanwen came in as a guaranteed student when he entered the department, and his usual academic performance was also excellent, these classmates saw that Gu Hanwen was also standing here, so they took him as the core and gathered together.
Except for Gu Hanwen, several other people were quietly discussing the interview questions they had just received. When you compare with each other, you find that everyone has the same question. Everyone was excited, and couldn't help but talk about their understanding of this line and the psychology of the character, hoping to hear some different ideas from others, so as to deepen their understanding.
Gu Hanwen stood aside, smiling as he listened to their heated discussions, occasionally saying a sentence or two as the finishing touch. Everyone did not reject Gu Hanwen because of his good grades and excellent performance. This is due to his usual enthusiasm for helping his classmates, as well as his usual friendly and approachable attitude.
Gu Hanwen did not put on a proud appearance just because he was a guaranteed student. It has long been a common thing to help students take notes and mark key points in class. If the students have difficulties, he can also help, and if they can't help, they will immediately report to the teacher and let the teacher help solve them. Although many people have seen the advertisements he endorses and know that he is making money by shooting advertisements, Gu Hanwen usually lives a very frugal life, never extravagantly and wastefully, and shows off arrogantly. Therefore, the classmates in the class also like him very much, and they are usually willing to take him as the leader when there is anything. Seeing that Gu Hanwen also applied for the role this time, everyone didn't have any jealous thoughts, but hoped that he could successfully pass the interview and win the role.
Some of the people who went in for interviews came out quickly, while others stayed inside for about half an hour. The students who were waiting outside counted the time, and whenever someone came out after a long time, they couldn't help but look at him twice, hoping to see something on the faces of the people who came out.
After almost an hour, it was finally Gu Hanwen's turn to go in. Several other classmates applauded him one by one. Gu Hanwen slapped them and walked into the rehearsal room with a confident smile.
There were two long tables in the rehearsal room across the door, and behind the tables sat three middle-aged people, one of whom was the staff member who had just given out the interview questions, and next to the table stood a beautiful young girl. Behind the sides of several people, a video camera was also placed, apparently to record the interview.
Gu Hanwen stepped forward solemnly, and just as he didn't know what to call him, the staff introduced to him: "Today's interview is hosted by Director Zhao of our crew, and this is Mr. Li, the representative of the investor, and this is Miss Sun who is standing against you." ”
Gu Hanwen hurriedly greeted everyone: "Hello Director Zhao!" Hello Mr. Lee! Hello Miss Sun! I am Gu Hanwen from the undergraduate class of the 01 performance department. ”
Mr. Li, who was sitting next to Director Zhao, suddenly asked with some uncertainty at this time: "Are you Gu Hanwen?" That Gu Hanwen who has filmed commercials? ”
Gu Hanwen was stunned when he heard this, and replied, "Yes, it's me." ”
At this time, Director Zhao interjected: "Let's take a look at the following performance first!" Mr. Li nodded and stopped talking. At this time, the staff signaled that Gu Hanwen could start. Gu Hanwen hesitated for a moment, suddenly raised his hand, and asked a little embarrassedly, "Before I start, can I ask one or two questions?" ”
None of the people present thought that Gu Hanwen would have a problem, and the staff asked at this time, "Is there any problem with classmate Gu?" ”
"I want to know more about the background and situation of this line before the scene." Gu Hanwen smiled a little shyly at this time, and he also felt a little embarrassed.
At this time, Director Zhao rarely saw a student who would ask questions in the interview, but he became interested and asked him rhetorically: "Then how do you understand this passage?" ”
Gu Hanwen plucked up his courage and said seriously: "I think that when saying this line, the protagonist should be in a relatively confused state, maybe he is not clear about the prospect, or he may not be confident in his own existence, so there is such a dialogue." It's just that I don't understand some of the details, so I hope to ask some clarification, which may be of great help to me in understanding the character. ”
"Then do you know that sometimes the director does not necessarily have the time or patience to tell you the play. If he doesn't tell you, you won't be able to act yourself? I'd be skeptical of your ability to understand the script. ”
Gu Hanwen saw that he was questioned, he was a little chuckled in his heart, and with a wry smile on his face, he still insisted: "But I think that before getting on the plane, if you can fully understand the various information of the role and understand some details more, it will be of great help to the actor to better interpret the role." Although it takes a long time before the play, it is easier for the actors to enter the play, and the number of NGs can be reduced, which may save time and cost, and the drama can be more vivid and moving. ”
Director Zhao and Mr. Li next to him glanced at each other and nodded. Director Zhao immediately said to Gu Hanwen: "I appreciate your spirit of curiosity, but you better win the role first and then talk about the future!" Let's see how about a pair of plays? ”
Seeing this, Gu Hanwen also understood that there would be no answer to the question just now, so he had to give up asking again, turned around and bowed to Miss Sun, and said modestly: "Trouble Miss Sun." ”
"You're welcome. Here we go! ”
Gu Hanwen nodded, and began to play the role according to the lines on the paper. He hadn't forgotten to see the camera in the back when he came in, and he didn't think it was just for decoration. These three years of experience in advertising shooting have made him highly sensitive to the camera, even if it is now in the process of informal shooting, he also judges the direction of the camera intentionally or unintentionally, and tries to pay attention to the actions, words and deeds within the scope of the camera.
There weren't many lines, and they were said quickly. Director Zhao didn't say a word about Gu Hanwen's interpretation, he couldn't see a look on his face, and just announced calmly: "It's okay, you can go out." ”
Gu Hanwen was worried in his heart, and when he heard this, he said goodbye again and turned to leave.
When he left the rehearsal room, several of his classmates looked at him with bright eyes. Among the candidates for the interview for the male number one, in terms of appearance, Gu Hanwen should have the best image among everyone, and his usual performance rarely disappoints, so everyone thinks that he will have a great chance of success.
Gu Hanwen couldn't help but smile a little wryly when he saw everyone's expectant eyes. At this time, Hong Yuanhui also finished the interview, and when he saw Gu Hanwen standing there, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Awen! You're out too? How's it going, is it a success? ”
Gu Hanwen smiled bitterly: "Maybe it's no fun." When I went in, I didn't handle it properly, and I guess it didn't make a good impression. ”
Hong Yuanhui was stunned: "What happened?" ”
Gu Hanwen told Hong Yuanhui what happened in the rehearsal room, and Hong Yuanhui also looked solemn after hearing it. However, he quickly recovered and comforted Gu Hanwen: "It's okay!" Maybe the criteria for judging other directors are different from what we imagined! ”
"That's all I can think about!" Gu Hanwen was a little frustrated. It's just that the interview has passed, no matter how frustrated he is, he can't change the facts, Gu Hanwen doesn't think about it anymore, he lets go and leaves with Hong Yuanhui.
