Chapter 36: Audition (Part II)

When he received a call from Huang Jin, saying that he wanted to recommend someone to audition, Director Chen was a little surprised. I thought that a small company had flexible means and went through Huang Jin's way.

Engaging in off-market tricks actually doesn't make him disdainful - he has been in the industry for so long, and he has seen even more roundabout ways, but at this time, there are only two days before the audition, and it is somewhat out of place to say that he wants to try.

If you get a new script, it's a question of whether you can familiarize yourself with the lines in two days, and how much can you prepare for the role?

If you don't know the situation, you can only bring shame on yourself.

However, in order to save face for Huang Jin, Director Chen still agreed to temporarily add a place. Anyway, it's just an audition, so it's up to you whether you use it or not.

From the beginning of the project, this film has attracted much attention in the industry. Even if Zhang Jingsheng's film has not been released yet, everyone already knows that it can't be lost. No famous actor wants to come up and get a piece of the pie, and the famous one doesn't mind having one more masterpiece on his resume.

This matter has both advantages and disadvantages for Director Chen, it is an opportunity and a gamble. From the start of filming to the release, there is no need to worry about a series of publicity, but the pressure is also great, with Zhang Jingsheng as the center, put together a set of top lineups, if the work below the passing line is filmed, then his evaluation in the industry will fall.

Therefore, Director Chen was extremely cautious when casting, and those that were not related to each other became secondary. When those related households get together, everyone has a relationship, so they think that everyone has nothing to do with it, and in the end they still have to speak with their skills.

Regarding the role of [Wu Ze], the role is heavy, if Zhang Jingsheng's existence ensures the lower limit of the movie, then the upper limit of the movie depends on Wu Ze's performance.

Wu Ze, as a young villain, is tyrannical and murderous on the one hand, and is flamboyant and fierce, and on the other hand, he needs to reduce his sense of existence because he is lurking in the police station to hide his identity. The two faces are very contradictory, and the drama is very tense, but this also represents the difficulty of the performance. makes the actors very difficult to pick.

For actors with suitable domestic conditions, the crew sent auditions.

Director Chen doesn't ask for much, among a hundred people, there can be three good ones.

But nearly 100 actors tried it a day, and the results were not very satisfactory.

Young actors are inexperienced, and the role of a bandit is far away from life, resulting in some actors only acting as fierce or changeable when they perform. state, the harder the performance, the more light and unconvincing it is at the role level.

In addition, there are some actors who talk eloquently about various analyses of roles, from the original family to script mapping, and the reading comprehension is very good, but once he is allowed to act, he will immediately collapse the stage.

Although some of the actors performed well, and even occasionally had exciting highlights, the kind of performance that could make him feel amazing or eye-catching never appeared.

Director Chen is not a novice either, he has experienced several auditions and knows that this disappointment is the norm. Like all industries, there are also well-known bastards in the actor industry, and there are also those with mediocre qualifications who can only perform well when they meet a good director, and most of them have their own shortcomings. The kind of actor who is almost "the character himself" is really hard to come by. In the normal casting situation, it is basically to pick out the passable ones from the shortlist, and when it is time to shoot, they will polish them little by little.

Guan Chen's existence, Director Chen didn't remember it at first. Two days to prepare a complex character is ridiculous. He had no hope in the first place, so much so that he had almost forgotten about it.

Hearing Guan Chen say that he wanted to give advice to the script, he felt that the other party didn't know the situation.

But hearing Guan Chen's views on the role, Director Chen was interested, and he was a little surprised.

That's the charm of auditions, and no one knows what kind of performance the actor will be next.

When he saw Guan Chen stepping on the mask and revealing his eyes, Director Chen's heart pounded, and there was only one voice left in his mind:

[It's coming.] 】

……

Guan Chen put on a mask, raised his head, didn't say anything, didn't make any expression, just looked at it with a pair of eyes, and everyone involuntarily quieted down.

The so-called social status and the so-called wealth cannot bring them a sense of security in the slightest in the face of these eyes.

The social stability and order of society have made them the best people who have never experienced danger in their lives, and have never experienced the feeling of their lives hanging by a thread, at this time, being watched by the eyes hidden behind the mask, just like the prey being targeted by danger, the survival instinct that has been passed down in the genes for millions of years is instantly stimulated at this moment.

If Guan Chen stood motionless after entering the room before, his sense of presence was weak, and he was noticed for a while. So now after wearing a mask that blurs his facial features, Guan Chen's sense of presence is so strong that people dare not look away.

They stared at Guan Chen, but Guan Chen didn't look at them much. After Guan Chen swept around the people and environment in the room, he slowly walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, stuck it behind the wall, glanced out the window casually, and then closed the curtains little by little.

No one stopped this process, and no one dared to stop it.

Guan Chen closed the curtains, as if to confirm that it was safe, and then put his mind on the people in the room, walked around behind them, paced slowly, and looked at them with interest.

Guan Chen's gaze was substantial, and each of them felt that sharp teeth were hovering three centimeters above their necks, and their necks couldn't help but get goosebumps, and their hairs stood on end.

They didn't dare to turn back. It's like an extremely dangerous beast sniffing at the fear that emanates from them, waiting for them to collapse, and whoever can't help but move first will be bitten to death and eaten.

After walking around, Guan Chen stood in front of everyone again, looking at everyone with a look of [very good, it seems that there are no fools looking for death]. Everyone has a sense of happiness for the rest of their lives. Some people also noticed that there seemed to be a kind of disappointment in Guan Chen's eyes, as if he hoped that someone would jump out just now. Everyone couldn't help but feel even more fortunate.

There was no yelling, no nervous playfulness, Guan Chen just used a playful look and a light corner of his mouth to show his danger.

All the people in the room have become his hostages.

Guan Chen finished shocking the hostages, and didn't focus on the lamb to be slaughtered, he glanced at the staff in the room who was in charge of the script and the words, and a cruel smile slowly bloomed on the corner of his mouth, as if waiting for an old friend who had been waiting for a long time, and clapped his hands happily and sighed: "I finally saw you, Detective Zhang." ”

The assistant director, who was in charge of the lyrics, was stunned for a moment before coming back to his senses, picked up the script, and stumbled: "You have ...... surrounded. ”

The guide's terrible line skills dissipated the dangerous atmosphere in the room at once. The crowd behind the long table finally got a little bit [this is a audition, right?] What was going on just now?! ] of the real feeling.

Director Chen was a little regretful. From just now, his whole body was completely hung on Guan Chen's body. Whether it's looking out the window or intimidating hostages, the feeling of strolling around embodies strong self-confidence and a clear mind.

is different from the exaggerated performances of previous actors, Guan Chen's calmness in controlling the scene has the persuasiveness of a criminal genius.

Director Chen now only hopes that the assistant's words are a little more reliable, so as not to affect Guan Chen's state, so that he can watch Guan Chen's performance more.

"Put the gun down." Guan Chen pointed to the ground with his finger and said with a smile: "Give you three seconds, if you don't put down the gun, I'll kill one first." ”

The director's assistant squatted in a panic, pretending to put a gun.

Director Chen sighed.

His assistant used to play against people, not professional, at least the lines can be explained clearly. However, now it is covered by Guan Chen's aura and completely wasted.

This situation is too difficult.

Just when Director Chen didn't know whether to go up in person.

"Knock knock."

There was a sudden knock on the door.

"Wow, you're not hungry? I waited for a long time, but no one came. The dishes are all ready. A head popped in.

Zhang Jingsheng complained to the people in the room in a tone of feigned anger.

After he noticed Guan Chen in the room and the surrounding situation, he reacted consciously: "It's not over yet?" ”

He immediately lowered his voice and whispered an apology to everyone with some guilt. "Take your time, I'll wait." After that, go.

"Ah Sheng, you're just in time!" Director Chen immediately jumped out, ran over and grabbed Zhang Jingsheng's hand, and dragged him into the room. "Zhang Jiaju and Wu Ze will play a show."

Zhang Jingsheng looked at Guan Chen, looked at him for a moment, and agreed with a smile.

"Do you want to read the script?" Director Chen asked Zhang Jingsheng.

"Director, are you laughing at me?" Zhang Jingsheng smiled and said no, he had already memorized all the lines.

Director Chen said to Guan Chen: "Do it again, no problem, right?" ”

Guan Chen nodded. There was also some relief. I was playing against the staff just now, and it was really boring.

He's kind of looking forward to what's next. Originally, I just wanted to put on a show and give advice. Now playing against the male protagonist is an unexpected gain.

Zhang Jingsheng is undoubtedly also a genius actor.

It was just a breath of effort, and Guan Chen, who was standing on the opposite side, felt the change in the other party, and it was almost Zhang Jiaju.

"I've finally met you, Detective Zhang." Guan Chen said.

Guan Chen felt the difference in the state of the performance. This feeling is different from the thrill of walking a tightrope in the first class, this time, it is like stepping on an irregular balance beam, stepping on it.

Playing with him, Guan Chen felt that he had briefly sunk into another world.

………………

"I've finally met you, Detective Zhang." Looking at the person in front of him, Wu Ze clapped his hands and walked out.

Zhang Jiaju suddenly heard the voice of a stranger, as if he was facing a great enemy, and quickly picked up the gun in his hand and pointed it at the person who spoke.
