Chapter 0386 - "Xiao Zhang"
Xu Hengzhou only changed one condition at a time, and the later he came, the more subtle the changes to the setting of the role that the auditioner needed to play.
So much so that many actors have already begun to repeat their previous performance routines when they reach their fourth or fifth performances.
It can be said that the actor who came in to audition at the beginning was able to hold on to the sixth and seventh performances until the sixth and seventh times, which is already very good acting skills and has a lot of acting experience.
In Xu Hengzhou's imagination, it is enough that the first four performances can not be the same, and each has its own characteristics.
It shouldn't sound like a lot of difficulty.
In fact, most of the actors who were invited to audition were particularly experienced actors.
Most of them were able to do something completely different from the first four performances.
However, it was very difficult for each of the four performances to have their own characteristics.
So he interviewed about five or six actors, but he still didn't find the actor he liked.
However, Xu Hengzhou is not in a hurry, because he still has a lot of resumes on hand.
You can pick slowly.
After the morning auditions, take an hour's break, and soon it's time for the afternoon auditions.
Outside the audition room.
After the first person in line went in to audition, the remaining actors waiting for the audition talked in a whisper, mainly to discuss how long it would take for the actor to survive the first few rounds of performances after entering.
After a morning of auditions, everyone knows what questions will be given in this audition.
But it's useless to know, because although the routine is the same, Xu Hengzhou's points are different every time, so in fact, the exam questions faced by each actor are also different.
And this kind of thing is actually based on the accumulation of the past, even if you know the same topic now, your usual accumulation is not enough, and if you can't act, you can't act.
There are a lot fewer people who come to auditions in the afternoon than in the morning, and the number of people who arrange auditions in the morning and afternoon is evenly distributed, so the queue should be generally long, but the queue in the afternoon is actually only 1/3 of the morning.
Because some actors are very self-aware and feel that their abilities are not enough to deal with the performance project of this incident compared to other actors on the scene, they know that they may not be able to pass this audition.
So the people who are queuing up now in the afternoon actually have a certain degree of confidence in their acting skills, and feel that they can pass this audition, and even feel that this role is suitable for them to play.
For example, Yang Zhigang, he participated in the modern military-themed TV series "Fire Blue Blade" broadcast on CCTV TV Drama Channel, in which he played the role of Jiang Xiaoyu, the male number one with a flamboyant tongue, a flexible brain and filial piety.
What to say about this TV series, it is quite popular, although it is not popular among young people, but it is really capable of playing among middle-aged and elderly people.
And Yang Zhigang, an actor, has also been publishing various drafts recently, frantically praising his good acting skills.
Although he has not acted in a movie, it is because Xu Hengzhou does not limit whether the actors invited this time are TV series actors or movie actors.
And more importantly, because of the character's setting, this character is a villain.
And it is also the kind of villain who has committed unforgivable crimes, and it is generally difficult to find a more well-known actor to play this kind of villain.
And Yang Zhigang is actually not so famous, people who belong to that kind of studio feel that if they try to invite, he probably won't refuse the actors of this incident.
So the people from Xu Hengzhou's studio sent an invitation to the actor.
Yang Zhigang didn't think about ordering a movie before, of course, not because he didn't want to, but because he didn't have this opportunity.
He has been acting in anti-Japanese war dramas all these years, rotating between various crews, and feels that his acting skills in this kind of film are definitely much better than those who appear in life dramas and idol dramas, but because of the limitations of the type of anti-Japanese war dramas, he is not very famous.
In this regard, he has always been very dissatisfied, especially with those actors who became popular by starring in other types of TV series, feeling that those actors have no acting skills, and they are loved by the public by taking shortcuts, so they become popular.
Until this time, the TV series he starred in was broadcast on CCTV, and once it was broadcast, the ratings reached the third place.
Yang Zhigang finally raised his eyebrows, feeling that he was finally on fire, and then this time he received an invitation to Xu Hengzhou's newly prepared movie, and he instantly felt that his style was raised.
The other party must have seen that his TV series was hot, and then appreciated his acting skills, so he invited himself to audition.
And I watched it just now, and as far as this role is concerned, none of the actors invited to audition can play.
He is the most famous in the audience, and in terms of acting skills alone, he doesn't think that others can be better than him.
So when the first actor to audition came out in the afternoon, he estimated that the actor only had a short ten minutes to continue the audition, and he definitely didn't survive the fifth round.
Yang Zhigang had a trace of disdain in his heart, but he still had a friendly and honest smile on his face, and cast a comforting look at the actor who came out of the matter, and then passed by the actor and entered the audition room.
Xu Hengzhou glanced at the actor profile in his hand, and then at Yang Zhigang who came in, and from the temperament, he felt that this actor did not match the overall atmosphere of the movie he wanted in his heart.
The main thing is to see this actor, he is really too easy to think of those anti-Japanese dramas he once watched.
And in addition, he doesn't think that the actor has enough acting skills to play the role he wants.
Because before the crossing, he had watched several variety shows in which the actor had participated.
How to say it, this person's acting skills are very rigid, not smart at all, and I feel that they are all performing according to the routine.
Maybe you will think that he acted well after watching it once or twice.
But if you watch it twice or three times, you will feel that although the roles he plays are different, they are all the same way.
Even if his performance in this role is copied into a character in another TV series, you won't find it very abrupt.
Therefore, Xu Hengzhou was not interested in this audition, thinking that the audition would be completed quickly, and then he would see the audition of the next person.
As a result, after the first four rounds of performances ended, Xu Hengzhou could clearly see that since the third round, this person has been a little difficult in performance.
In the previous audition, if the actor found that his performance began to gradually struggle, and after repeating the previous routine, he didn't need Xu Hengzhou to say anything more, and he would stop directly.
Then ended this audition, so Xu Hengzhou didn't say anything this time.
just continued to produce test questions, thinking about letting the actor in front of him retreat from the difficulty, the result.
Who knows what this actor named Yang Zhigang said?
I don't feel like I'm getting worse and worse at all.
Anyway, no matter how tricky the test questions Xu Hengzhou put forward, he just acted hard.
But in fact, the performance is still the same, that is, the very beginning style and the initial character design.
Xu Hengzhou's gaze became more and more dull, and he always felt that what he was watching was not an actor's wonderful performance, but an extreme puppet repeating his movements.
He really couldn't hold back, and when the other party forcibly wanted to perform the seventh round of performances, he directly shouted to stop, saying that this matter was over and the other party could go out.
After Yang Zhigang heard what the student said, he was stunned, why did the audition end, he hadn't performed enough.
He still wanted to continue performing, so when Xu Hengzhou shouted to stop for the first time, he didn't hear it, and continued to perform as if he was immersed in his performance.
When Xu Hengzhou shouted to stop again after two or three seconds, he ended the performance in a not very good mood.
And muttered in his heart, feeling that Xu Hengzhou, a young man, was really not very polite.
No matter how I say it, he is more than ten years older than Xu Hengzhou, and he is his senior.
As a result, Xu Hengzhou didn't respect him at all and kept interrupting his performance.
But for Xu Hengzhou's sake, he endured it.
After he received the notification that the audition was passed, the next role was followed.
When the crew was working with Xu Hengzhou, they must talk to this young junior and teach him what respect is.
At this moment, Yang Zhigang can fully deduce that he must be the best one among all the actors who auditioned at this moment.
No matter from what point of view, Xu Hengzhou will definitely choose himself to play this role.
So when he went out, the smile on his face was a little more confident and wanton than before he came in.
At the same time, he finally had a leisurely mood, looking around, looking for someone he had seen once or two in the crowd who had not yet auditioned, had a little connection, and could talk, and wanted to talk to each other about his mood at the moment.
After Yang Zhigang looked around, he looked back again, and finally found an inconspicuous, not tall, ordinary-looking actor in a corner.
The actor had previously worked with other crews for a while.
That is, for a short period of time.
Because the role played by this actor is a role that can be filmed in three days.
So it took him a long time to match this face with the face of the actor he worked with.
But the other party's name, he really forgot it.
Just remember one last name.
remembers the other party's surname because at that time he heard other people in the crew call him "Brother Zhang".
With an affectionate smile on his face, Yang Zhigang walked over and patted this Brother Zhang on the shoulder and shouted, "Xiao Zhang, do you remember my brother?" ”
This little Zhang looks more stable than Yang Zhiwen just by looking at his appearance, but judging from his age, there should be not much difference between the two people.
"Xiao Zhang" just smiled, looking a little shy.
Yang Zhigang instantly felt the weakness of the other party from the other party's non-aggressive smile, and immediately raised his tone:
"Yes, that's right, it's the crew you only stayed in for three days three months ago, I played the leading actor in it, the role you played, anyway, I didn't say a few words to the character I played, but I still remember you."
"Xiao Zhang" nodded, still with the same expression and smile just now, but there was a hint of doubt in his eyes when he looked at Yang Zhigang.
Yang Zhigang is very happy to explain this Xiao Zhang:
"Harm, seeing each other is fate, I want to tell you about the audition just now.
I don't think you have to be scared when you get in, and I don't have to look at this audition that hard.
Anyway, I went on round by round, and it was the sixth and seventh round.
And it's not like other actors, who didn't stay in it long before they came out.
I've probably been in it for the longest time of all the people who auditioned......"
When Xiao Zhang heard this, he finally figured out what this Yang Zhigang wanted to do when he suddenly came to his side.
After listening to a few words silently, he only went in and out of his left ear, but he didn't immediately interrupt the other party.
Just thinking about his own business.
Originally, he received an audition invitation from this crew, but he didn't have too much hope, because many of the crews who gave him audition invitations over the years have cast a wide net.
Most of the time, he auditioned in vain.
Even many roles were already predetermined, and even sent him an audition invitation, purely to bring him over and go through the motions.
He even comes to auditions sometimes, and he already knows about this situation beforehand, but he still works hard to prepare for every event, will participate in every event, and never miss any chance of possibility.
It is precisely because of this that although he has not been able to catch any important roles over the years, there are always some corner scenes that can be filmed.
It is precisely because of his long-term perseverance in brushing up on his presence that most of the staff in the industry remember him as a person.
What happens to the crew, such as an actor in a small role who has an accident, as long as he is looking for him, he will definitely be available at any time, he can go up, and it is inexpensive.
The salary is not much, but he can meet any performance requirements put forward by the director.
Although the return of his efforts is very small, it is always rewarded, and "Xiao Zhang" has always believed that the emperor has lived up to his hard work.
Even he felt that the crew of the movie "You, Me and Him" prepared by Xu Hengzhou this time was able to find him for an audition, which was already a very big progress, and it was a reward for his efforts.
Because it's a movie.
This is the first time a film crew has come to him for an audition.
So even though he didn't have any hope for the audition, he did his best to get everything he needed to prepare.
He even spent a whole month reviewing every role he had played before, and carefully reviewed all the existing acting skills he had learned.
When he arrived at the audition site, he found that all the actors who came to the audition were basically not well-known and didn't look very familiar.
"Xiao Zhang" smelled a completely different flavor from the types of actors who were invited to audition.
