Chapter 424: The War of the Actors
(change first and then change, delete after correction)
Zhang Dingyu, Xia Xiaojun......
After Xu Zhen heard the names of these two competitors, he couldn't help frowning slightly.
He asked Qiao Feng: "Will the actors also come to the audition?" β
Qiao Feng shook his head and said, "This usually doesn't. β
"On this occasion, generally only young actors will audition, which is part of the early publicity."
"If you try it and there is nothing particularly outstanding, this audition will be in vain, which can be regarded as an explanation to everyone, and it will be easy to explain why you are not used when the time comes."
After that, Qiao Feng comforted again: "But don't be discouraged, since you said that you want to audition, it's not exactly a decoration." β
"Of course, there are many cases where other actors are parachuted in after trying out, but there are also many cases where the right role is actually selected through auditions."
"If it really plays well and meets the needs of the producer, it doesn't mean that it must be useless."
"We'll have to prepare, but I mean, don't get your hopes up."
Hearing this, Xu Zhen nodded very understandingly.
Are you afraid of competing for the same role with multiple actors?
Honestly, not afraid.
It is true that these two are well-known good actors in the industry, but Xu Zhen feels that he is not bad.
The title of "Best Actor" recognizes that a certain role he played is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, not that the actor's acting skills are enough to become a god.
Unless it is like Liang Wuzhe's predecessors, who have repeatedly claimed the title of emperor because of many movies, the title of actor is not enough to be daunting.
But to say that there is no pressure is certainly false.
Because, the title of "actor" represents not only the level of performance, but also the recognition of the industry and strong box office appeal.
Xu Zhen is currently only a newcomer in the film industry, has never played a leading actor, and his ability to carry the box office has not yet been tested by the market.
If the filmmaker wants to use himself to play Yang Zirong, he is bound to take a certain risk, and it is better to use a veteran actor.
Unless the actor's temperament and image are highly compatible with the role, or have a clear advantage over others in terms of performance, it is difficult for the producer to make up his mind to use a newcomer.
Xu Zhen also understood in his heart that it was not very likely that he would win the role of "Yang Zirong".
But that doesn't stop you from working hard.
As the saying goes, do your best and obey the destiny of heaven.
He hesitated, looked up and said to Qiao Feng: "I definitely want to participate in the audition, but I don't have to play Yang Zirong, other main roles are also acceptable." β
"Shaojian Bo, Gao Bo, and even Luanping, I feel that there is room to be explored."
Qiao Feng nodded when he heard this, and said, "Then I'll go and communicate with the crew, saying that you really want to participate in this movie, let's 'obey the adjustment'." β
Xu Zhen couldn't help grinning when he heard his words.
β¦β¦
A week later, Qiao Feng received an invitation letter from the crew of "Outwitting Tiger Mountain": the audition for the role of "Yang Zirong" in the film will be held on October 4.
In order not to affect the filming of "Orphaned", he did not write a biography of the character, nor did he adjust his mentality immersively, but just stood from the perspective of a bystander and made some necessary preparations for this role.
And to tell the truth, whether or not you can win this role has nothing to do with whether you are in the play or not.
On the 4th, Xu Zhen came to the hotel where the audition was conducted according to the instructions of the crew, and under the leadership of the staff, he went to the waiting area through the VIP channel.
At this moment, he felt a little emotion in his heart.
- Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've auditioned.
Since his popularity skyrocketed two years ago because of "Three Kingdoms", the drama contract handed to him has basically not been broken.
After that, the film and television dramas he participated in were either invited by the producer or filmed by his own company, and they did not compete with others.
Moreover, when an actor arrives at Xu Zhen's current coffee position, unless it is a classic character in a very small number of big productions, and many well-known actors want to fight for it, they will generally not organize auditions.
This feeling of single-mindedly fighting for a certain role made him feel a little nostalgic.
Soon, Xu Zhen was led by the staff to the door of a small conference room.
Pushing the door in, he saw that there were already a few people scattered in the room, and he looked around, and there were basically familiar faces everywhere he could see.
After all, it is an actor competing for "Yang Zirong", how can there be a nobody.
At the same time, when these people saw Xu Zhen, they were also stunned for a moment, and immediately greeted him one after another.
Xu Zhen responded to these people with a smile, then found a sofa where no one was around, and sat down quietly.
In normal times, these people will inevitably have to talk a few words when they get together and pull a relationship with each other; But now that they are competitors, it will inevitably be a little embarrassing to communicate again.
"Squeak-"
At this moment, the door of the reception room was pushed open again, and Xu Zhen followed the prestige, but saw that the person who came was a young man who was not a few years older than himself, tall, with heroic eyebrows and eyes, and he looked very eye-catching.
This man was wearing a long black trench coat, and the moment he pushed the door in, the corners of the trench coat were blown by the wind, and he looked extremely sassy.
This face Xu Zhen recognizes - a new first-line student who has become popular in recent years, Lin Xiaobo.
Xu Zhen unfortunately hasn't watched the movies and TV series he played, but after all, this person's popularity is very high, and he can always see it when he watches the news.
Xu Zhen doesn't know how the actor's acting skills are, but his acting path has been very stable.
Moreover, although Lin Xiaobo's achievements and status in the field of TV dramas are far inferior to himself, he is both film and television, and he has quite a small success in movies.
In terms of connections and achievements in the film alone, Xu Zhen is much weaker than him.
After Lin Xiaobo entered the door, he glanced around, his eyes immediately locked on Xu Zhen, and raised his eyebrows slightly, looking a little surprised.
Xu Zhen didn't know this person, so he had to smile and nod in response, and then planned to lower his head and continue to brew his emotions.
However, it backfired.
Lin Xiaobo, who didn't know whether it was because he was familiar with him or because his brain waves were abnormal, walked over to Xu Zhen and sat on the sofa next to him.
"Xu Zhen?" He smiled and stretched out his hand to Xu Zhen and said, "Hello, hello, I have admired the name for a long time!" β
"I didn't expect to see you here, it's really fate!"
Seeing this, Xu Zhen had to shake his hand awkwardly and said, "Hello." β
"I watched the whole ceremony of the Magnolia Awards," Lin Xiaobo grinned, "You are really a pioneer of our generation!" β
"Before you, we didn't believe that there could be an actor in his twenties who could get the title of Emperor of Vision, it's really too much for the actors of our generation to have a long face!"
Xu Zhen was a little overwhelmed by this kind of praise, so he could only say modestly: "False praise, this actually has an element of luck." β
"I didn't expect you to try Yang Zirong too," Lin Xiaobo turned his head to look around and said, "Don't you think about Shao Jianbo?" I feel that your temperament is more suitable to play less Jianbo. β
Xu Zhen: "......"
This person feels a little bad at chatting.
He smiled awkwardly and said, "Shao Jianbo is not impossible, but I still want to try Yang Zirong first." β
"It's all about participation, and if you can't choose, you can try other roles."
When Lin Xiaobo heard him say this, his face showed a righteous and awe-inspiring expression, and he said, "How can you think so?" β
"This is disrespectful to Yang Zirong, and it is also disrespectful to other characters."
"I'm here for Yang Zirong, and if it's not Yang Zirong, I won't act."
Xu Zhen: "......"
What if it's a bit of a stretch to talk to this person?
Fortunately, at this time, a newcomer arrived in the conference room, and Xu Zhen hurriedly stopped this awkward conversation.
And the person who came this time made Xu Zhen a little surprised.
This person is twenty-eight or nineteen years old, with a Chinese face, thick eyebrows, a darker complexion, and a tall and strong figure - it is a period drama professional, Qin Shaoze.
Not long ago, Qin Shaoze and Xu Zhen jointly nominated for "Yulan Emperor", but the other party may have expected that he had no hope of winning the award, so he did not attend the award ceremony of the Yulan Award at all.
Therefore, this is the first time the two have met in real life.
The moment Xu Zhen saw him enter the door, he felt almost in a trance.
ββIt seems that the character "Zhu Chuanwu" has traveled through time, space and dimension to come to his eyes.
Sure enough, it is the prototype of "Zhu Chuanwu" written by Mr. Sun Mantang!
When Xu Zhen first read the script of "Crossing the Guandong", he imagined such a character in his heart!
I don't think I just look at the photos, but as soon as I see me, I will experience the wild and crazy, and there is a ruthless feeling in the simplicity!
At the same time, Qin Shaoze, who had just entered the door, couldn't help but be a little moved when he saw Xu Zhen in the reception room.
However, what he was thinking at this time was diametrically opposed to Xu Zhen.
Qin Shaoze mainly focuses on period dramas, so he has not watched Xu Zhen's other TV series, and has only watched one "Breaking through the Guandong".
You know, looking at a person through the screen and what you see with the naked eye is quite large.
At this time, when he saw Xu Zhen himself, Qin Shaoze's heart seemed to have set off a storm.
ββIs this young man in front of him the same person as Zhu Chuanwu in the TV series "Breaking through the Guandong"?!
Unthinkable!
The temperament gap is too far away!
The strength that comes out of the bones is completely two different feelings!
So...... He played Zhu Chuanwu, really when he was in a situation where his temperament was very different from his own temperament, and he used his acting skills to play hard? !
Together, a deep sense of frustration suddenly arises at this thought.
Xu Zhen and Qin Shaoze were separated by a distance of seven or eight meters, and they were each stunned for a while.
It wasn't until two or three seconds later that Xu Zhen was the first to react, stood up from the sofa, and smiled at the other party: "Hello." β
Qin Shaoze didn't come back to his senses until this moment, and hurriedly greeted Xu Zhen, shook hands with Xu Zhen, and said, "Hello, hello." β
As he spoke, a somewhat strange smile appeared on his face, and he reluctantly said, "I have been friends for a long time, and we finally met today." β
"It's really fateful."
"Hahaha, yes, it's really fate......" Xu Zhen smiled a little embarrassed, not knowing how to answer this question.
Yang Zirong and Zhu Chuanwu are certainly not the same kind of people.
But these two characters are both characters in period dramas, and they are both in the forest and snow, they have been soldiers, fallen grass, soldiers and bandits, and there are certain similarities in their life experiences.
When Xu Zhen saw the project "Outwitting Tiger Mountain", he knew that he might meet many acquaintances, but he didn't expect that the first "acquaintance" he met was actually Qin Shaoze.
This thing is really wonderful.
And Qin Shaoze was reluctant to look at Xu Zhen at this time, and his mood was extremely complicated.
The "fate" between him and Xu Zhen actually has a series of inexplicable cause and effect relationships.
He was ridiculed by the group for a full year because he gave up the role of Zhu Chuanwu in "Breaking Guandong", and "War Doctor" starring him was also turned into scum by "Breaking Guandong" in seconds.
was also nominated for the emperor, and he won the award at a young age.
What's more, "Crossing the Guandong" has become an important transformation work in Xu Zhen's career, and the success of this work has made countless people see the possibility of him playing various roles, especially in period dramas.
Further analysis, the reason why he was invited to audition for the role of "Yang Zirong" today is also directly related to his previous appearance in "Breaking through the Guandong"?
With all these things, Qin Shaoze was actually very angry before, but the moment he saw Xu Zhen just now, he was suddenly convinced.
ββI have played many roles, and the reason why I have been able to achieve certain results is because of my own temperament and role fit.
Therefore, he is known as a "period drama professional", and his acting path has always been extremely narrow.
However, Xu Zhen is not.
As an "actor", Xu Zhen is more than half a chip better than himself in terms of ability.
This kind of realization made Qin Shaoze suddenly feel extremely frustrated.
After a brief chat, the two took their seats, and calm returned to the conference room.
"Excuse me, guys!"
About ten minutes later, a crew member entered the small reception room, glanced at everyone, and said, "May I ask if Mr. Qin Shaoze has arrived?" β
When Qin Shaoze heard this, he raised his right hand slightly, and signaled to the staff: "It's here!" β
The staff followed the prestige, smiled at him, and said, "Mr. Qin, the audition is about to start, you are today's No. 1, please come with me." β
Hearing this, Qin Shaoze stood up and left the small reception room behind the staff.
On the way, he adjusted his breathing slightly, and then quietly pulled out a black ribbon from his pocket and blindfolded it.
- He's going to take the lead!
Although Qin Shaoze understands that his emperor is not as good as those actors, and even far inferior to Xu Zhen, he still has his own advantages.
That is, he is more like "Yang Zirong" than everyone here!
There is a cloud in the northwest Xuantian, the crows have fallen all the phoenixes, and the house is full of heroes, who is the king and who is the minister
First, it is necessary to have both the temperament of a soldier and the spirit of banditry; the second is a performative personality, who can sing and tell stories, especially "Three Kingdoms" and "Water Margin"; The third is bold and careful, clever and smooth.
