The results of the audition are generally discussed by several people who preside over the audition, a list is reached, and then the results are announced.

So Li Jiongkai didn't say anything, nodded formulaically, and said: "The audition ends everywhere, and we will notify you as soon as the results come out, please wait for our notice!" ”

Cheng Peng was a little disappointed with his performance, but the audition was over, and it was impossible to repeat it, a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes, but he still smiled lightly at the three interviewers, and said, "Three seniors, then I will leave!" With that, he turned and left.

At the moment when Cheng Peng walked out of the room, Li Jiongkai turned his head and asked Hong Jingbao next to him: "Brother Sanmao, what do you think of this Cheng Peng's performance?" ”

Hong Jingbao, who was sitting in a precarious position, nodded and said, "A good performance should include three aspects, the character's surname and tone, action design, and the handling of lines." This young man acted well, the character's surname came out, the action design was reasonable, the handling of the lines was particularly good, the pronunciation, rhythm, and pause were handled very appropriately, and the best thing was that he added a 'En' at the end, and this 'En' was added very well, becoming the flashpoint of the character's emotions, and it broke out at once, very strong, and had a strong explosiveness. ”

Li Jiongkai nodded and said: "His line skills are really good, his expression and demeanor are good, but the acting is a bit tight, not exaggerated enough, but he is also the best acting at present." Of course, Wu Jialong is also very good, the two have their own advantages, it seems that they have to think carefully about who to choose. ”

The producer next to him said: "I think Wu Jialong is better, his temperament is better, this temperament is related to the education received, and Cheng Peng obviously lacks this temperament." ”

Hong Jingbao is more optimistic about Cheng Peng: "Wu Jialong has an arrogance, but arrogance alone is not enough, he lacks all the sharpness of a martial artist, and he does not have the feeling of a karate master at all, but Cheng Peng has the temperament of a martial artist, as for arrogance, Cheng Peng actually has it, but he is more restrained, his arrogance is in his bones, this is the real pride!" ”

The producer also thinks Cheng Peng is good, but it is not without reason that he is optimistic about Wu Jialong: "Wu Jialong is the son of Wu Yaohan after all, since he recommended him, we can't help but give this face, and it is more conducive to publicity, Brother Sanmao and his son, Wu Yaohan and his son, two pairs of father and son co-starred, which is also a good story in the film industry." ”

Hong Jingbao shook his head and said: "You can't say that, the publicity gimmick is very important, but the quality of our movie is ......" At this moment, another auditioner pushed the door in, and Hong Jingbao immediately closed his mouth.

It's a pity that Cheng Peng didn't hear this conversation, otherwise his mood would be much better. At this moment, he was depressed, his steps were very heavy, and his mind was a mess. I thought that with my acting skills, this kind of audition would definitely be easy to win, but I didn't expect it to be such a result.

Walking downstairs, Cheng Peng remembered that Huang Xiaoming called him after the audition was over, and wanted to invite himself to dinner, so he cheered up and dialed Huang Xiaoming's phone.

came to the private room and after a brief chat, Cheng Peng told him about the audition, and then expressed his doubts about the performance, wanting to hear Huang Xiaoming's opinion.

Huang Xiaoming smiled and comforted: "You think things are too complicated, there is no problem with your performance, how can you have so much time to analyze the characters and figure out the hearts of the characters in acting now!" Everyone is the same, don't think so much, you will definitely be able to pass, I am optimistic about you. ”

"How can you do it if you don't think about the characters carefully? The characters played in this way will be superficial, easy to overkill, and awkward to act! ”

Huang Xiaoming said with a smile: "It's right to go overboard, it's all over-the-top, it's crazy, this is the characteristic of Xiangjiang movies, not to mention that this is a kung fu comedy, with contrived expressions and exaggerated movements, so that it can have a comedic effect." ”

"I used to act like this, but now I feel that this kind of performance is fake, and I don't feel like acting. Robert De Niro said, I just can't play a fake play, I know that the film is an illusion, maybe the first rule of an actor is to pretend, but I can't do that, I need to deal with the personal experience of a character. I used to think that this was a pretense of profoundness, but now I realize that it is really like this. ”

Huang Xiaoming was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Cheng Peng with some surprise, he didn't expect Cheng Peng to pull out Robert De Niro's words.

This situation is like Lu Xun writing "There are two trees in front of my house, one is a jujube tree, and the other is also a jujube tree", because Lu Xun wrote it, everyone feels profound, feels awesome, and will have various interpretations; If ordinary people dared to write like this, it would definitely be considered nonsense.

Huang Xiaoming couldn't tell whether Cheng Peng was joking or pretending to be profound, and said with a smile: "The problem is that Robert De Niro is facing Martin Scorsese, not the director of Xiangjiang Films." Different directors have different requirements for actors, have you heard of Hitchcock's sentence, actors are animals. As an actor, it is definitely not wrong to act according to what the director says, they can act how they want us to act, they want this style, then we will act like this. ”

He is also a graduate of the film school, and he has learned a lot of film theory, and he still has two book bags to hang. If you can pull Robert De Niro, I can pull Hitchcock.

Cheng Peng feels that Huang Xiaoming's words have some truth, but they are not entirely right, it is undeniable that Hitchcock is a real master in grasping the plot and using the camera, but he has not created many classic characters in character building. Recall, what kind of unique, vivid and close-to-life characters he left behind? Hardly. An actor who just wants to be a pawn in the hands of the director, how can he become a top actor? Huang Xiaoming will be a top star in the future, but hasn't his acting skills been criticized?

Huang Xiaoming saw that Cheng Peng was silent, picked up his wine glass, and said: "Don't think so much, when the time comes, you will act how the director tells you to act, in a word, listen to the director!" Come on, come on, drink one! ”

I couldn't discuss anything with Huang Xiaoming, so let's take my time, Cheng Peng picked up his glass: "Okay, have a drink!" ”

Three days later, Cheng Peng received a notice from the crew of "Longwei Father and Son" that he would play the role of Zheng Fuqiang in the play, which made him greatly relieved. He came to the resort and signed a contract with the crew, with a salary of 40,000 yuan.

The main scene of "Longwei Father and Son" will be completed in a scenic spot near the resort, so the resort is the station of the crew, and now Cheng Peng is a contracted actor of the crew, so he is naturally qualified to live in the resort, so Cheng Peng moved out of the small hotel and lived in the room provided by the crew.

After settling down, Cheng Peng came to Huang Xiaoming's door and knocked on his door.

Huang Xiaoming was stunned when he saw Cheng Peng, and immediately understood what was going on, punched Cheng Peng in the shoulder, and said with a smile: "I'll just say you're okay, you kid was still sad at the time!" ”

Cheng Peng smiled: "No way, people are handsome because of such an advantage!" ”

Huang Xiaoming rolled his eyes, revealing a look of contempt and said: "In front of this handsome guy, it's best not to mention the word 'handsome', because I was born for this word, and this word is synonymous with me!" ”

Cheng Peng gave Huang Xiaoming a thumbs up, then quickly flipped it over, and his thumbs down: "I'll go, the word 'narcissism' is born for you." ”

Huang Xiaoming knew that Cheng Peng had just moved in, and he hadn't seen the director yet, nor had he seen the other actors in the crew, and after laughing a few words, he suggested: "You go to see the director first, and after meeting the director, I'll take you to meet the other actors in the crew." ”

"Okay, then I'll go see the director first!" This is basic courtesy, you have to go, Cheng Peng nodded and walked towards the director's room.

After knocking on the door and entering, I saw director Li Jiongkai and Hong Jingbao sitting in the room drinking kung fu tea, Cheng Peng bowed to the two and said hello: "Hello director, good senior Hong, I didn't disturb you, right?" ”

Hong Jingbao nodded at Cheng Peng and continued to drink his own tea; And director Li Jiongkai was much more enthusiastic, beckoning to Cheng Peng, and said: "We are drinking tea, just in time, look at the tea I brewed." ”

"Director, you are working tea, I heard that you are very particular about brewing and drinking, I am a rough person, and I don't know the doorway here, don't laugh at me!" Cheng Peng walked to the coffee table, took the teacup from the director's hand, and drank the water in the cup.

Drinking gongfu tea is very particular, you must first smell the fragrance of tea, and then look at the color of tea, and then swallow it slowly, but Cheng Peng has already said that he does not understand the doorway inside, and it is also interesting in Li Jiongkai's opinion: "Those who don't know are not strange, come, sit down and drink tea with us for a while!" ”

Cheng Peng said very apologetically: "I want to accompany the two seniors to have tea, but Xiaoming is still waiting for me outside, saying that he will take me to meet the other actors in the crew, everyone knows each other, so the cooperation is more harmonious." ”

Li Jiongkai smiled when he heard this: "You young people are lively and active, it's hard for you to stay here and drink tea." Okay, there you go! ”

"I must read the script carefully, act the movie well, and definitely live up to the director's expectations."

"To be honest, I think you and Wu Jialong have their own advantages, and the producer is more optimistic about Wu Jialong, if it weren't for Brother Sanmao to speak for you, this role would definitely be Wu Jialong's, don't let us down!"

Cheng Peng didn't know who Brother Sanmao was, and he couldn't remember when he knew a person named Sanmao, the deceased writer Sanmao He knew, and he also knew "Sanmao Wandering", but he couldn't remember when he knew a Brother Sanmao, and asked curiously: "Director, I don't know which predecessor this Brother Sanmao you are talking about?" The next time I see him, I'll thank him in person! ”

Li Jiongkai was stunned, and then laughed: "Brother Sanmao, I didn't expect that there are still people who don't know your name!" ”

Hong Jingbao couldn't help but wonder: "Now everyone calls me big brother, only you old people still call me Brother Sanmao!" ”

Cheng Peng scratched his head embarrassedly, he really didn't know that Brother Sanmao was Hong Jingbao. However, he was a little surprised, during the performance, Hong Jingbao looked indifferent and did not react at all, and Hong Jingbao has directed many movies, and the standard is quite high, Cheng Peng naturally thinks that his performance is unqualified in the eyes of Hong Jingbao, but he didn't expect Hong Jingbao not only to be optimistic about himself, but also to say a lot for himself, and quickly bowed to Hong Jingbao: "Thank you, senior Hong, thank you!" ”

Hong Jingbao said lightly: "Don't call me a senior, it sounds like seventy or eighty, I'm not that old." Everyone calls me big brother, you can call me big brother too! ”

"Yes, thank you Brother Hong Jingbao, thank you Brother Hong Jingbao!"

"I saw that you were good at acting and acting well, so I said a few words in passing, you just have to act well. That's it, you go about it! ”

"Director, Brother Hong Jingbao, you are busy, I'll go first!"
