Chapter 36: Auditions
Soon after Wen Genying and her grandmother left, the number one boy was selected, and he was selected by a handsome little guy with good facial features and a charming smile. As soon as the selection of young actors was over, it was immediately the turn of the second female lead, and after more than an hour, a suitable actor was also selected, followed by the selection of the second male lead.
Eight of the actors who participated in the actor selection this time came to compete for the role of the second male number Han Tae-seok. Among them, there are not only young actors like Zhang Chengyuan, who are less than 20 years old and have no fame, but also senior actors who are nearly 30 years old and have been polished in the entertainment industry for many years. According to the order arranged by the staff, everyone went in for interviews in groups of two, and those who did not have their turn waited outside. Maybe there is a competitive relationship with each other, or maybe it's not in the mood to make friends at this time, everyone does their own thing and doesn't pay much attention to other people.
is in the same group as Zhang Chengyuan, who is also a handsome guy with good looks and temperament, except for Zhang Chengyuan, no one present can be better than him or comparable to him. Zhang Chengyuan thought to himself that this person was probably his biggest competitor in this audition, and it could even be said that he was the only competitor.
It's no wonder that the crew arranged this person and Zhang Chengyuan in the same group, obviously wanting to let the two actors with the best conditions compete on the same stage, and then decide the winner who is the last.
Zhang Chengyuan thought about it while unconsciously looking at the handsome guy. The handsome guy was a little uncomfortable by him, and he calmed down, and then asked politely, "Hello, is there anything wrong?" ”
Zhang Chengyuan realized that he was rude, and hurriedly apologized: "I lost my temper just now." Hello senior, I just think you're familiar. To be honest, Zhang Chengyuan rarely watches TV or newspapers, and he is very lonely and unheard, and he has never seen this handsome guy at all.
"You're also quite familiar, it seems that you are the one who shot a ramen advertisement with Zhang Dongjian's seniors." The handsome guy seemed to be very happy, and he was polite.
"Exactly, my name is Zhang Chengyuan, and I just debuted last year."
"I'm Yuan Bin, my real name is Jin Daozhen, I debuted in 97, it looks like you should be a few years younger than me, call me Brother Daozhen in the future."
……
Men are sometimes very strange, they can call each other brothers and sisters when they look at each other and say a few words, and they can even become good friends right away, which is the case with Yuan Bin and Zhang Chengyuan now. The two talked happily, and before they knew it, a long time had passed, and it was their turn to go in for an interview.
Under the reminder of the staff, the two stopped talking, looked at each other and smiled, and began to adjust their emotions to prepare for the next audition.
Entering the room, there were several middle-aged people sitting inside, both men and women, guessing that they should be the backbone members of the crew, directors, producers, screenwriters and others. Yuan Bin and Zhang Chengyuan stood side by side and bowed down to say hello at the same time, and then stood upright and quietly waited for the director and others to ask. The two are handsome and have excellent temperaments, and it is almost indistinguishable from each other, but Zhang Chengyuan is taller, about half a head taller than Yuan Bin, and it is more prominent when he looks at it.
Seeing these two people, the director, screenwriter and others secretly applauded in their hearts, and immediately forgot about the other people who had auditioned before, and they all felt that if they only looked at their appearance, which of the two would play the role of the male number two Han Tae-seok was competent enough, and then it would be up to the two to see which of the two had better acting skills, or who was more suitable for the role of Han Tae-suk.
The director said: "Let's start the performance according to the first scene given in the script, Yuan Bin, you can come first when you are older." ”
The first scene in the script tells the story: After the male number one Yoon Jun-hee and the female number one Choi Eun-hee eloped, the male number two Han Tae-seok, who was Choi Eun-hee's nominal boyfriend, searched hard but couldn't find anyone, sad and desperate, drunk alone in the room, unable to suppress his emotions, called Choi Eun-hee, did not get through, could only talk to himself, and was sad alone.
Yuan Bin walked to a coffee table in the room and sat down, facing everyone, closed his eyes and brewed his feelings, suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes seemed to be drunk, he raised his hand to make a phone call, and said, "Eunxi, come back quickly, I'm still waiting for you." The sound was intermittent and mournful, which immediately aroused the emotions of the people around him, and he became sad unconsciously.
Immediately afterwards, Yuan Bin was stunned for a while, his expression could not hide the pain, and the tears hidden in his eyes were almost about to fall, with his handsome face, he would definitely move most women to tears.
Slowly, Yuan Bin's expression changed, and it seemed to be mixed with some anger in grief, and he suddenly said angrily: "Ah! Choi Eun-hee, hurry up and come back to me, you don't want to live anymore, do you? I really want to kill you? His voice was a little higher, and he was clearly angry, and from his voice and expression, he could tell that he was reluctant to blame Choi Eun-hee for abandoning him at all.
"Eun-hee, Eun-hee......" He kept calling the name, and his feelings gradually intensified, both sad and longing, longing for Choi Eun-hee to return to him immediately.
"Hey! You speak, I have something to tell you...... I'm not done with what I'm going to say, I'm ...... I'm not done yet. I love you, Eun-hee! "It seems that he is really drunk, and his words are becoming more and more confused, and only the last sentence is very clear and very touching. As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Bin's body immediately collapsed on the coffee table.
The room was silent for a long time before the director applauded and applauded: "Good, good, it's really exciting!" Surprisingly exciting, this role will be handed over to ......" Before the words fell, the screenwriter immediately gently pushed him and swept Zhang Chengyuan with his eyes, and the director remembered that there was another actor who was going to audition on the scene, so he hurriedly coughed a few times and changed the topic: "Well, Yuanbin, you rest first, Chengyuan, now it's your turn to perform, you perform the second scene." ”
The second scenario is about Choi Eun-hee's cancer, and Han Tae-seok told her five things that made her reluctant to leave the world in order to strengthen her will to live, and asked her to survive. When she heard Choi Eun-hee say that another good thing that could keep her alive was Han Tae-seok, Han Tae-seok was very moved and said that she was very satisfied now.
After watching Won Bin's performance, Zhang Chengyuan knew that he was definitely going to lose this time, because when he figured out the role before, he couldn't deeply understand what kind of feelings the male number two Han Tae-seok had in these two scenarios. After seeing the deep affection contained in Yuan Bin's performance, he realized that this is what the real love between men and women looks like, and he has never experienced the taste of love, and he has never carefully observed how lovers get along with each other in life, so that now it is very difficult to show the inner world of the second male number one.
After knowing the reason, Zhang Chengyuan suddenly brightened up, and at the same time felt a little regretful: this audition was doomed to fail without comparison. It's just that he has always been a person and will never give up halfway, so although he knows that he will definitely lose at this time, he still has to try once. And, in any case, this audition is also an opportunity to hone your acting skills.
Jang Sung-won sat on a chair and turned sideways, as if there was Choi Eun-hee sitting next to him, and he wanted to talk to her. He settled down and opened his mouth to read the lines: "We have to think about the good side ......" He remembered the lines very firmly and read them very smoothly, with occasional pauses and pauses, and the tone of his voice went up and down, also to match the emotional fluctuations in the words. At this point, he behaved very well and almost perfectly, showing excellent ability to speak lines.
It's just that the next performance is a little unsatisfactory, and it is much inferior to Yuan Bin's affectionate interpretation.
He reads, "...... Now you have to listen to me...... You have to live...... You can't lose, you have to live......" tears flashed in his eyes, but unfortunately his eyes were not quite right, as if he was more reluctant and confused than deep love.
After a pause, as if waiting for Cui Eunxi to finish speaking, the expression on Zhang Chengyuan's face was very moved, he leaned forward, and the void hugged Cui Eunxi, who existed in his imagination, and continued: "Xie Lu, thank you...... I'm satisfied, so that's it...... I'm really satisfied. As he spoke, tears flowed uncontrollably.
At first glance, Zhang Chengyuan's performance is really good, his imagination and feelings are rich, and the tears are also unambiguous, but it doesn't feel like he is comforting and encouraging the woman he loves, but like saying goodbye to his relatives, and because he interprets this feeling too deeply and vividly, it makes people feel even more awkward.
The director, screenwriter, and others glanced at each other and shook their heads at the same time.
After looking at Zhang Chengyuan's profile again, the director asked: "Zhang Chengyuan, you are only 19 years old this year, you shouldn't have been in love yet, right?" ”
Zhang Chengyuan nodded: "Yes." ”
Director: "Maybe that's why you can't play to your strengths. In fact, your acting skills are very good, and if it weren't for the infatuated role of Han Tae-seok, you would definitely be able to do it. As a senior, I give you a piece of advice. Love is the main theme of almost every TV series, for your future acting career, you'd better fall in love first, the deeper the better, which will be of considerable help to your acting skills. ”
Zhang Chengyuan bowed and said, "Xie Lu Xie senior's guidance, I will do it." In fact, he is already aware of his shortcomings, so he will do the same without being reminded by the director.
Next, the role of Han Tae-seok will be confirmed to be played by Won Bin. Zhang Chengyuan was about to leave the room, when the director suddenly stopped him and asked, "We have a small role that we haven't selected someone to play yet, I wonder if you are interested?" ”
