Chapter 38: Understanding
Before going to Beijing, Xing Yan had a preventive shot with Guan Chen, saying that some directors usually already have a general feeling in their hearts, and then choose actors according to that feeling. If Guan Chen fails the audition, it doesn't mean that he is worse than others, it just shows that the feeling he played is not in line with the director's.
Guan Chen felt that Xing Yan obviously missed one situation, that is, the role was determined, and he felt that no matter how right he was, he couldn't do anything.
After Guan Chen's performance, it could be seen that the director was very excited, and ruled out the possibility of being Stockholm in a short period of time, which means that his acting feeling is quite close to the standard in the director's heart. But the producer on the side obviously has another standard, and Guan Chen regrets not meeting it.
"It's hard work, you go back and wait for the notice." The producer told him.
Guan Chen pursed his lips, a little unhappy. I felt that I had worked hard to prepare for the exam for a long time, but another candidate took a make-up class and got the exam questions in advance, and easily got a full score.
However, Guan Chen didn't plan to remove the candidate's arm so that he would never be able to take the exam again.
Xing Yan told him in the first class that what determines how far an actor can go in the end is always something other than acting.
Guan Chen cleaned up his mood in an instant, nodded, stuffed the mask back into the bag, turned around and left.
When he went out, he looked at the time, and it had only been nineteen minutes since he entered the room.
Just for such twenty minutes, I waited for six or seven hours, which sounded a little worthless, but fortunately, I had a scene with Zhang Jingsheng in the end, which made Guan Chen feel that this trip was quite interesting.
The earliest performances were like walking a tightrope, crumbling, and if you didn't pay attention to it, you couldn't go on. After that, he used Xing Yan's performance method to connect his things with the characters, and then played them again, like stepping on a broken balance beam.
And Zhang Jingsheng's performance is like filling in those missing places, allowing him to step on it more steadily and more steadily. Guan Chen felt that he could run and jump on it, and he could even roll forward, which was a very good experience.
It's a pity that there are sequelae.
It is easy to enter luxury from thrift, and it is difficult to enter luxury into thrift. After playing with Zhang Jingsheng, he went back to act with Xiaoxiong, Guan Chen didn't know if he would want to break off his friendship with Xiaoxiong......
Walking downstairs to the hotel, looking at the night view of the capital, Guan Chen remembered the purpose of entering Beijing, quickly put aside all kinds of ideas, happily stopped a taxi, and aimed at the ancient city wall park, planning to eat special snacks while shopping before the flight departed in the early morning.
Before he could get in the car, Xie Jinzhu called.
"The audition is over?" Xie Jinzhu asked.
"Just tried." Guan Chen replied.
"How does it feel?"
"Okay."
"What does it mean to be okay?" Xie Jinzhu felt that Guan Chen's answer was very similar to the unconfident answer of a student who failed to do well in the exam.
"Zhang Jingsheng is quite powerful." Guan Chen said. Although he had a relationship with Zhang Jingsheng just now, Guan Chen didn't feel that he could compare with the actor. When he acted, he used the feeling of his previous life, and Zhang Jingsheng, an actor, really brought Guan Chen that sense of oppression that was difficult to entangle the old policeman. It's amazing.
"What is quite powerful, don't look down on him when he debuts as a singer...... Wait, you're playing with him? ”
"He finally ran up to call everyone to dinner, and then the director pulled him to play against me."
Xie Jinzhu was a little nervous and asked, "You didn't make any mistakes, right?" No nervousness or anything? ”
"Nope. On the contrary, he changed the words on the spot, which was a bit sudden. Guan Chen remembered that Zhang Jingsheng temporarily said lines that were not in the script, and he said a large number of lines without thinking, and recalled: "The acting is very cool." ”
I still have some envy in my heart, and I don't know when I can change the words so casually, so that the screenwriter doesn't dare to say a word.
Xie Jinzhu smiled with satisfaction, "That's good, there are more chances of winning." ”
Guan Chen didn't think so: "It's hard to say. He recalled the director's appreciative gaze when he left, and the confused look in his eyes when he looked at the producer, saying, "The director should be interested in me, but it's hard to say whether the producer next to him is still the producer." Before the audition began, I heard that the role of Wu Ze seemed to be predetermined. ”
"Tell me about it from the beginning." On the phone, Xie Jinzhu's voice became serious.
Guan Chen told Xie Jinzhu 1510. When he walked into the toilet to change clothes, he heard an agent surnamed Liu on the phone, saying that the role of Wu Ze was decided. Then when the audition began, he found that the actors waiting in the hallway began to talk about it one after another.
Xie Jinzhu breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Don't completely believe the news you hear in the toilet in the future - that kind of place is not a good place to talk about things at all." ”
"So the internal determination is fake?" Guan Chen was stunned for a moment, and then remembered what he had seen and heard in the corridor, "No wonder ......"
After the rumors about the internal determination spread, Guan Chen gave up the audition halfway after seeing that some people knew, and some simply changed roles to try. There are also some actors who are still waiting, but their mentality may have been unbalanced, and they over-starred or under-ignited during auditions, which is not conducive to [accurate performance]. A very small number of actors are emotional, and may even question the crew in person, provoking the producer and director......
"It's a very low-level little trick, no one has used it for hundreds of years. The recruits are all impetuous young actors. Xie Jinzhu said.
Guan Chen remembered that he went in and said, "I don't know who you have decided, but those have nothing to do with me......", but judging by the results, he shouldn't be considered a hit.
"The director appreciates you, but the producer doesn't pay attention to you, it's likely that you are a white face and a red face, and you want to suppress your price, don't worry too much, and then I will ask Huang Jin to go to the bottom again." Xie Jinzhu was very experienced, and he comforted Guan Chen.
Guan Chen stopped a taxi and got in.
"What if the rumors happen to be true?"
"What do you mean?"
"What if someone really has the role of Wu Ze?"
On the other end of the phone, Xie Jinzhu thought about it seriously and said: "In our industry, it is not an unacceptable thing to rely on relationships to go through the back door, but we conducted an audition in a fake way, wasting the time and energy of hundreds of people, and finally picked the person who was predetermined...... If you don't do it properly, you will be hated. ”
……
in the hotel.
After Guan Chen left, the crew ended today's audition and went downstairs for dinner happily.
Auditions are tiring, but there are also occasional bright actors, so you don't waste a day in vain.
Especially Guan Chen, who appeared at the end, simply made people feel like they had won the jackpot. Although he spoke a little crazy, his performance was really good, and when he played with Zhang Jingsheng, he was not suppressed at all.
Zhang Jingsheng talked and laughed with everyone in front. The main thing is that he rubbed his arms and said vigorously that everything everyone saw just now, especially the final action scene, was actually arranged by him and Guan Chen in advance. Then the others laughed.
Zhang Jingsheng didn't have the slightest superstar shelf, found the staff who laughed the loudest, rushed over and grabbed the man's neck, and said that he wanted him to see his true level.
Everyone laughed even more heartily.
Only Director Chen and the producer, who fell at the back of the crowd, did not look good.
"When you first came to me, you didn't tell me that Tang always wanted to use her people." Director Chen's tone was as disgusting as eating a fly.
"He is quite suitable for the role of Wu Ze."
"I don't remember his auditioning performance. Can it be more suitable than Guan Chen? ”
“…… Each has its own advantages. The producer had a haircut and looked calm.
Director Chen smiled, feeling extremely ridiculous.
"Guan Chen's role is well portrayed, and he also has skills, Wu Ze's crazy side is basically there, but he still lacks the other side, the restrained side." The producer said: "You heard it too, let him say a point of knowledge in ten seconds, what he said." Being admitted to Yunman University is very powerful, a high-achieving student, but he is from the Department of Literature, very emotional, and does not have the rational feeling that high-IQ criminals are calculating. The one that Mr. Tang stuffed in, I have watched him, made several literary films, and his temperament is very restrained. ”
Director Chen just shook his head vigorously, "Then let Guan Chen come back and try again?" Let's see if he can play Wu Ze during the day? ”
The producer took a look at it and said, "Director Chen, you are also considerate and considerate of me." Everyone came to see Zhang Jingsheng, and whoever plays Wu Ze is not much worse. The only difference is the selection of Guan Chen, which may not be able to increase the box office much, but Tang can always let us schedule a few more films. ”
Director Chen was silent.
