Chapter 3 Trying on makeup, trying out the play
Tang Qin was an accident for the Journey to the West crew.
In addition to his face, Director Yang Jie didn't care about Tang Qin for ten minutes.
You must know that among the candidates she finalized, Liu Wei of the General Political Department has been nominated for the Plum Blossom Award in the theater industry many times, Wang Baizhao of Beijing Film has starred in two movies, and Xu Shaohua of the Shanhai Provincial Repertory Troupe has also starred in a movie and starred in many dramas, all of which are the protagonists.
However, Tang Qin is just a B corner who helps set up the stage, although the image is passable, Director Yang Jie still wants to take another look and try again, since Tang Qin has been given the opportunity, it really depends on whether he succeeds or not.
The time for the three of them to audition is set for July 26, according to Director Yang's plan, after filming part of the Tiangong interior scenes at the end of the month, they will go to the NMG prairie to shoot part of the exterior scenes of "Guanfeng Bi Ma Wen", so the actors of Tang Seng and Xiaobailong can't be delayed any longer, and now they are just temporarily adding a Tang Qin.
"Comrade, how much is a bottle of soda?" In front of it is the radio compound, and the weather is too hot today, Tang Qin walked to a soda stall on the street.
On the tricycle is a row of soda chilled with ice cubes, and next to it are empty bottles that customers have collected after drinking. At this time, there is no refrigerator freezer, so the stall owner uses a large block of ice to cool the soda.
"Five cents, five points for you." The stall owner quickly picked up the bottle picker and pried open a bottle of soda.
Drink the soda into the stomach, and the whole body is refreshing and transparent. Tang Qin threw the five-cent coin in the air, and when it fell to the ground, the ears of wheat were facing up, Tang Qin picked up the coin and walked into the radio compound with a smile.
β¦β¦
The trial play is fixed, which means that someone will go up and someone will go down, although there are two roles, but all four of them are eyeing Tang Seng meat,
Wang Baizhao was originally scheduled to play the actor of Bailongma, but now he strongly asks to try Tang Seng.
In the literary and artistic world, who doesn't want to play the leading role!
In the literature and art department of China Television, Liu Wei and Wang Baizhao were both reading the script intently.
The General Political Department and Beiying are both in the capital, although they don't usually know each other, it doesn't affect their belief that they are taller than their local comrades.
"I think Tang Seng belongs to us," Wang Baizhao raised his head in the end, but the object of his speech was Liu Wei, "This role can only be produced in the hands of the two of us." β
"Well," Liu Wei readily agreed, he has always been condescending to the comrades of the local troupe, "We compete fairly, we can make an agreement, if one person plays Tang Seng, the other can play the little white dragon." β
Hearing that the two of them seemed to have wrapped up the two roles, as if the two were transparent characters, Tang Qin and Xu Shaohua were speechless.
"Xu Shaohua of Shanhai Repertory Theatre."
"Qindao Repertory Theatre, Tang Qin."
is also a mountain and sea person, and the two are polite, Tang Qin looked at this Tang Seng in his previous life, because he was going to college and left the crew, Director Yang Jie had to choose another Tang Seng, and finally Chi Chongrui's Tang Seng finished learning the scriptures.
β¦β¦
"General Political Drama Troupe, Liu Wei, audition."
The audition was held in another room, Director Yang Jie looked at the list in her hand, she still focused on Liu Wei and Wang Baizhao, Tang Qin couldn't even rank fourth in her heart.
Although the young man is good-looking, his temperament is not in line with Tang Seng, give him a chance, it is she who saw Tang Qin's determination and courage to take the initiative to take the initiative to cut his bald head.
The interview went on very slowly, and Tang Qin was really the last in line.
When Tang Qin walked in, Director Yang Jie suggested that he sit down first, and the Tiangong over there had a little fork, and she had to rush over to deal with it.
This process lasted for an hour, and when she came back, she saw Tang Qin still sitting on the chair as meticulously as she had before she left.
"I'm sorry, Xiao Tang," Yang Jie secretly appreciated, the young man is not impetuous, which is commendable, "It's still filming over there, well, let me ask first, have you seen Journey to the West?" β
If you haven't even read the original book, then you don't need an interview, the filming over there is still waiting for her, and she plans to send Tang Qin away with a few words.
In fact, before the Journey to the West TV series, many people had never read the original Journey to the West, and most of everyone's understanding of Journey to the West came from comic books or word of mouth.
Of course, if you really have the patience to open the original Journey to the West, you will find that the Tang Seng, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Seng written in the original book are almost different from the four people in your imagination, and there are many details that are even subversive.
Looking at Director Yang Jie's scrutinizing eyes, Tang Qin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Director Yang, Tang Seng, there is indeed a person in history, when Tang Taizong was not far away, he completed the great cause of learning scriptures alone, in my opinion, he is a great person with a strong will." β
"yes, well, go on." Yang Jie's eyes lit up and she encouraged.
"And in Journey to the West, Sun Wukong is highlighted, Tang Seng is belittled, and he becomes a weak, shemale who does not distinguish between right and wrong, and cries and cries at every turn, and drives away Sun Wukong at every turn......"
"Oh, then you say, how to shape Tang Seng?" Director Yang Jie took a glass of water and said with a smile.
In fact, before the start of filming, she visited Mr. Zhao Puchu in Xi'an and asked for the title of the film, but Zhao Lao Wanyan refused, because the Buddhist community did not recognize Journey to the West, thinking that Journey to the West distorted the image of Tang Seng, and he hoped that the crew could rehabilitate Tang Seng, at least not scandalize Tang Seng.
"If there is no Tang Seng, there will be no Journey to the West, if there is no Tang Seng's firm belief and enough courage, how can he set foot on the road of learning the scriptures alone and retrieve the true scriptures?
But Journey to the West is a myth after all, and he has three apprentices with great powers around him to help him, so it is understandable that he is mortal with the naked eye and compassion, and often contradicts the apprentices with fiery eyes and vast magical powers.
What I want to show is his will and courage on the way to learn the scriptures, of course, the Tang monk reincarnated by the golden cicada should be handsome and chic, weak and elegant, the male monster wants to eat him, immortal, and the female monster wants to get him, and he must also live forever......"
Sizzle-
Director Yang Jie's hand shook, and appreciation turned into surprise, "Hey, young man, have you studied Journey to the West?" β
"Well, I usually like to read."
Yang Jie looked at Tang Qin like this, and even forgot to drink the water, "What's your name?" Tang Qin? "The day before yesterday, Tang Qin's appearance was so amazing that Director Yang Jie didn't remember his name.
Now, she didn't expect that this young man and several screenwriters of the crew would want to go with her.
Those playwrights are all top figures of the Peking Opera Company in China.
At this moment, it seems that he took the initiative to shave his head, that is, he has a strong will to play Tang Seng, and he understands the original work very thoroughly, no, not only thoroughly, it is simply excellent!
"It's rare, it's rare, it's really rare." Director Yang Jie handed the water cup to Tang Qin, "Drink water." Her excitement was palpable.
"However, boys, I can tell you, our Journey to the West crew is all live shooting, and we need to run all over the place, which is very hard, no better than you staying in the house and rehearsing dramas, and it is not something that can be filmed in a year or two, nor is it like you making movies."
"I can endure hardship." Tang Qin immediately said, "Tang Seng has passed all the eighty-one difficulties, and we will never be more bitter than him in filming TV series." β
Well, Director Yang Jie is really getting more and more satisfied with Tang Qin, but he has never played the leading role, nor has he made a movie, or is an actor in a local theater troupe, she is still unsure.
If the acting skills are passable...... She secretly said in her heart, "Okay, it was just an opening remark just now, I won't say much, try the play first, then try on makeup, and then try on makeup, and then Director Ruan in the stage will also come over, she attaches great importance to these two roles." β
"Next, we are going to shoot the episode of Zhu Bajie, the script in your hand is the last scene of Bajie's apprenticeship, I will play it for you later, and give you a minute to prepare."
This play is actually not complicated, that is, Sun Wukong caught Zhu Bajie, landed on Yuntou, and brought him back to Gao Laozhuang.
Gao Yuanwai said, "Gao disciple is very capable!" Director Yang Jie gave the lines in a flat tone, and now it's up to Tang Qin's free play.
"Amitabha." Tang Qin clasped his hands together and said slowly.
Director Yang Jie and Deputy Director Ren Fengpo glanced at each other, both of them had something strange in their eyes, Tang Qin entered the play quickly, this expression was just right, and Tang Seng's elegance and quietness were also expressed.
Looking at the appearance again, Tang Qin is very in line with the characteristics of Tang Seng's "fine skin and tender meat" and "full and round" in the original work, and Tang Qin himself has a melancholy temperament, which invisibly adds more charm to the Tang Seng he plays.
Director Yang Jie read, "Sun Wukong pushed Zhu Bajie to Tang Seng and didn't see the master yet. β
I saw Tang Qin's body retreat slightly, and then stared at Zhu Bajie, and then turned his head and asked Sun Wukong, "Why does he worship me?" β
Regression, this action is very well designed, Director Ren Fengpo nodded slightly, Yang Jie seemed to be thoughtful, "He, like his disciple, was taught by Guanyin Bodhisattva, and he wished to protect the master to shoot in the west." β
Tang Qin's face was overjoyed, he put his palms together in the air, and said slowly, "Thank you Guanyin Bodhisattva, Wukong will loosen his ties quickly." β
The voice is elegant and expressive, Yang Jie nodded secretly, just one sentence, an expert can see an actor's line skills, now she is not worried about Tang Qin's performance.
"Master, Guanyin Bodhisattva also gave me a Dharma name, called Zhu Wu Neng, I also quit five meat and three hates, I met the master today, I can open meat, right?" Yang Jie's original expression of reading the lines dryly immediately changed to Zhu Bajie's naΓ―ve tone.
"No, you quit five meats and three hates, how about I give you another alias, called Bajie?" Tang Qin's face slowly changed, both serious and loving, it was completely like a master admonishing his apprentice, he did not use his expression to show it, but used his tone to enhance this feeling.
"You see, he's got my emotions going, that's good."
Frightened, delighted, serious, loving, in just a few minutes, Tang Qin performed a compassionate, sincere, and pious Tang Seng to the fullest.
"Have you ever made a movie or TV series before?" Director Yang Jie couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't you say it the day before yesterday." β
"I really haven't filmed film and television dramas, and I am self-taught in drama acting." Tang Qin replied.
Self-study?
Director Yang Jie didn't believe it on his face, if everyone is self-taught, why do you want the School of Drama of the Film Academy?
The young man in front of him, from the lines, to the expression, to the action, to the virtual shaping of the environment, it is estimated that those who have played the protagonists of two or three movies are not so powerful, that is, the last Tang monk Wang Yue, a college student who graduated from the drama performance major and is serious, will be overshadowed in front of Tang Qin.
"Not bad." The door opened, and a woman walked in.
