Chapter 328: Interviewer Xiao Xu
Ji Junya looked at the cover of the script, her eyes flashing slightly.
"One Kiss to Love"?
She knows that this is a very famous shoujo manga, which is regarded as the "Bible of Love" by countless followers.
At the end of the last century, after this classic comic was adapted into a live-action version, it caused quite a stir.
Due to the excellent ratings, the TV station rebroadcast it 6 times in a row in half a year, resulting in the relevant departments having to be forced to issue policies to limit the frequency of replay of TV dramas.
ββA work that can promote industry reform, you can imagine how much magic it is.
is different from ordinary shoujo comics, "One Kiss to Love" is not a simple heroine clue story, but a rare double line parallel.
From the heroine's point of view, this is a romantic fairy tale of an ordinary girl pursuing Prince Charming and finally reaping success;
But from the perspective of the male protagonist, this is the story of a boy with a flawed personality who is redeemed and cured step by step, and a textbook-level character arc is staged throughout.
Chi Junya also considered a remake of "One Kiss to Love" a few years ago, but she has been suffering from the lack of a suitable actor candidate.
The image should be good, the age should be young, the temperament should be clean and refreshing, and the acting skills must be absolutely excellent.
Such an actor......
She subconsciously glanced up at Xu Zhen across the long table, and couldn't help but purse her lips and smile.
ββThe drama selection of this "Langya Pavilion" studio is really a hand.
Chi Junya flipped through the script in her hand, and after a while, she looked up and said, "Xiao Xu, let me ask you a question." β
She crossed her hands to support her chin and said to Xu Zhen, "What kind of person do you think, Naoki is?" How are you going to play this role? β
As she spoke, Chi Junya adjusted her sitting posture slightly, and there was some expectation in her heart.
How will Xu Zhen answer?
Male god? A cold boy? The perfect love partner in the eyes of a girl? Still is......
"I think this is a mean person," Xu Zhen on the other side of the conference table obviously had thought about this issue seriously for a long time, so he replied without thinking, "He doesn't consider the feelings of others when he talks and acts, and his personality is quite bad." β
"The whole story is a process in which a bad character is gradually touched and moved."
Xu Zhen said solemnly: "I think the focus of the performance is the process of this transformation, and it must be performed reasonably and empatheticly, so as to move people's hearts." β
Hearing this, the corners of Chi Junya's mouth curled slightly.
Sure enough, an excellent actor is definitely not only good for his acting skills.
"Smack!"
She closed the script in her hand, stood up from the conference table, and stretched out her hand to Cai Shiyi with a smile: "I wish us a happy cooperation." β
"I'm sure this work won't disappoint."
β¦β¦
After a simple negotiation, the two sides reached a cooperation easily.
The new drama "One Kiss Love" of the "Langya Pavilion" studio is expected to start shooting in early October, and will first be broadcast to the public in the form of a webcast.
In mid-September, the drama was officially approved.
In order to ensure the quality of this drama, Chi Junya took the initiative to ask to be the producer of this drama, and hoped that Xu Zhen could also participate in the selection of actors together.
For this kind of serious request, Xu Zhen will certainly not refuse.
It's just that the thought of being an interviewer makes him feel a little funny.
At the beginning, I still remember the experience of auditioning for TV series such as "Blue Blood Sword" and "Breaking through the Guandong", carrying a speaker to audition for the Golden Snake Langjun, renting someone else's military uniform halfway to audition for Zhu Chuanwu, and performing a clip of Zhao Yun but was sent to play Zhou Yu......
All kinds of laughing and crying, but extremely nostalgic experiences seem to have happened yesterday.
As a result, in a blink of an eye, I was going to go to see someone else audition as one of the interviewers.
It's also a little emotional to think about.
β¦β¦
On September 15th, the actor selection officially began.
The preparatory team of "One Kiss to Love" rented a small conference room in a hotel as an audition location, and the chief interviewer was Chu Xiaoxiong, the director of the play, and on either side of him sat producer Chi Junya and producer Cai Shijian.
Xu Zhen, as the "mascot" of this interview, sat at the innermost position of the long table.
"First of all, start with the heroine Yuan Xiangqin," Chu Xiaoxiong looked at the roster in his hand and said to the staff, "You can bring people in." β
Xu Zhen only felt that this experience was very fresh, and subconsciously straightened his sitting posture.
Three minutes later, the first girl to audition was ushered in.
This is a very energetic and beautiful girl, with a crooked ponytail, not tall, and a pair of big eyes that are very eye-catching.
"Hello teachers," after the girl entered the door, she bowed politely to the interviewers and said crisply, "My name is Sun Yutong, 18 years old this year, from Jingying, and I have been acting for three years. β
She just wanted to briefly introduce her performance experience, but suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a tall and thin figure, and the introduction that had been prepared a long time ago suddenly got stuck.
ββXu ...... Xu Zhen?!
Sun Yutong couldn't help but blink twice, making sure that the young man in a white shirt who was looking at him seriously was indeed Xu Zhen.
She only felt her brain "buzz", and it shut down almost instantly.
My male god actually came to the audition scene in person?!
It's difficult, can I play with my male god for a while?!!
"Come, girl, this is for you," Sun Yutong was in the midst of an indescribable surprise, when she saw that across the long table, a bald and short, fat uncle in his forties and fifties, who was not good-looking, handed her an envelope and said, "One minute to familiarize yourself with the time, and then perform this clip." β
The fat uncle said, "I'll play for you." β
Sun Yutong: "......"
This fat uncle is, of course, the chief interviewer, Chu Xiaoxiong.
Is there a problem with interviewing actors and having the director play against each other?
He didn't think there was anything wrong.
But why did the girl on the other side show a bitter expression?
After a while, the girl in the mood for love took the script in her hand and said to Director Chu Xiaoxiong with a simple smile: "Yes, I like you, I like you for so many years!" β
"But so what? You don't like me at all......"
β¦β¦
A few minutes later, the first girl left the audition room in a daze.
After a brief discussion, the next girl was summoned.
The heroine of "One Kiss to Love" is actually not difficult to play, as long as the acting skills are good and the temperament meets the requirements of the role.
It's too easy to find a girl like this, but it's not easy to choose.
By 11:30 p.m., they had watched 9 actors one after another, and about half of them were above the level.
Chu Xiaoxiong looked at the time and said to the staff: "Lead the 10th person in, and look at the last one this morning." β
Hearing this, Xu Zhen looked down at the list of personnel in his hand.
No. 10, Xu Shan, 23 years old, graduated from Chinese opera, huh......
Looking at it, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Xu Zhen didn't feel anything when he looked at this name alone, but now when he looked at it in combination with his resume, he suddenly reacted.
He knows this senior sister Xu Shan!
She is a member of the Begonia Drama Club, the same class as Sister Lin Jia.
Although Senior Sister Xu Shan has good acting skills, she has a relatively sharp temperament, and she mainly plays the role of a villain in the drama club, how could she come to audition for Xiangqin?
"Squeak-"
Just as he was thinking, the door to the conference room had been pushed open from the outside.
Xu Zhen looked sideways, and saw that a girl with a bunch comb and a blue and white sportswear walked to the center of the conference room, bowed to the interview seat, and said, "Hello teachers." β
As she spoke, she raised her head, stretched out her hand and gently stroked the broken hair on her sideburns, and said, "My name is Lin Jia, 22 years old this year, graduated from Chinese opera, and has been acting for six years. β
She grinned, revealing a mouthful of small white teeth.
