Chapter 19: The Green Years
A few days later, it was time for the audition, and Gu Wu arrived at the agreed audition location.
As soon as she entered the door, she immediately became nervous, because there were already several girls sitting outside, and it seemed that they were all here for this role.
Gu Wu sat down silently, waiting for the staff to call her name.
Looking at the actress next to her, Gu Wu only knew one of them.
Charan
If Gu Wu in the previous life was such a process of instant success and gradual decline, then Xia Lan is the story of a complete turnaround after decades of obscurity with a movie.
Xia Lan, who got the actress at that time, was already in her thirties, and the years did not take away her beauty, but added more charm.
After winning the title of actress that year, Xia Lan became more and more popular, and she entered the ranks of top actresses in just one year, until Gu Wu passed away in a car accident, Xia Lan was infinitely beautiful.
Of course, this will happen later, and now Xia Lan is just a little girl who has just graduated and has little acting experience.
Xia Lan noticed Gu Yu's eyes and smiled at her.
Gu Wu could see that Xia Lan was very nervous, but in fact, she was also very nervous.
"Hello, my name is Gu Wu, a sophomore at the film academy." She offered to reach out
Xia Lan hurriedly stretched out her hand and shook it: "Hello, I am from the Performance Department of the Academy of Drama, and I just graduated." ”
After the two shook hands, they were silent at the same time, everyone knew that there was only one role, and they were all in competition.
The number Gu Yu got was at the back, looking at the girls who came out one after another, either expressionless or depressed.
When the staff called out to Gu Wu, she exhaled deeply, stood up and walked into the room.
There was a camera in the center of the room, and there were three people sitting behind it, Gu Wu saw Li Youcheng sitting in the middle at first glance, and when her eyes turned, Gu Wu was stunned.
The other party was obviously prepared, he looked at Gu Wu with a stern expression, and after a moment, Gu Wu also adjusted, slowly exhaled and walked to the middle.
He looked at Gu Wu's information and said expressionlessly: "The script has been given to you in advance, and you will interpret it according to the fragments on the script." ”
Gu Yu nodded, moved a few steps to the side slightly, and Li Youcheng raised his hand and shouted, "Start!" ”
The yellow sand was all over the sky, and Xiang'er wrapped her veil tighter. She walks briskly to an abandoned village where she will change her life.
Xiang'er's eyes burst into an instant, and her fingers trembled slightly with excitement, but she knew that she couldn't show it, the other party was a powerful horse thief, and if she missed the consequences of waiting for her in front of them, Xiang'er didn't dare to think about the consequences.
Bypassing the short wall that was only half blown by the wind, three big sweaters in gray robes sat together, their eyes staring at Xiang'er at the same time.
She tried to raise her head, puffed up her chest to look noble, and walked towards the other person step by step.
One of them stared at her for a long time, his blinding eyes making her fidget.
"Did you come here today just to stare at me?"
Xiang'er raised her head, lowered her eyes slightly, and looked at the three people opposite with a condescending attitude, although she tried her best to make an indifferent attitude, but the slightly trembling Xiao pointed out that she was nervous at the moment.
Xiang'er saw the other party's mouth move, and the sound of the passing wind covered the other party's voice, but Xiang'er still understood their plan from the lip movements of the person opposite.
Suddenly, a cold sensation that had never been felt before spread from the soles of my feet to my head.
Xiang'er's face turned pale, and her eyes looked at them in disbelief.
She didn't come back to her senses until the wind stopped: "I don't believe it!" “
The person in the middle took out a piece of something and handed it to Xiang'er, and when she got it, the whole person was wooden.
"Click"
Gu Wu broke away from the scene of the script, there are not many scenes in Xiang'er in the whole play, and this few single scenes are a huge contradiction in Xiang'er's attitude change, making a proud girl who just wants to teach the male protagonist a lesson to an enemy who wants his life.
It is not easy to express Xiang'er's feelings of hatred and love for the male protagonist. Emotionally, Xiang'er has a crush on the male protagonist, but intellectually she hates him, and in addition to watching him and his friends become more and more intensely in love, the emotional outburst in an instant is very difficult to control.
"Tell me about your personal understanding of Xiang'er's role," Li Youcheng asked with his hands crossed
Gu Wu thought for a while and said: "Xiang'er doesn't have many scenes, but she is a very complex character. On the one hand, she has a crush on Gu Fengcheng, and because she is the daughter of an elder, her pride makes her not open her mouth to confess her intentions, and she has lost the opportunity. Later, he watched the relationship between his sisters who grew up with him getting better and better, and this tear was too heavy for a girl who was only seventeen years old. I didn't see the full script, judging from all the information I could get, I think in the first half of the film, she had an unspeakable love for Gu Fengcheng, and later after learning the truth about her life experience, she stripped away her bloody feelings and chose the road of power. It can be said that Xiang'er is a rational woman. But her abilities were not enough to match her ambitions, and her actions failed to end her life. “
After Gu Wu finished speaking, she quietly waited for their verdict.
The three of them looked at each other for a moment, Li Youcheng looked at the script in his hand with a stern face, and after a while, he smiled at Gu Wu and said, "There are three people in the back, you can wait outside." ”
Although he didn't say it explicitly, Gu Wu saw satisfaction in his eyes, and her heart was excited.
Immediately bow ninety degrees: "Thank you." ”
The three of them were taken aback by Gu Wu's sudden action, and Li Youcheng smiled: "Go out, the result hasn't come out yet." ”
After everyone auditioned for the audition, the producer on the side asked directly: "Director Li, have you counted this role?" ”
Li Youcheng nodded, and looked sideways at Yu Zhefu, who had not spoken.
Without waiting for him to speak, the producer continued: "Actually, I think the one named Xia Lan is not bad, her acting skills are better than Gu Wu." ”
Li Youcheng nodded: "I agree with you, Gu Wu looks like there are a lot of problems. That Xia Lan is much better than Gu Yu in terms of eye expression and lines. But I still choose Gu Wu. ”
The producer was surprised: "Why? ”
Li Youcheng pinched the mountain roots: "Futu is a chapter adapted to the novel of Fusheng Ruomeng, which is written about what Tang monk Xitian saw and heard when he studied scriptures. Xiang'er has a very specific description in it. As soon as she appeared, the author used words like "beautiful, sunny, fresh as the woods after rain" to describe it. Do you think Xia Lan is suitable? ”
The producer rubbed his face, and he had to admit that just looking at the appearance and the feeling she gave people, Gu Yu was much more suitable than Xia Lan.
Although Xia Lan has good acting skills, she has a particularly big shortcoming. Her appearance is somewhat mature, and can even be said to be old-fashioned.
This kind of appearance is obviously not suitable for the setting of Xiang'er, a seventeen-year-old girl.
This is also the reason why Xia Lan has been unknown in her youth, and she has become more and more eye-catching until she is thirty years old.
Xia Lan is a very rare actress who is more elegant the older she gets.
The producer also felt that it made sense after listening to Li Youcheng's explanation, and then he asked with some uncertainty: "Then you have confidence in Gu Youcheng's acting skills?" ”
When Li Youcheng heard this, he suddenly remembered the scene when his younger brother recommended Gu to him that day.
"Brother, I have an actress here who is a sophomore this year, and I think she has a play. Aren't you crazy to find the role of Xiang'er? Why don't you try her? ”
Li Youcheng frowned and replied: "My movie doesn't accept going through the back door." "I've been in the circle for a long time, what mess haven't I ever seen? His works only need the most suitable actors, any unspoken rules, and he refuses them all when he comes up through the back door. Because of this temper, he offended many investors, but because of this temper, his works became more and more popular with the audience, and gradually became a lot of fame.
