What Ren Pengfei said sounds very simple.

However, if no one mentions it, many young people who are just starting out in the industry just won't understand.

Xu Zhen has been preparing for "Breaking through the Guandong" in the past few days, although he has been writing character biographies and trying to figure out Zhu Chuanwu's feelings, but the direction of his preparation is still to focus on performance, and what he thinks about is how to use a short time to fully show his strength.

Now after Ren Pengfei mentioned this, he realized that this mentality was misguided.

On the other end of the phone, Ren Pengfei continued: "For example, have you heard the story of Guan Erye's audition? ”

Xu Zhen said: "I haven't heard of it, what is the story?" ”

Ren Pengfei said simply: "When the old version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was cast, after Senior Lu dressed up as Guan Gong, he walked to the room of the audition, and without saying a word, he directly handed over the sentence 'Guan is late'! ”

"This momentum, this style, all the directors were suppressed at once, and they used him on the spot."

Saying that, Ren Pengfei smiled lightly and said, "You say, what kind of acting skills can you show with the sentence 'Guan is late'?" ”

"The director is willing to use him, completely because Senior Lu looks 'like Guan Gong'."

"Of course, it turned out later that this was indeed a very successful casting, and the audience recognized this version of Guan Erye very much."

"And the reason why everyone recognizes it is not because of how superb his acting skills are, but also because he is 'like Guan Gong'."

Xu Zhen nodded thoughtfully.

Ren Pengfei continued: "Acting skills are indispensable, but what is more important is the 'fit' between the actor and the role. ”

"Whether you look like this role or not, whether you match the character image in the director's mind, is more important than whether you play well or not, and it is much more important."

"If you want to get a role, you should focus on how to grasp the characteristics of the role, rather than how to play it."

"Do you understand what I mean?"

Xu Zhen nodded again and again when he heard this, and said, "Brother Peng, I understand." ”

After saying this, Ren Pengfei turned to smile and said, "I'm not teaching you to learn badly when I say this." ”

"Acting skills are the foundation of an actor's life, there is no doubt about this."

"However, you have to understand what you are doing, find the crux of the problem, and then prescribe the right medicine."

"I want to fight for a role with my acting skills, this is called Yuanmu Qiuyu."

"To be honest, in my opinion, your current acting skills are very good enough in the TV drama circle."

"If you don't get the role under the age of 30, believe me, it's definitely not because your acting skills are not good enough."

“……”

The two immediately chatted briefly around this topic, and then hung up the phone.

Xu Zhen looked at the time, there were less than 10 minutes left until 9 o'clock, so he hurriedly went to the bathroom, and then returned to Fang Cai's waiting area.

Sitting in his seat, Xu Zhen carefully pondered what Ren Pengfei had just said, but he woke up like a dream.

He recalled his audition experience in the past two years.

Needless to say, "Old Boy" and Shen Tang are the only two debuted actors in the class;

"Wen Liangzhu" and "The First Knife in the World" Not to mention, he is the "son" of the producer;

"Blue Blood Sword" won by relying on the price war, and this incident has now become a famous joke in the industry......

Xu Zhen thought about it and found that none of his roles won purely by acting skills.

When the crew of "Three Kingdoms" was casting, he obviously tried Zhao Yun, but he was involuntarily named Zhou Yu by the director, on the grounds that he was like Zhou Yu;

In the crew of "The Peerless Double Pride", Lin Huimei only saw him once, and she didn't try out the play at all, so she directly gave Yulang Jiang Feng a play appointment;

Later, Xu Zhen collided with He Junning when he took makeup photos, also because the image was more suitable, and snatched the role of Hua Wujian from the other party.

is more typical of "Night Rain Rivers and Lakes".

At that time, Xu Zhen and Ding Xuesong auditioned in public, and Xu Zhen didn't know how to act at that time, so he directly copied Ding Xuesong's performance.

In the end, Xu Zhen defeated Ding Xuesong and successfully won the role of Xuezhu, did he rely on his acting skills?

Apparently not.

Relying on him being more like a monk than the other party.

Therefore, the phone call Ren Pengfei made to himself just now actually revealed the truth of the audition:

In the absence of a dark box operation, you "like" this character is the key to impressing the director.

"Zhu Chuanwu Group, No. 1, please follow me to the audition room!"

Xu Zhen was pondering in his seat, when he suddenly heard a staff member calling out, and it turned out that the audition had officially begun.

Everyone turned their heads one by one to search, and after a while, they saw a sturdy young man with a pot lid standing up and walking towards the door.

Xu Zhen listened to the discussions of the people around him and knew that this person was Qi Kui, that is, the person who Ding Xuesong said just now that he was going to perform martial arts.

He sat in the corner and took a rough look at the man.

As a graduate of Jingying, Qi Kui's appearance can only be regarded as Zhou Zheng, and he is not very outstanding.

Small eyes, flat nose, square face, slightly wider distance between the eyes, very simple, honest feeling.

- This person does have a bit of a martial arts meaning.

To be precise, he is very much like the young man who "broke through the Kanto" in the background of that era.

Xu Zhen took out his mobile phone and took a picture of himself with the screen, feeling a little weak.

He deliberately painted that angular "tough guy" makeup this year, and also shaved his hairstyle.

But makeup is not easy to disguise, Xu Zhen is self-aware: there is indeed a certain gap between himself and the "Zhu Chuanwu" described in the script.

Whether this gap can be made up by acting skills, he can't say, he can only leave it to the director to judge.

This feeling of "no score" in the character's heart made Xu Zhen very uneasy.

"Zhu Chuanwu Group, No. 2, have you arrived?"

After a while, the staff returned to the waiting room and called out the next serial number.

Xu Zhen took a deep breath and stood up, once again attracting the attention of the room full of people.

He is very glad that he was ranked No. 2, which at least shows that the crew is more optimistic about him.

The person in charge of calling the number was a young girl who did not look very old.

On the way to the audition room, the girl secretly glanced at Xu Zhen behind her, slowed down her pace slightly, and whispered: "After you enter the room in a while, you will see that the chubby examiner sitting in the middle is called Wang Jianchuan, who is the casting director." ”

"Chief director Zhang Xinjie sits in the innermost position."

"If Director Wang questions you in a while, don't panic, he won't count."

"Director Zhang is the one who makes the decision."

Hearing this, Xu Zhen was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly nodded to her in thanks.

The girl smiled slightly, quickened her pace, and reopened the distance between herself and Xu Zhen.
