Chapter 175: Audition (Part II)
In the studio, the audition for "Painted Skin" is underway, and now the audition is for the role of Demon Fox Xiaowei.
Lin Yuquan stood in front of the camera and looked at the four people in exquisite costumes in the lens very seriously, from hair, to eyes, to face, to figure, almost not letting go of any part of the four people, because in his opinion, the demon fox Xiaowei is definitely the most important role in the film, this person is too crucial, there is no room for mistakes, no matter how serious it is, it can't be too serious.
The four people who auditioned for the role of Xiao Wei, Zhou Xun, Zhang Ziyi, Fan Binbin, and Cheng Hao, the four who were already beautiful, were set off by Lin Yuquan's beautiful costumes carefully selected in the memories of cultivators, and the ancient costumes were even more amazing, and the four of them had their own beauty, Zhou Xun's charm inadvertently revealed in his calmness, Zhang Ziyi's dignified intertwined sexiness, Fan Binbin's true colors were radiant, and Cheng Hao's unique style was all kinds of styles, everyone was so beautiful, and when the four stood side by side, the feeling of pleasing to the eye became more and more intense.
Among them, Fan Binbin, the tallest, has the best figure, and the same costume looks more slender and symmetrical when worn on the body, while Zhou Xun, who is only 1.61 meters and has a thin body, suffers slightly in terms of figure, and his appearance is not so prominent compared with others, Lin Yuquan was worried that her figure could not control the ancient costume, but the fact is that Zhou Xun has a unique charm on her body, of course, Zhou Xun's biggest advantage is that her sense of storage under the camera is the strongest among the four, she is like a strong magnet, naturally: However, everyone's eyes were attracted like iron filings.
His eyes wandered around the four of them, and he secretly compared them, first in terms of ancient costumes. Lin Yuquan was very satisfied. All four of them have the basic appearance conditions to play Xiao Wei. There's nothing to fault about, it's the performance that follows that counts.
"Everyone has read the script before, you each perform two scenes, one who comes first?"
The two scenes selected by Lin Yuquan, one is Xiao Wei and Wang Sheng's entanglement, and the other is the pain when Xiao Wei finally understands Wang Sheng's love for his wife Chen, the scene can be described as completely different, one wants to show Xiao Wei's charming style. To show the ultimate temptation, one is to express Xiao Wei's heart-wrenching infatuation, which is very difficult, and these two scenes, or Xiao Wei's two different temperaments, are also Xiao Wei's most impressive image in the film, and only by playing these two well can Xiao Wei live.
"I'll do it first!" Zhou Xun said unyieldingly, not afraid of the first performance, and in the process of walking a few steps forward, he adjusted his state as he walked, waiting to be separated from a few people. After she stood still, she said aloud, "I'm starting to perform." ”
This instantly. Lin Yuquan was shocked, staring at Zhou Xun in the camera, because just at the moment when he finished speaking, Zhou Xun's expression and temperament had become completely different, without any cohesion into the performance, under her interpretation, every look, every body twist, every soft word, it didn't seem to do much movement, but it gave people an extremely sexy and charming impact, provoking the instinctive reaction of human beings, and making people can't help but feel itchy.
is worthy of being a variety of elves, just for this performance, Lin Yuquan can't help but admire in his heart, Zhou Xun is really a stunner who provokes fire, it is simply charming to the bone, and He Liwen on the other side has already seen his eyes straight, as for Fan Binbin, Zhang Ziyi, and Cheng Hao, their faces have changed greatly, and they feel the great pressure brought by Zhou Xun's performance.
However, Lin Yuquan didn't have the heart to take care of those, he just watched Zhou Xun's performance intently, compared to those temptations, he cared about Zhou Xun's overall performance, and even because of Zhou Xun's outstanding appearance, he was already looking forward to the next scene of Zhou Xun's meeting.
If the ultimate sexy temptation is the first impression that Xiao Wei Xiao Wei brings to the audience, then this emotional scene of Xiao Wei's true feelings makes the demon fox also have a bit of humanity, and plays a role in sublimating the film, making "Painted Skin" no longer an ordinary demon subjugation.
The biggest test of this scene is how the actor presents the complex and delicate but incomparably pure, grief born of love.
He was looking forward to it.
"Whew." Zhou Xun exhaled softly, and finally ended the first scene, and the performance scene of the second scene that she figured out by herself flashed in her mind, and her temperament switched instantaneously again.
"I'm starting to perform the second part."
At this time, the others didn't seem to have recovered from her previous performance, only Lin Yuquan's eyes, who had been looking forward to it for a long time, became more and more focused.
Bang bang bang.
"The performance was fantastic." Lin Yuquan said with a laugh, without hesitating his applause, and then gave Zhou Xun a thumbs up, which did not happen when Wang Sheng auditioned for the role before.
Is it eccentric? No, not because Zhou Xun is his own family, nor because Zhou Xun is a beauty, in Lin Yuquan's opinion, this is entirely because Zhou Xun's performance is amazing, or in "Painted Skin", the demon fox Xiaowei is better than Wang Sheng in his own life, and when he meets Zhou Xun's passionate interpretation, it naturally overshadows Liu Ye and Chen Kun.
He Liwen and the two assistant directors also applauded warmly, and praised the two performances of the previous weekly news.
And the same applause, the other three women's mood is much more complicated, sincerely to your competitors applause, is a valuable spirit, but how many people can do it? Unless there is a huge difference, there is no desire to compete at all.
But the three girls are all the best among the young actresses in the entertainment industry, so naturally there is no such situation.
Therefore, the better the weekly news table, the heavier the hearts of the three of them became, and the so-called face had a heart, and the expression on their faces was certainly not very good.
Lin Yuquan took the eyes of the three into his eyes, what is the first to take the lead, this is, of course, Zhou Xun's first performance also has a huge risk, just in response to the sentence "the artist is bold", if his own strength is not good, it is stupid to choose to do this, a good actor will naturally be a smart actor, understand what kind of situation is most beneficial to him, Zhou Xun proved this very well.
After Zhou Xun returned to his original standing position, Lin Yuquan looked at the three of them with a smile: "Next, which of you will perform?" ”
"I'll do it!" Fan Binbin looked at the other two left and right, due to the influence of Zhou Xun's front. is far less confident than the last audition for "Red Cliff".
Lin Yuquan nodded. Watching Fan Binbin's performance next. Fan Binbin's ancient costume is really beautiful, which is her biggest advantage, but she has not really learned to act, but she has also fully exposed the flaws in her acting skills, Lin Yuquan can see that Fan Binbin is acting with her heart, but her performance is very pale, in vain, without her spirit, to put it simply. It's just not contagious.
Perhaps with her appearance, in the first scene, she was barely qualified, bringing a lively visual and sensory enjoyment, but in the second scene, the dry performance without emotional integration was really far from Lin Yunquan's expectations, and compared with the previous Zhou Xun, Lin Yuquan immediately excluded her from the choice.
Following Fan Binbin, Cheng Hao and Zhang Ziyi also finished performing one after another.
"Oh, that's good." Lin Yuquan smiled and applauded Zhang Ziyi, who had just finished the performance. Cheng Hao's performance is decent, not bad but not brilliant. And Zhang Ziyi's table xiàn made him satisfied, Zhang Ziyi had very fragrant scenes in "Memoirs of a Geisha" and "Night Banquet", so when performing the first scene, the table xiàn was comfortable and extremely fragrant, but in the second scene, it was slightly inferior to Zhou Xun.
"Thank you for coming to audition, and bring such a enjoyable performance, I believe that many people, men, are jealous that I can have such treatment, this is my honor, but it is a pity that I can only choose one of the four of you to play Xiao Wei, no matter how cruel the result is, I must act as the villain in the hearts of three of you, it is really not a good thing to be regarded as a wicked person by a beautiful woman, I just hope that you don't want to cooperate with me because of today's audition failure, even if you don't cooperate with me, it doesn't matter, Don't just refuse Shuguang Film Company, next, our Shuguang Film Company will start filming a series of film and television dramas, and there are many opportunities for cooperation in the future. ”
A smile appeared on the faces of the four of them, and the tension that had been tense during the competition was instantly eliminated a lot.
"Okay, I've delayed you a lot, you go back first, and I'll call you later when the results come out."
After sending a few people away, Lin Yuquan immediately came to He Liwen and the three.
"Judging from the auditions, I think Zhou Xun and Zhang Ziyi's expressions are the best, and they are each stronger than each other, which of them do you think is more suitable?"
"Indeed, the appearance of the two is obviously much stronger than the other Fan Binbin and Cheng Hao, just from the performance point of view, it seems difficult for the two to choose, but Zhang Ziyi not only looks and has a better figure, but her international influence is far above Zhouxun, I tend to choose her, which will make our film have greater commercial value." Assistant director Nie Fan said.
"If you think about it from a commercial point of view, I choose Zhang Ziyi, and if you start from the performance itself, I build yì Zhouxun, her performance is actually more delicate than Zhang Ziyi." Another assistant director, Shen Congdao.
Faced with the slightly different but extremely sensible opinions of the two, Lin Yuquan's thoughts were flying, and he carefully compared the two repeatedly in his mind, there is no doubt that both of them are excellent, no one can completely overwhelm the other, just like Shen Cong said, such a choice is like a trade-off, the difficulty is that no matter who chooses, you can get what you want, but there are regrets, it is difficult to take care of it perfectly.
But there is no absolute perfection in this world, and Lin Yuquan thinks about what he wants most.
On the whole, Zhang Ziyi should be the best choice, she is beautiful, has superb acting skills, and has the potential for international box office appeal, especially the potential for international box office appeal, if she is another director, such as Feng Xiaogang, didn't she choose her in "Night Banquet" because of this?
And Zhou Xun, as all the directors who have worked with her think, she is a natural actor, when she performed the second emotional scene, she fully proved this, and the performance was amazing, Lin Yuquan never doubted that Zhou Xun could not act well, the reason why he couldn't be sure whether Zhou Xun was the most suitable choice was actually nothing else, it was because of the worries brought by Zhou Xun's appearance and figure, and such worries now seem completely superfluous. It is said that there are two kinds of actors on and off the stage, Zhou Xun is an obvious example, she controls the ancient costume and skirt very well, and after makeup, she is no less amazing in the camera than a few people.
Compared with the two, Zhang Ziyi's most advantageous point is her international box office appeal potential, but the box office appeal potential of actresses is not as good as that of male stars, and she previously starred in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Hero" in the global box office market. Whether or not the investment can be recouped is a question.
And Zhang Ziyi has already performed in "Memoirs of a Geisha" and "Night Banquet" in a row, comparing the "Memoirs of a Geisha" that I went to Los Angeles to see last time with Yifei and the audition just now, her performance in this kind of scene is basically the same, forming an inherent routine, so that on a large scale, her role as Xiao Wei will make the audience have aesthetic fatigue, resulting in the effect of needing to be extremely stunning but not amazing.
The most important thing is that he is going to shoot "Painted Skin", in which the emotional scenes occupy a crucial role, and in this regard, Zhou Xun's interpretation dwarfs several others.
Thinking about it this way, Lin Yuquan has already made a decision, and if this is the case, it is still a little regrettable, then in the end, Zhou Xun's identity has become the ultimate weight to determine the outcome of the victory.
"If Zhou Xun were an artist of our Rain Spring family, who would you choose?"
The three of them, who were thinking hard, suddenly turned their heads, their eyes widened, and they looked at Lin Yuquan in disbelief.
"That's right, Zhou Xun is an artist of our Yuquan family, but he hasn't officially signed a contract and announced it to the public." Lin Yuquan said with a smile.
"Whew." The three of them took a deep breath, and He Liwen spread his hands: "Boss, since this is the case, of course there will be no better choice." ”
"Then it was decided, notify the next group of Chan's auditions." (To be continued......)
ps: The first watch will be delivered, the second watch will be delivered at about 7 o'clock in the evening, one more every day these days, I'm sorry, and I didn't want to ink too much on the audition, but if I don't write, it's too perfunctory, please forgive me, rest assured, the next chapter will be over.
