10. Audition Recommendation (Revision)
Although the entertainment industry is small, there is never a shortage of artists in the circle.
Although many TV dramas start filming every year, resources are still in a state of "short supply".
Don't look at many actors who always say that they are filming 360 days a year, the schedule is always full, and there are many scenes that can't be filmed.
But in fact, there are only first- and second-tier actors who don't worry about filming.
The little transparent at the bottom wants to get a better system, either they take shit luck and meet the crew to audition and select people, or they have nobles to help them match.
This time, Li Lihua introduced Lou Jingwen to the audition of "Dynasty" that Wu Hao was going to shoot, which is the second situation.
Wu Hao has been filming TV for more than 20 years, although it is not highly productive, but his dramas are of good quality.
Not to say that each one is a classic, but it is definitely a boutique.
Wu Hao likes to study history since he was a child and has a special fondness for historical plots. The TV series such as "A Generation of Emperors" and "Jiangshan" filmed before are not only logical and rigorous, but also have a bloody plot with ups and downs while respecting history, which is really powerful.
Therefore, this time I learned that Wu Hao was going to start filming "Dynasty", and many celebrity agencies took the initiative to contact them, wanting to get roles for their artists.
It's just a pity that Wu Hao has a problem, that is, he casts and only asks friends to recommend it.
So no matter how hard those agencies tried, he didn't even give a chance to audition.
This is also the reason why someone talked to Director Li that night.
That night, Director Li deliberately didn't mention anything about the casting of "Dynasty" by getting drunk, but no one could have imagined that he was not unclear at all, but he already had a candidate in his heart.
This person is naturally Lou Jingwen.
Qin Lun almost laughed insomnia at night after learning that Lou Jingwen had won the audition for "Dynasty".
He had also worked hard to win this opportunity to audition before, and the company originally wanted to win this opportunity for Feng Liuchuan.
Qin Lun currently has three artists in his hands, and the best one at present is Feng Liuchuan.
He debuted two years before Lou Jingwen, and he was lucky to act in several idol dramas, all of which were big hits, and his acting skills were also good among the idol actors, so the company was particularly interested.
At present, he has popularity and experience, but he is short of a TV series that can brush up on the style, seeing that "Dynasty" is the best opportunity, but it's a pity that Director Wu doesn't give him a chance.
Originally, he gave up, but who would have thought that Lou Jingwen would be so competitive?
"Xiaolou, you really thank Director Li for recommending you this time, he has a good relationship with Director Wu, and there is almost no need for Director Wu to recommend the actors he recommends." Qin Lun's tone was bright, and he could see that he was in a good mood.
Can you not be happy if such a good resource is smashed on your own artist?
After sorting out the audition outline and preparing to hand it over to Lou Jingwen, Qin Lun instructed again, "You must do your best when you audition, Wu Jian is also a male third, and if you can face it, you will wait for the ascension in the future." ”
Getting off the treadmill, Lou Jingwen picked up a towel and wiped the sweat on his forehead, and then took the audition outline in Qin Lun's hand.
Before the TV series was released, a qiē script was in danger of being plagiarized, so the crew only introduced the characters and the general story synopsis in a few simple sentences on the audition outline for the actors, and the specific plot was not revealed at all, so that on such a concise outline, even the audition content was written very roughly, only the individual character lines, and the content of the scene and the scene were not introduced.
His experience as an actor has only been reborn for such a short period of time, and the number of auditions is only a handful, but he has never eaten pork and has seen pigs run, so he naturally knows that auditions should give clear content in advance.
Such an audition outline that relies entirely on the brain, Lou Jingwen is the first time I have seen it.
Although the content is vague, Lou Jingwen is not idle. "Dynasty" is based on history and historical fiction, so the best script for him at the moment is that historical book.
Lou Jingwen was in contact with all kinds of people, and he contacted several big customers before he mixed up, one of them was very interested in this history, and in order to cater to the taste of this customer, he studied the books that recorded this history countless times, and finally he naturally won the lottery among many competitors and successfully won this customer.
Although he has not been in contact with this history since then, Lou Jingwen has a good memory, and after many years, he has a clear understanding of Wu Jian's character, relationship background and main achievements.
The historical background of this drama is an era of war, and it is said that heroes are born in troubled times, so "Dynasty" is centered on Wu Jing, the legendary hero who finally unified the four countries.
As the last overlord, Wu Jing naturally had many right-hand men in the process of unifying the four countries, and his younger brother Wu Jian was one of them.
Lou Jingwen likes this loyal, brave and resourceful little overlord very much, but if you want to say that his favorite character in the troubled times, it is another.
Qiao Rong.
A beautiful hero, but only slightly amazing.
As a famous strategist in history, Qiao Rong, known as Wu Jing's right-hand man, also has a very important role in "Dynasty", so his role is positioned as the second male lead.
It's a pity that the actors in the crew have already been arranged, and the role of Qiao Rong has already been won by other actors.
Lou Jingwen regretted that he didn't have the opportunity to compete for this role.
However, he also understands his current situation, if it weren't for Director Li, he wouldn't even be able to get an audition for the role of Wu Jian.
If you want to do it, you have to do it to the best of your ability.
The sun was just right in the afternoon, and Lou Jingwen returned to the hotel after filming.
Sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, putting on a pair of glasses, Lou Jingwen, who instantly had a bit of bookish atmosphere, lazily basked in the afternoon sun and began to read leisurely.
used to be busy making money and intrigues, but after being reborn, he was forced to make a living and has been busy filming, and finally had time to read books again, this long-lost comfort Lou Jingwen cherishes it very much.
Qin Lun swiped the room card and entered the house, just wanted to call Lou Jingwen, but after seeing such a quiet and beautiful picture, he obediently closed his mouth.
He stood there and admired it for twenty minutes, then he took out his mobile phone and quietly took a photo of Lou Jingwen reading a book.
*
The day of the audition is set for ten days later.
Since it was not a large-scale audition casting, the crew did not announce the news of this audition, so the location of the audition was also chosen in a very low-key and hidden place.
Lou Jingwen was received immediately after his arrival.
"Is the audition for Dynasty here?"
It was not Lou Jingwen who spoke, but another actor who also came to audition.
Lou Jingwen couldn't help but turn his head to look at the other party.
The person who came turned out to be Liu Haofei.
The other party seemed to notice Lou Jingwen's cunning, turned his head to look at it, and nodded at Lou Jingwen with a smile.
Immediately afterwards, a little surprise flashed on Liu Haofei's face.
"Xiaolou? You're also here for an audition? ”
Lou Jingwen nodded calmly, "Audition Wu Jian." ”
Liu Haofei pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, "What a coincidence, so am I." ”
Lou Jingwen couldn't help laughing.
Isn't this nonsense? Which one came today who didn't audition for Wu Jian?
"Come with me, two of you."
Because the two arrived together and they seemed to know each other, the staff who led the way took the two of them to the waiting room.
After Lou Jingwen arrived at the waiting room, he found that the others had not yet come, and after finding a place to sit at random, Liu Haofei also sat next to him.
Liu Haofei was introduced by investors, and he is now very popular, and investors intend to let him join to drive some young audiences.
But he never expected that Lou Jingwen, a little newcomer, would be able to audition.
So who introduced him here?
Liu Haofei's head immediately flashed several candidates.
Young Master He or Director Li?
However, listening to Tang Xiaoling's meaning, Lou Jingwen actually had dinner with He Shao just by accident, so he said...... Was he recommended by Director Li?
Thinking of Director Li's pretending to be confused that night, Liu Haofei felt a little unhappy.
Director Li is too partial to Lou Jingwen, and he doesn't think about himself for this kind of good thing.
Liu Haofei looked at Lou Jingwen's eyes a lot colder, and then casually found a topic that was not salty or light, and chatted.
The two waited for about ten minutes, and within the time specified for the audition, the rest of the actors finally arrived one after another.
Lou Jingwen glanced at it, and added himself to a total of five. Except for himself and Liu Haofei, the other three are all actors who have had some very popular ancient puppets before.
In this world of face-watching, unless it is an orthodox drama that uses all old drama bones, it will generally have some idol colors, so in addition to the strength of the acting school, the configuration of the crew will also use some small fresh meat and old bacon with good acting skills to attract female fans.
Looking at this candidate lineup, Lou Jingwen guessed that Director Wu probably planned to do the same.
Soon, the staff took the cards and asked everyone to draw lots to determine the order.
Another female staff member smiled and said, "Several teachers have been waiting for a long time, thank you very much for coming to the audition site of Wu Jian in "Dynasty". ”
"Presumably all the teachers have seen the previous audition lines, due to the negligence of the screenwriter, the specific content has not been posted, so I have to wronged the teachers today, and the audition scene will be sent to you ten minutes before the audition. The preparation time may be a little tight, so please forgive me. ”
Hearing this, a little dissatisfaction flashed in the eyes of many people.
Immediately, a few people in their thirties and more senior people began to complain.
"Is this a memory test?"
"Wouldn't someone like me with a bad memory just pull me down?"
The staff smiled and apologized softly.
However, complaining is complaining, even if they know that it is an excuse, no actor dares to give up, and if they want to use the work to become popular, they can only wait obediently.
Lou Jingwen sat in his place with a calm face and closed his eyes to recuperate, compared to the anxiety of others, he seemed extremely calm.
In fact, he had already guessed that this would be the kind of audition.
