Chapter 5 Audition for a new play or for an escape?
Perhaps to escape, Jiang Miao left City C overnight.
Of course, this was Jing Zhan's thoughts, and the first thought that popped into his mind after learning that she was leaving was that she was running away.
Actually, no, she decided to participate in "The Legend of Liuzhu" that day, so half of her panicked departure was for the audition of the TV series.
"The Legend of Liuzhu" is a novel written by Ah Zi, the same screenwriter of "The Legend of the Xihuang", which took six years to write, and the former "The Legend of the Xihuang" became popular with a large number of actors, and also won many domestic awards, which is a phenomenal hit drama, and as her sister "The Legend of Liuzhu", it is also regarded by many people as an opportunity to become popular.
Since the announcement of the start of filming of this drama, it has attracted wide attention, and in addition to the male and female protagonists, other roles are still the objects of competition for many actors.
Therefore, on the day of the casting announcement, most of the stars in the entertainment industry came to try out, including Lin Qing, Fu Qiaoyun, Yu Xiwen and other powerful factions, as well as Yao Congtong, Lin Xinyi, Cui Nianwei and other new actresses.
Jiang Miao also hurried to the imperial capital to audition, and only after the day of casting did he know that there were more than 300 actors in "The Legend of Liuzhu", and more than 2,000 actors were interviewed by the crew, so the audition needed to be repeated several times.
This time I came to the imperial capital, accompanied by the little assistant Qian Xiaoyu. Jiang Miao wore a ginger retro-style dress and sat in front of the mirror to draw makeup.
"Sister Xiaomiao, the whole company said that you are going to be popular."
Jiang Miao smiled: "You also believe it?" ”
Qian Xiaoyu stood up, tidied up the clothes on the bed, and said: "If someone holds it, it will be popular, and there will be another scandal in the future, and you will live, Sister Xiaomiao, your good days are finally coming." ”
On today's occasion, the female stars are all glamorous and glamorous. What she wants to try is a not very likable character, the villain in the play, an arrogant and domineering concubine.
As the production company of the TV series "The Legend of Liuzhu", the casting of Imperial Capital Wind Media Company is naturally also carried out in Wind Media Company.
Fengxiang Media is a listed company that started as a TV column, as a leading enterprise in the entertainment company, featuring independent development projects, and is committed to the joint planning, investment, production and distribution of film and television institutions.
Jiang Miao and Qian Xiaoyu came to Fengxiang Media together.
The exterior is a building with transparent glass, and the first floor is made into an exhibition hall, exhibiting classic movies made by Wind Media.
As soon as you enter the building, you will feel like you have entered a 3D movie world, and the third floor is Jiang Miao's destination.
The audition office was crowded, quite a bit of a job fair, but a large number of people who came were obviously not fresh graduates. There are countless handsome men and beautiful women, and there are also some well-known artists wearing sunglasses, standing in the corner with an irritable look and assistants, as if they disdain to be in the company of other newcomers. It's just that no matter what kind of status and identity they have, standing in this place, they can only be the most ordinary people. Watching the entertainers with excitement or loss on their faces coming out of the glass door, the crowd outside couldn't stop the whispering commotion.
Jiang Miao is not particularly eye-catching in this crowd of handsome men and beautiful women, although a beautiful costume and elegant temperament attracted some curious eyes, but after seeing the inconspicuous assistant behind her, most people lost interest and stopped paying attention. Such an audition will be lively, and no matter how big the wrists of the people present, it can only be like that.
A handsome sunny man who looked about the same age as Jing Zhan, dressed in Han Fan, and had dimples when he smiled, walked up.
When he saw Jiang Miao, he frowned and thought for a while, looked at it again, and shouted with a smile: "Hi, beauty!" ”
Jiang Miao smiled awkwardly and walked over.
Qian Xiaoyu whispered to Jiang Miao: "Sister Xiaomiao, this person is Zhou Linyi, the prince of the wind direction!" ”
"Zhou Linyi..."Jiang Miao repeated his name softly.
She remembered that the prince who had heard of Wind Direction Media was now the general manager of its subsidiary Wind Direction Pictures.
But his casual style doesn't look like a traditional elite at all.
Zhou Linyi stared at Jiang Miao and fell into deep thought, and Jian Ning was a little hairy by him. Suddenly, Zhou Linyi clapped his hands and said excitedly: "I remembered!" Are you that Jiang Miao! I said, "Why is it so familiar!" ”
Jiang Miao pulled the hair from her ears and nodded forcefully, "It's me, I didn't expect anyone to remember." ”
"Of course, you're my brother's goddess... Female classmates, I was also in the third middle school back then, but we were not in the same class. ”
At this time, Zhou Linyi's mobile phone rang, he picked it up and looked at it, and said to Jiang Miao: "I'm sorry, I'll see you later." ”
Jiang Miao nodded.
As soon as Qian Xiaoyu saw that Zhou Linyi was gone, he began to talk again.
"Sister Xiao Miao, don't you see that this is the new generation of Xiaohua Yao Congtong, she is also here, ah, and this, it is the actress Yu Xiwen!"
"Yes, there are so many people here, hey!" Jiang Miao was a little worried.
"It's okay, it's okay, Sister Xiaomiao, I'm sure you can do it."
"Well, hopefully!" Jiang Miao looked at the office, and after a while, she had already tried a lot of people, and it seemed that it was about to be her turn.
Another hour passed.
Director Xu Wenhua is not young, he does not have the momentum of a cutting-edge director, and there are many people who are sophisticated and peaceful after years of precipitation. But Rao is like this, after watching more than four hours of audition performances that can be called the dancing demons, he still can't help but sigh.
Shaking the bell to make an artist who interprets the emperor's domineering like the village chief stop reciting the lines, Xu Wenhua rubbed his forehead and couldn't hide his exhaustion. Zhang Jian, the assistant director on the side, patted him on the shoulder: "The last one in this group." ”
Xu Wenhua shook his head: "Isn't there a next group?" When is this day going to be the end? Don't I just want someone who can act and have a sense of drama? How can it be so difficult! ”
"Who doesn't go to the film industry if they have the ability?" Zhang Jian is also very speechless about the deformed market mechanism in the industry today, once an artist enters the film industry, few are willing to return to make TV. The TV industry is like an embarrassing school that can't retain trainee teachers. If this is an ordinary director, he can't say that he will reluctantly make compromises after seeing the prospects, but the two old men have dedicated their lives to art, and they really don't want to smash their signboards when they are old.
"Next group!" Xu Wenhua took a sip of tea, cheered up and shouted to his assistant, and then turned his head to look in the direction of the gate without hope
"No. 306, Jiang Miao." Said the staff.
"Sister Xiaomiao, come on." He made a cheering gesture as he spoke.
Jiang Miao smiled at her.
Jiang Miao took a deep breath, and after walking into the room, he saw three men and one woman sitting behind the table, and on the sign were assistant director Zhang Jian, screenwriter A Zi, director Xu Wenhua, and the producer, is the producer not there?
As soon as Jiang Miao entered the door with his front foot, a person walked in with his back foot, and when he saw that it was Zhou Linyi, the two looked at each other and smiled.
Waiting for Zhou Linyi to sit down, Jiang Miao began to introduce himself.
"Hello teachers, I'm actor Jiang Miao, 26 years old this year, and I'm going to try Xia Yanjun."
Xia Yanjun.
is a sad character who is okay in the scene, marrying the emperor for the benefit of her mother's family, even if the emperor is gracious to her. To support the prince in front of the emperor, it is best for his son to become the crown prince and seek the best interests for the prince and the family. The role of being enchanted for love will not be offensive, but it will be very pleasing if it is played well.
In the early stage, she needed to win the emperor's favor with her beauty in the palace on the one hand, and on the other hand, she had to find a good backer, and let the opponent relax her vigilance and not come to her, so she pretended to be straightforward and quick-talking, without scheming, and did not pose a threat to anyone.
In the later period, the mother was very proud of her son, but when she learned that the prince used her, it also became her last talisman.
"Let's try Xia Yanjun's scene of losing a child." After trying more than 300 actors, the director didn't seem to be looking forward to her play, and it was a little perfunctory.
Jiang Miao looked at the script, there are few lines in this scene, but it is very difficult, after Xia Yanjun completely fell out of favor in the later stage, for the sake of her beloved prince, she lost her child, and in order to meet the prince, despite the fact that she had just finished giving birth, she rushed out of the dormitory, just to look at the prince from afar and see the person who made her dedicate her life.
She saw a chair next to her, leaned on it, and brewed emotions.
"Lan'er, how is the prince?" Because of the loss of the child, his voice is weak and his eyes are empty.
After hearing that the prince had entered the palace, he became excited again.
"I'm going to see him." Saying that, he stood up with difficulty, and kept saying in his mouth: "I'm going to see the prince, the prince, the prince." After saying that, he laughed, and his eyes became gentle, as if he was expecting his lover. In just a few sentences, the intricate tangled emotions of the characters and their feelings for the prince are vividly expressed.
Xu Wenhua nodded, with appreciation in his eyes: "You are good, your name is Jiang Miao, right?" Stay. "Today is a busy day, and there are really not many people who can make his eyes shine like Jiang Miao. Although he is strict, he is not brainless, he can't start the film if he can't find an actor, and it is impossible for the whole crew to sit on the cold bench for the pending role. When necessary, the choice of taking a step back, even if the director is reluctant, has to make it.
After going out, Qian Xiaoyu immediately came up.
"Sister Xiaomiao, how is it?"
"I don't know yet, let's go!"
Jiang Miao was quite satisfied with her performance, and it was not interesting to continue to stay here, but she would be asked questions by people she knew, so she left with Qian Xiaoyu.
Back at the hotel, Su Yue's call came, as if she knew she was done.
"Hey, Sister Yue."
"How are you today, what did Director Ren say?"
"You still don't believe in my acting skills, I'm quite satisfied with the director's appearance, but I don't know the result now, the competitiveness of this show is strong, and I may have to try it several times."
"Yo, if you don't have acting skills, why would our company sign you, the company won't raise idlers, it seems that this drama will take a while, then I'll sign you another drama, there are not many scenes, and there will be no conflict in the schedule."
"Well, okay, you decide."
