14. Audition
There were three people sitting in 507, one was director Xie Jia. His appearance is a little different from Lin Yunze's impression. Even indoors, he wears a baseball cap and a dark track suit. There was another short-haired lady sitting on a chair a little farther away, looking a little old, but she was dressed very fashionably, but her body was not well managed. Lin Yunze could see her bulging belly under the tights.
There is also an acquaintance of Lin Yunze, who is not very familiar, but he has known each other for a few more days. He is the actor who played the general in "Da Jiangdong Go", Xu Chaosheng.
Xu Chaosheng was also surprised when he saw Lin Yunze, "Yunze, why did you come here?" ”
"What, you know each other?" Xie Jia asked, halfway through speaking, he suddenly reacted again, "Yes, you were all at Old Man Zhang's place before-I watched the video of your performance, it was very tense, although it was a little rougher." ”
Lin Yunze said hello to Xu Chaosheng first, and she was also surprised to see him here. He also has the beard from "Da Jiangdong Go". So although Lin Yunze hadn't seen him in modern clothes, he recognized him at a glance.
Xie Jia is still saying that he is a person who is very strict with his works, and he is even better than Director Zhang. But Lin Yunze hasn't been taught yet, and now listening to Xie Jia's non-stop talking, he thinks he's quite interesting, but it's too verbose.
"You were recommended by Old Man Zhang, so I'll give you a chance." Xie Jia said that he had only seen Lin Yunze's performance in "Da Jiangdong Go". He didn't doubt her performance in "Da Jiangdong Go", and he was not blind, so he could naturally see that under her performance, Princess Changning, who was originally an empty shell, lived.
But he believes that this is the credit of Old Man Zhang. Because of Old Man Zhang's guidance and grinding one shot at a time, such an effect will finally be presented in the video. Because of this, he is more sure of Old Man Zhang's directing ability, and he is more skeptical of Lin Yunze's acting ability.
He even suspected that without Old Man Zhang's guidance, this kid didn't even know what acting was, and he couldn't act anything.
He took out a manuscript and gave it to Lin Yunze, asking her to act according to the above, and Xu Chaosheng gave her a role.
Lin Yunze looked at the content on the paper, and then told the director that he was going outside to prepare.
Xie Jia gave her ten minutes.
Waiting for Lin Yunze to walk out of 507, Xie Jia raised his chin and asked Xu Chaosheng how she was.
Xu Chaosheng touched the long and stiff beard on his chin and said, "A girl with a lot of aura." If you guide it well, you may become a movie queen in a year......" Speaking of the movie queen, he was a little stunned. I think he has been in the industry for more than ten years, he has played all the small and big roles, and he has won awards softly, but the most important one has never won it.
This is also the director, although he has excellent acting skills and good resources, he has never been able to squeeze into the ranks of first-line movie actors.
Being able to come to Haiqing to meet Xie Jia this time is also the result of his active efforts. He likes Xie Jia's book this time. If he can play the male lead, after the movie is sent to the competition, and then it is operated a little, the result will definitely not be bad.
"But what is she playing? Was the heroine a child? Xu Chaosheng thought of the information in the script and asked.
The woman who answered him was a woman who had been sitting without speaking, her voice was a little low, but it gave people a very calm feeling: "Just give me a chance, forget it if you don't act well." Let's just audition today. ”
Lin Yunze went to the corridor and looked at the contents of the paper. The content is not much, a hundred words, and a conversation between a girl and a policeman is written.
Although in her words, the little girl tried her best to explain that she had nothing to do with the accident, but there was a strangeness in her words. It was this oddity that made the police suspicious, so they began to interrogate the girl constantly.
"What did you do when it happened?"
"Can anyone prove it?"
"Why is the kitchen window closed?"
The girls answered them one by one, and the answers seemed seamless, which temporarily relieved the police.
Lin Yunze looked at the word "crying" written on the paper, and was a little embarrassed. How the girl cried when she spoke, and how she looked when she cried. What confused her the most was the girl's feelings for "Dad".
If the girl really loves her father, is a good child, and is full of positive energy, then what else will this movie make. Touching the edge of the paper, Lin Yunze fell into deep thought, and conceived a scene in his head.
The girl's father was killed in a gas explosion. The police investigated the scene and determined that it was an accident. But the seasoned old policeman had another idea, he found the girl who had become an orphan, hoping that the girl would solve some of the doubts in his heart.
This is all a plot she deduced based on the girl's lines, and she doesn't know if it's correct or not, but she decided to act as she wanted.
There was still a little time left, Lin Yunze went to the bathroom and pulled up his trouser legs, turned them into cropped pants, and stained the upper of his shoes with water. I tied another very energetic but messy hair, and put a few drops of eye drops into my eyes.
When she was ready, she opened her umbrella and knocked on 507's door again.
After entering the house, she put away her umbrella, shook it diagonally twice, and then came to sit next to Xu Chaosheng. Directly across from her was a fixed camera that recorded her every move and word she spoke.
"Uncle Xu......" After the girl sat down, she spoke timidly. It's been a while since her father died, what is this policeman coming to her for?
Nodding his head with the girl, after greeting him, Xu Chong said, "Midsummer, I think you already know how your father's death happened...... We found lighter fragments and cigarette butts at the scene. We speculate that there was a gas leak and that your father was lighting a cigarette in the kitchen and causing the gas to explode. Everyone knew what was going on, and he didn't say it again.
Midsummer didn't speak, just looked at him with puzzled eyes. The girl had talking eyes that were now full of pain, sorrow, and incomprehension.
Xu Chong paused, he also knew that these days, the girl had an easy time. She has lived with her father since she was a child, and now her only relative is gone. He sighed inwardly. However, sympathy is sympathy, and some questions must be asked clearly: "The police went to the kitchen to investigate and found that most of the kitchen windows were closed, why is this?" ”
Generally speaking, the kitchen is the most ventilated place with heavy fumes, and the windows should be fully opened.
The girl recalled for a moment and said: "That morning, it rained a little. I went to the kitchen to cook, and I didn't want the rain to come in, so I closed the window. ”
Xu Chong nodded, he also remembered that it had rained that morning. Before going out, his wife also told him to be careful when driving, the road was slippery.
The girl suddenly collapsed, lowered her head and hid her face and cried bitterly: "If I had turned off the gas and opened the window that morning, Dad would not have died!" ”
Xu Chong was at a loss, not knowing how to deal with the girl who suddenly started crying.
Since her father's death, the girl, who has never slept peacefully, is still crying: "I am the murderer of my father!" ”
Xu Chong was shocked and hurriedly reassured: "We all know that this is an accident, and no one blames you." Don't blame yourself either. ”
The girl lifted her tearful face, her voice trembling, "Everyone says so, that I am the murderer of my father......" The girl was still crying silently, as if she was going to cry out all the sorrows of these days.
And Xu Chong looked at the girl who kept crying, only turned his head, looked out the window and sighed.
After a minute or so, the girl stopped crying, she wiped away her tears and stood up, bowing to the three people present: "My show is over. ”
Xie Jia looked at the girl with a paralyzed face, a little distracted. If it weren't for the redness and swelling of Haihai's eyes, he must not have been able to connect her with the girl who was in pain before. From the moment she saw the girl's appearance, Xie Jia knew that she was a pretty smart girl. The script did not write about the time, place and weather of the meeting between the two. But she reasoned from herself and set the day as a rainy day.
She shook her umbrella before entering the door to shake off the rain from the umbrella, and in order to avoid getting wet by the rain, she also pulled up her trouser legs. Her emotions are free, sad when she should be sad, and cry when she should cry. Except for the lines that are not very good, there is nothing else to find fault with.
Listening to Old Man Zhang, this is the first time a girl has acted. He couldn't help but smack his mouth, the young people now are really amazing.
"I think so, what do you think, director?" Lin Yunze set his eyes on the woman who spoke, and couldn't figure out who she was, and she could influence the director's decision.
After Xie Jia watched the replay again, he finally nodded: "It's good." As a young actor, this acting skill is qualified. ”
Hearing the director's approval, Lin Yunze curled the corners of his lips slightly, but immediately pursed his mouth into a straight line. Her wish is not just to play the little girl who appears less than three minutes in the director's film.
"Director, can you give me a chance to try out the whole role?"
As soon as Lin Yunze's words came out, the three adults of 507 all looked at her. But she was not afraid, and only looked at Xie Jia with a firm gaze.
