There is a saying in the market: Nortel has many stars, and Chinese opera has many actors.

Of course, this statement is not absolute, any art school has outstanding talents, and there are also mediocre performances, so it cannot be divided into one or the other.

For example, if you say that Nortel has no actors, Huang Bo, the bad uncle of the people, must be the first to jump out and be unconvinced.

If there are no stars in Chinese opera, and Tang Yan, who has played countless silly and sweet roles, and has never been able to get rid of this label, no one will definitely say that she is an acting school.

Shi Wen's habit of filming dramas is to do the details very well, be meticulous in props and costumes, refuse to cut out pictures on the green screen, and use real-life shooting as much as possible.

To put it simply, the money is spent on the play, not on the actors.

Relatively speaking, he appreciates the traditional academic acting skills of Chinese opera, which is to integrate his own personality into the role, the performance is smooth and natural, there is no trace, and his acting skills are perfect.

But this kind of performance also has a flaw, it is difficult to get out of your own character when you play anything.

"Food Lovers" is the first campus drama to be filmed by Noon Sunshine, and the male protagonist of this drama originally preferred Liu Haoran, but this little fresh meat didn't want to keep the label of "national school grass" and refused his invitation.

At present, the most popular traffic niches in China have been popular since the Korean group period, but they are not from a professional class, and their acting skills still need to be honed, and the asking price is extremely high, which will relatively reduce the cost of production, and is not the ideal candidate in his mind.

But now the male stars in China, except for some old drama bones, are basically the world of post-90s male stars, at least they are closer to the script in terms of age, and the difficulty in choosing is not too high.

On the contrary, it is the candidate for the female lead, which is even more worrying, and now the so-called little flowers are generally around eighty-five years old, most of them are nearly thirty years old, and it is difficult to shoot that youthful and vigorous campus feeling.

With the idea of giving it a try, he found his old friend Zhou Zhi, who taught in Chinese opera, to help, and the other party recommended him a lot of old cadres and actors with good reputation over the years to see if there were any more suitable students.

As a result, the candidate highly recommended by the other party was actually Chen Xiaoshen, who did not film well after graduating from Chinese opera, but went to become an Internet celebrity female anchor.

After all, as a drama director, he doesn't have much of a good impression of the anchor industry, and no matter how he thinks about it, he can't combine it with the thickness and accumulation of Chinese opera, although Zhou Zhi has always had a very poisonous vision, Shi Wen has reservations about the candidates he recommended this time.

But for the sake of his old friend's face, he still agreed to come down and give the newcomer a chance to audition.

Noon Sunshine Jingbei Company Headquarters.

Before the audition began, Shi Wen, the chief director of "Campus Lovers", was sitting in the office, eating a simple and hearty breakfast with the uninvited guest Zhou Zhi.

Seeing Shi Wen sweating like rain and eating with relish, Zhou Zhi silently peeled a tea egg and complained to him beside him: "Qingfeng buns, preserved eggs and lean porridge, eat so greasy in the morning, be careful that your cholesterol breaks through the sky." ”

Because they have been old friends for many years, they talk very casually, Shi Wen just smiled and said: "I'm used to it, I play in the crew, and sometimes I only eat in the afternoon when I am busy, and I must be full in the morning, otherwise it is very likely to have low blood sugar." ”

Zhou Zhi no longer dwelled on this topic, and asked, "How many people auditioned today?"

"Two girls, one is Song Yi named by the investor, who is the endorsement of their brand, which is equivalent to soft implantation, and her acting skills are good, originally I also liked her, after all, I have filmed several of my plays, but I am already twenty-eight or nine, and I feel that the persuasion of acting as a student is not good, with all due respect, the one you recommend may not have much chance. ”

"Actually, you can separate the teenage years from the young adult years, so that you can use two actors at the same time. Seeing him say this, Zhou Zhi knew that Chen Xiaoshen had little hope of playing the female number one, so he tried his best to find a compromise plan and fight for her.

"Generally, this method is used to praise newcomers, but I don't like to use it, unless it's childhood, otherwise the same character's juvenile and young age are played separately, and I am not satisfied with it, how can I be responsible for the audience?"

"Okay, okay, it's still reasonable for you stubborn cow, the time is almost up, I'll wait and see, and don't express any opinions. ”

Audition time.

The first to come in was Song Yi, and the request given by Shi Wen was to perform the heroine from a poor family, choose cheap vegetables in the vegetable market, and save money as much as possible.

I have to say that Song Yi's acting skills are still good.

In the case of a completely non-physical performance, she frowned, pursed her lips tightly, turned her back and quietly plucked some dead vegetable leaves, then turned to the non-existent vendor owner, and said sweetly:

"Big brother, you can help weigh how much this dish is. ”

"Five-dollar two, right? You can erase the odds for me, okay?"

After wiping the zeros, I didn't forget to pick up a garlic or something like that when I left, I was thrifty.

Shi Wen nodded, Song Yi was originally the best choice in his heart, and his acting skills were good, but he had been tepid for so many years, and he lacked a little luck.

Song Yi has already worked with him in several plays, and looking at his expression, he knew that he was most likely to play nine out of ten, so he smiled and bowed out.

Zhou Zhi had already seen the clues, and couldn't help but sweat for his beloved.

Shi Wen yawned, to be honest, he was not interested in the next audition, but because Zhou Zhi was still present, he just watched it patiently.

But when Chen Xiaoshen came in, he still found that his old friend's casting vision maintained the usual vicious level, this girl looked very pure and natural, with a white shirt and jeans, long black hair, a slender and weak figure, and a slender waist.

The pretty little face is full of girlishness, and her eyes are as clear as water, which is simply the appearance of the girl that most people had a crush on when they were young.

It is also an impromptu performance of grocery shopping.

Chen Xiaoshen first looked left and right, and after carefully selecting and choosing, he asked: "Uncle, there is only a little bit of this potato left, you can calculate it cheaper." ”

"Five dollars and three catties? Okay, then I'll be all round, please help me weigh it." ”

Although his acting skills are natural and introverted, he does not look particularly good compared to Song Yi, who has rich acting experience.

Shi Wen thought for a while, he had already got the adapted script, and remembered that there was a scene in it that was very similar to this girl's performance, so he asked: "Tell me, why is it that you are already very poor, and you still have to buy all the potato buns?"

"This is actually a scene in the novel, the heroine wants to save money, usually in the afternoon, a certain dish is sold almost, at this time the shopkeeper will be willing to clear the inventory, and the potatoes are rich in starch, more than other dishes, it is cheaper to buy more at one time. ”

"Well, you go back and wait for news. In all fairness, Chen Xiaoshen's familiarity with the original work and natural acting skills made Shi Wen a little unexpected, but it was not enough for him to make a decision to play her.

"Thank you, Director. After only trying one play and being hit back, Chen Xiaoshen was a little disappointed, but he still expressed his gratitude seriously and politely.

Zhou Zhi secretly sighed in his heart, and did not intend to continue to help her.

This circle is like this, you can't do it and you can act, and there are many invisible potential factors in it.

Chen Xiaoshen raised his head and glanced at him, and said, "Director, Mr. Zhou said before that he introduced my classmates to audition together, and he came over together today, do you need me to call him in now?"
