Chapter 837: Finding the Original Intention
After watching He Chenxi's first two scenes, Director Lin couldn't find any fault, and could only say that she performed the role perfectly. But because of this, he was even more worried.
Because the first two images are too perfect, if there is even a little flaw in the final highlight of the event, it will be infinitely magnified.
He Chenxi was still full of confidence, she nodded vigorously, signaling that she could move on to the final event.
He Chenxi, who was born in a famous family, was sold into an official prostitute, and in order to protect her young brother, she has been gritting her teeth and enduring all kinds of torture.
However, the physical pain did not crush He Chenxi, but only inspired her fighting spirit even more, making her determined to take revenge.
The sudden blackening of the character is the most difficult place for the actor. Because the personality of the original character will change completely, as if it has become another character.
The expression on He Chenxi's face on the stage changed dramatically again. She had been holding back, and finally showed her fangs.
Cold, cruel, and completely different from the pitiful eldest lady before. This sense of disparity was perfectly interpreted by He Chenxi. She will do whatever it takes to survive and take revenge, and even kills the kind-hearted heroine.
In the final scene, He Chenxi holds a dagger and chases the heroine who keeps fleeing. Her roar is full of anger and despair, perfectly interpreting the character's contradictions.
was knocked down by the heroine who was forced to fight back, and He Chenxi fell to the ground. Her eyes were full of hatred and unwillingness, as well as lamentation about her miserable experience.
At the end of the last scene, everyone in the audience fell silent. At this moment, it seems that they are not acting on stage, but they have witnessed the miserable life of the female number two.
Director Lin stood up from his chair and clapped his palms first. He Chenxi's interpretation of the role is perfect, so that he can't find a flaw. Especially the blackened scene at the end, whether it is him or the screenwriters around him, they all agree that He Chenxi has performed to the extreme, and it is like a role tailored for her.
After completing the performance, He Chenxi jumped out of the role he substituted. She couldn't help but blush when she saw everyone applauding her.
Looking at He Chenxi, Director Lin's expression became solemn again. He was not dissatisfied with He Chenxi's performance, but because she acted so well, the corresponding requirements for the heroine's acting skills must also be first-class. Otherwise, a supporting role with superb acting skills, but the protagonist's acting skills are average, and the strong contrast will cause the audience to have a strong sense of disobedience.
"I have to say, this role is like it's made for you. I can finally understand why you would rather give up the starring role and play this female number two. ”
In the face of Director Lin's praise, He Chenxi seemed very happy. She chose to be an actress in order to present the role perfectly to the audience.
"Still." Director Lin's words changed, and his face showed a touch of embarrassment, "All the auditions for the actresses have been completed, and compared with the second female lead you played, the gap is really too big." ”
He Chenxi immediately understood what Director Lin meant, the gap between the heroine and the second actress is too big, which will have a serious impact on the whole play.
Director Lin showed a look of embarrassment on his face and said, "If you can't find a suitable heroine, I hope you can give up this role and play the heroine instead." ”
He Chenxi shook her head, she has played many times, and this female number two is the most suitable one for her among all the roles she has participated in. She felt that this was an opportunity for her acting skills to break through again, and she didn't want to give up so easily.
Seeing He Chenxi's refusal, Director Lin's face became solemn. In all fairness, he didn't want He Chenxi to change roles. Her portrayal of her daughter is perfect, and there is no doubt that she will become a generation of classics. It's just that he, as a director, has to think about the whole play. The heroine's problem can't be solved, so he can't let He Chenxi officially participate in the second female lead.
He Chenxi also frowned, she knew Director Lin's difficulties. If you want to let yourself participate in the second female lead, you must find a heroine who matches your acting skills.
After thinking about it for a long time, He Chenxi's mind flashed, and she suddenly thought of a suitable person.
Zhou Fei, she is He Chenxi's good friend in the entertainment industry. Before He Chenxi became famous, they often communicated and learned together. In her heart, Zhou Fei's acting skills are only high or low compared to herself.
However, although she recognizes Zhou Fei's acting skills very much, her luck is much worse than herself. Although his acting skills are also excellent, he has never had a chance, and he has been playing a role with no role. Despite this, she still gained a group of fans with her superb acting skills.
Biting her lip, He Chenxi decided to recommend Zhou Fei to Director Lin, believing that there would be no problem with her playing the heroine.
"Director Lin, I have a suitable candidate, can you consider it."
"Oh, who is it?" Director Lin's eyes lit up, and with He Chenxi's status, the people she recommended must be not low-famous. Being able to have one more popular actor join is good for the whole play.
He Chenxi scratched her head, she said with some embarrassment, "Zhou Fei, is a friend of mine in the entertainment industry. Although she is not well-known, I can guarantee that her acting skills are absolutely fine. ”
He Chenxi's words made Director Lin's face show a touch of embarrassment. Not to mention Zhou Fei's acting skills, even he has never heard of Zhou Fei, let alone the audience, who has been in the film and television industry for many years. Allowing such an unknown actor to play the leading role will greatly reduce the attractiveness of the audience.
"I'm afraid it's a bit difficult, after all, let an actor who is not famous as the starring role, the audience may not accept it."
He Chenxi can also understand Director Lin's distress, but she doesn't want to give up the role of the second female easily. After hesitating for a long time, He Chenxi gritted his teeth and said, "It's better to let her try it first, if she can show the corresponding strength......"
Without waiting for He Chenxi to finish speaking, Director Lin shook his head in embarrassment, "It's not a matter of acting. Let an actor who is not famous play the leading role, which is not attractive enough to the audience. No matter how good her acting skills are, wouldn't it be in vain if she didn't have an audience? ”
He Chenxi's face showed a hint of hesitation, she knew that Director Lin had his own difficulties, but apart from Zhou Fei, she couldn't think of anyone who was suitable to play the heroine.
Biting her lip hard, He Chenxi made up her mind that she must persuade Director Lin to let him agree to Zhou Fei to play the heroine.
"Director Lin, what was your purpose as a director in the first place?" He Chenxi asked solemnly with a serious face.
Director Lin couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't expect He Chenxi to suddenly ask himself such a question, and subconsciously replied, "Then you need to talk about it?" Of course, I still do my best to make a work that satisfies the audience. ”
He Chenxi nodded and continued, "Since that's the case, then let Zhou Fei give it a try." I believe that if we can make a successful work, even if the actors are all newcomers, the audience will definitely cheer for it. Now, a good film is so rare. If we succeed, as long as there is an audience to see it, it will definitely spread ten, ten to hundred! ”
Faced with He Chenxi's words, Director Lin couldn't help but hesitate. In the more than ten years he has been a director, he has long forgotten the original pursuit. Ratings, box office, he has unconsciously shifted his attention completely to these two aspects. And he doesn't care so much about the quality of the work.
"You're such a special actor." The corners of Director Lin's mouth raised a wry smile, and the way he looked at He Chenxi had completely changed, "In my more than ten years of directorial career, I don't know when I forgot my original intention, and I have already taken the ratings and box office as everything. ”
He Chenxi smiled and said, "It's not too late to find your original intention now." ”
Director Lin also laughed, and he gave He Chenxi a thumbs up, "Okay, today I will give up my life to accompany the gentleman, and let Zhou Fei audition." Let the box office and ratings die, I hope to work with you to make a good work! ”
The two hit it off, and He Chenxi immediately notified Zhou Fei to come to audition. When she arrived at the scene, she was surprised when she heard that she was going to play the leading role.
Looking at He Chenxi suspiciously, Zhou Fei asked, "With your fame and acting skills, you are obviously more suitable for the heroine than me, why are you looking for me?" ”
He Chenxi and Director Lin glanced at each other and laughed at the same time.
"There's no reason, I just want to make a good work."
Zhou Fei glanced at He Chenxi with complicated eyes, didn't ask any more questions, and auditioned under the auspices of Director Lin.
As He Chenxi said, Zhou Fei's acting skills are first-class, and the heroine she plays is not inferior to He Chenxi's second female lead.
At Director Lin's mention, the two rehearsed the highlight on the spot, the scene in which the second female lead played by He Chenxi chased and killed Zhou Fei's heroine.
When he met Zhou Fei, He Chenxi had just acted. At that time, the two of them often got together to discuss acting, and now it seems to have become their most precious memory. In the rehearsal of this chase, the two seemed to have returned to the time when they had just entered the showbiz, exchanging acting skills with each other, while concentrating on interpreting the role, and interpreting the already wonderful drama more moving.
"It's not a loss, it's the person you recommended, and the acting skills really didn't say." Director Lin also did not hesitate to praise Zhou Fei's acting skills, "With the two of you participating, I'm afraid this drama will become the pinnacle of my directorial career." ”
The rest of the staff also agreed, although filming has not officially started, but just looking at the effect of rehearsals, it will be even more difficult to shoot works that surpass this drama in the future.
In this way, Director Lin finally made a decision, with Zhou Fei as the starring role, and He Chenxi as the second female lead.
