The audition for the "Myth" crew was arranged in the conference room of the signal flag, and the entire conference room was rearranged for the audition, and now the furnishings inside are very simple, with three desks stacked with the actors' materials and a few chairs next to them.

Behind the desk sat Cheng Peng, Zhao Linlin, and Zhang Meng, who were the hosts of this audition.

There was also a video camera next to them, and Chen Shaoping was in charge of photography. The casting of an actor is a very detailed process, and it is not enough to rely on interviews, especially for some important roles, which require repeated viewing of videos to determine specific candidates.

"Let's start the audition!" Cheng Peng said to Zhang Meng and Zhao Linlin, and then looked up and said to the assistant standing aside, "Call the actors who are interviewing to come in!" ”

The first to come in was Huang Xiaoming, he was the first choice for the actor in Cheng Peng's heart, and he was also the one who notified the audition, so he came the earliest.

Although Huang Xiaoming and Cheng Peng are fellow countrymen and friends, he still didn't dare to be careless on this occasion, and made full preparations before coming. He knew that Yi Xiaochuan's character was a general of Great Qin in his previous life and must be masculine, so he wore a dress that could show off his figure.

The whole person looks strong, masculine, and full of manliness.

Huang Xiaoming didn't say hello to Cheng Peng, and sat up very formally to introduce himself: "Hello everyone, I am Huang Xiaoming, 180 cm tall and 65 kg in weight, I am a professional actor, I have starred in many TV series including "The Son of Heaven", and I have also starred in many movies including "Bright Heart". That's it for me, thank you! ”

Cheng Peng nodded, Huang Xiaoming deserves to be an old Jianghu, the whole self-introduction, the content is clear, the time is appropriate, and he always keeps a smile, giving people a good impression.

The self-introduction of the audition is very particular, and if the actor has read the script, then the tone and tone of speech should best match the requirements of the role. If you introduce it as you usually speak, you will basically be unqualified in the eyes of the director. If you haven't read the script, then you should try to show your strengths.

And the time of self-introduction is also particular, it is best to control it to 30 seconds, too little will not be able to play the expression, and too much will have the opposite effect of making people feel noisy.

Under normal circumstances, after introducing themselves, the actor will be asked to turn in a circle, observe the actor's front and side faces, and observe whether the actor's body is defective.

No, Cheng Peng is too familiar with Huang Xiaoming. Not at all. Ask the assistant to hand Huang Xiaoming a page of information. Directly start the formal content: "You have the character analysis of Yi Xiaochuan in your hand, please make an impromptu performance according to the character's personality, give you 3 minutes to prepare, and the performance time is controlled at about 2 minutes." ”

Different directors have different requirements for auditions. The content of the audition is therefore also different. Cheng Peng hopes to use this improvisational performance to examine the imagination and creativity of the actors, and at the same time to show their understanding, which are the qualities that a good actor must have.

Huang Xiaoming graduated from the film academy, and has been filming for several years, he is a very professional actor, hearing Cheng Peng's request, he immediately checked Yi Xiaochuan's personality information, and then conceived the content of the performance.

Many people know the general plot of "Myth", and of course Huang Xiaoming knows it. Based on Yi Xiaochuan's character, he designed the scene when Yi Xiaochuan met Yushu after entering the Heavenly Palace.

Huang Xiaoming grabbed the non-existent Yushu, his body trembled slightly, and his face was extremely shocked and joyful, vividly expressing Yi Xiaochuan's heart at that time.

The plot of the whole show is quite well designed. The character's personality is revealed, and the character's inner emotions are also well controlled, the only drawback is that his performance is slightly exaggerated.

Cheng Peng nodded, asked the assistant to hand the second piece of information to Huang Xiaoming, and said, "There are some fragments of the script in it, you choose one section to perform, and the preparation time is three minutes!" ”

Huang Xiaoming took the information and flipped through it, showing a puzzled look, and glanced at Cheng Peng, but he also knew that different directors had different audition methods, maybe this was Cheng Peng who made himself empathize and immediately figured out how to perform.

Three minutes later, Huang Xiaoming put down the script, raised his head slightly, and showed a poignant and sad expression: "Are you really not Meng Yi?" ”

Cheng Peng, Zhang Meng and Zhao Linlin were all dumbfounded, what is this guy doing, Yi Xiaochuan is not acting, but playing Yushu? Is it good that Yushu is a woman! "Myth" is a love that spans thousands of years, not a relationship that spans thousands of years!

Huang Xiaoming shook his head, looked at Yi Xiaochuan, who didn't exist, tears appeared in his eyes, and said sadly: "No, you are not Meng Yi, you are not Meng Yi!" ”

Zhao Linlin couldn't hold back a smile, lowered her voice and asked, "Why did he play Yushu?" ”

Cheng Peng glanced at the assistant who was a little at a loss, and guessed what was going on: "It should be the wrong line, but look at it, don't say it, he acted really well!" ”

"You're not Meng Yi, I'm ...... I'm not leaving, I'm going to wait for Meng Yi to come back! Huang Xiaoming's expression was sad and desperate, his voice trembled a little, and he shook his hand vigorously, as if he was shaking off Yi Xiaochuan's hand, "No, he didn't die!" I'm going to wait for him to come back! ”

After Huang Xiaoming's performance, Zhao Linlin couldn't hold back any longer, and lay on the table, laughing wildly while pounding the table.

Cheng Peng also laughed: "Xiao Ming, Zhang Jizhong shouldn't have asked you to play Yang Guo, he should have asked you to play Dongfang Undefeated, your actions, your eyes are too expressive!" Dongfang Undefeated is the leader of the Sun and Moon God Sect, you will not lose to him at all, I will call you the Yellow Sect Leader in the future! ”

If it were usual, Huang Xiaoming would definitely say, you are jealous, jealous that I am more handsome than you, but now he can only stand in place and laugh, waiting for the evaluation.

Cheng Peng glared at the assistant next to him and said, "What the hell, you can get the wrong lines, hurry up and get the correct lines!" ”

Only then did Huang Xiaoming know that he had taken the wrong line, and he couldn't laugh or cry. After he got the correct lines, he chose the same scene, of course, this time he played Yi Xiaochuan.

After Huang Xiaoming's performance, Zhang Meng and Zhao Linlin both nodded slightly, feeling satisfied, and Cheng Peng also felt good.

Huang Xiaoming's audition ended here, but Cheng Peng didn't rush to let him go: "Xiaoming, don't go first, the next audition is the heroine, I need you to make a play!" ”

As he spoke, he looked up and said to the assistant, "Go and call Master Liu in!" ”

Master Liu is still the same, looking clean, pure white, a girl like a white lotus, but her eyes look firmer than before. Should have been practicing consistently.

Cheng Peng nodded at her and said officially: "Introduce yourself!" ”

"Good director, good Sister Linlin, good director Zhang, I'm Master Liu, 17 years old this year, I am a student at the Dance Academy, I like acting, I have been studying acting hard in the past few months, I hope to be able to make movies with you!"

Master Liu's self-introduction is much worse than Huang Xiaoming's. Especially the ending. Experienced auditioners don't say I hope you'll like me or want to work with you. Because this way of speaking seems very unconfident.

No, Cheng Peng didn't pay too much attention to these details, what he valued most in choosing actors was temperament, and the role of Yushu should have a pure and dusty temperament, like a quiet orchid in the empty valley. And this is the biggest advantage of Master Liu.

In fact, the role of Liu Shishi has been decided, but a few months have passed, and it is a question of how much Liu Shishi's acting skills have improved, so she was asked to audition, mainly to see how her current performance level is.

Cheng Peng stood up, pulled two chairs, placed them in the center of the room, looked at Huang Xiaoming, and then looked at Master Liu: "Master." Xiaoming, come here and sit on the chairs. ”

Master Liu sat down on the chair and remembered the situation when she was rehearsing for "Dark Invasion", although she had done some training at that time. But the acting is not too good, this time she believes that she will be able to act very well.

Because she has been training desperately for the past few months.

Cheng Peng looked at the two, clapped his hands, and said: "Before movies start filming, they often organize actors to communicate, and now you are communicating here." Xiaoming is a big star, and the teacher may have some understanding of Xiaoming, but Xiaoming definitely doesn't know anything about the teacher, so the next exchange was carried out in a special way. Master, you can only say four words 'En', 'I don't know', 'I'm sorry', 'Thank you', and what you have to do is to ask Shishi to say anything beyond these four sentences! ”

Speaking of this, Cheng Peng paused and said, "Okay, let's start now!" ”

Huang Xiaoming and Master Liu had never seen such a way of communication, and they thought it was a bit funny, so Huang Xiaoming spoke first as the questioner: "Are you calling Shishi right?" ”

"Yes!"

"This movie is a collaboration between the two of us, let's do it together!"

"Yes!"

"Master, have you watched my TV series before, do you like it?"

"Yes!"

"And which one do you like?"

Hearing this question, Master Liu was a little dumbfounded, she likes "The Son of Heaven", but how to answer? "En" is definitely not good, "I don't know" is not good, "thank you" and "sorry" are not right.

The eyes of everyone present were focused on Master Liu, wanting to see if she could solve this problem.

Master Liu was silent for two seconds, his face suddenly turned red, he glanced at Huang Xiaoming with some embarrassment, and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry!" ”

Zhang Meng and Zhao Linlin's eyes lit up, their shy expressions, and the sentence "I'm sorry", the whole meaning changed at once, Liu Shishi hadn't watched Huang Xiaoming's TV series, and began to say "En" completely to give Huang Xiaoming face, and didn't want him to be embarrassed, and when Huang Xiaoming continued to ask, she couldn't say it, so she could only apologize.

They immediately understood Cheng Peng's intentions, Master Liu could only speak four sentences, and many things could not be conveyed by words, so they could only be expressed through expressions, movements, and body language.

Cheng Peng nodded, although Master Liu's acting skills are still relatively tender, he already knows how to use expressions and movements to express different emotions, and it seems that he has really worked hard.

Huang Xiaoming was a little stunned, he didn't expect Master Liu to crack the trap he designed in this way, and nodded approvingly: "Master, I think you acted very well, have you ever studied acting?" ”

"Yes!"

"What school did you graduate from, film school?"

This question could not be answered in words, and Master Liu smiled and shook his head slightly.

"Which school is that?"

You can't say "En" on this question, it is impossible to say "I don't know", and it is impossible to say "thank you" and "I'm sorry", but after the difficulty just now, Master Liu has a complete bottom in his heart.

Master Liu stood up, stood on tiptoe, his arms spread out like a pair of floating wings, and his arms waved and jumped upward, like a swan dancing on the surface of a lake.

Hands up, tiptoe, start, every movement is perfect, she is a professional dancer, definitely from the dance academy!

……

Five minutes passed in a flash, and the two men continued to fight, unable to distinguish the winner. This result was a bit unexpected, it was too difficult to say only four sentences, and no one expected that Master Liu would be able to survive.

Cheng Peng was very satisfied with this, clapped his hands and said, "Very good, that's it." Master, you played very well! ”

A happy smile appeared on Master Liu's face, and months of training were not in vain: "Thank you, director!" ”

Cheng Peng smiled at Master Liu: "It seems that these can fulfill the original agreement and hand over the protagonist to you!" ”

Master Liu let out a cheer, excited that she could win this role, she had been studying hard for the past few months, and had been waiting for this day longer.

Cheng Peng waved his hand and said, "Don't be in a hurry to be happy, your performance is far from meeting my requirements." So next, you will be given special training, you may be thought of as crazy, you may be called a psychopath, maybe your roommates will laugh at you, do you have the courage to accept this challenge? ”

"I have!"

"Very good, I'll tell you how to do it when I try on makeup!"
