Chapter 0389: Father and Son and Little Actor

And it's also the highest institution I went to, a graduate student at the Drama Research Institute of BJ University!

There is no need to go into details.

Ma Li really loves acting.

It's a pity that this graduate student just gave her a boost and let her enter the drama circle.

And it's still a comedy.

However, this is actually her own choice, because she knows very clearly that she can only play a more important role in comedy.

It is possible to use comedy as a springboard to get out of the drama world and enter the film industry.

In fact, her choice was not wrong, and the follow-up Ma Li, indeed, shined on the road of comedy, not only appeared on the Spring Festival Gala many times, but also sold well at the box office and became a popular first-line female star.

So Ma Li is actually a person who is very clear about her strengths and weaknesses.

It is precisely because she has a clear understanding of herself that after she got this audition invitation, although she still doesn't know what kind of role she is in, she can roughly deduce it based on her own personal characteristics.

This character is definitely a petite, pretty, and cute traditional female character.

I'm afraid that this role should be in the direction of an independent woman who works hard for her career.

So before the audition, Ma Li decisively cut her long hair short in order to better play various roles in the drama.

It makes the whole person's temperament look sassy and neat.

And this image is also the image that Xu Hengzhou will have a few years later, which Ma Li will be more familiar with.

It is precisely because of this image that Zhang Songwen feels that Ma Li's appearance does not meet his expectations for this role.

But just in terms of acting skills and temperament, he still recognizes this actress very much.

So he is also looking forward to letting the actress pass the preliminary examination and enter the second examination, and whether the plot of the character in the script will be different.

There's no way, the other actresses are even worse, and most of their looks, temperament and acting skills are only passable.

Therefore, Ma Li, who has passed two levels, is already considered to be one of these actresses who meet the requirements of the role.

By the time the second retest was conducted, Ma Li really surprised Xu Hengzhou and Zhang Songwen!

If you talk about the first audition, Ma Li is a performance of this character state that will have in different time and space.

Then in the second audition, Ma Li carefully read the script and studied the character design, but she was playing a very real person, especially the logic of this character.

This is a strong and middle-class role.

Because of the family element, she is extremely lacking in love, and it is precisely because of this that she worries about all the things of the people around her, but this worry is very strong.

So it's a thankless act, and it's precisely because of this that the male protagonist chooses to break up with her.

That's why her colleagues and friends around her maintain a superficial intimacy, but in fact they are estranged from her.

When she felt all this, she felt more and more lonely, and felt that the more she wanted to get, the more she couldn't get it, so she felt resentful.

would break the jar after a drunkenness, half for the opportunity for promotion, but because of heartbreak, he agreed to the temptation of being sent back to the hotel alone by the boss, but he regretted it at the last moment, but it was too late.

After Ma Li finished studying the role, she grasped the character of this character very accurately, which made Zhang Songwen feel a sense of sudden enlightenment.

Zhang Songwen has always felt that this role should belong to the kind of beautiful and excellent independent women, but in fact, he always feels that he has lost some key cognition of this role.

He just simply thinks that he can become the ex-girlfriend of the male protagonist, and at the same time he is the object of the unspoken rules, so he should be more feminine.

But Ma Li's performance broke his stereotype, and at the same time allowed him to find a position for this role.

This right-hand woman is a strong person at work, but a weak person in life.

A strong man intellectually and a weak person emotionally.

These orientations have nothing to do with what the character looks like.

Zhang Songwen feels that it is still the reason for his own mindset.

He really hasn't been exposed to too many complex female characters before.

Because of this kind of complex female characters, they are generally more important supporting roles or protagonists.

He is not qualified to play against these characters, so he doesn't know much.

Zhang Songwen feels that he still has a lot to learn, and he is also impressed by Ma Li, an actor.

Therefore, when Xu Hengzhou decided to let Ma Li play this role, he was also very much in favor.

All the worries in Xu Hengzhou's heart were dispelled by Ma Li's performance, no matter from which point of view, she is very suitable for this role.

At the same time, because he came into contact with Ma Li, he was also thinking about another thing, should he take a bus and work with the team of Happy Twist?

But that's all for later.

Ma Li was completely incredulous when she learned that she had been given the role.

Originally, she was still spinning in the drama circle, and she played a trick in film and television works at most, so she got an important role in a movie?

For so many years, it has to be very hard to be able to really hope to be an actor, and now it is just two auditions to get it directly?

Ma Li was in a trance for a long time, until after many days of auditions, the last two roles in this movie still couldn't be decided.

She came to her senses and was very active in asking the crew about the situation and following up on the development of this matter.

One of the actors was quickly decided again, but it was not selected through auditions, but was directly invited by Xu Hengzhou to play.

Xu Hengzhou has struggled for a long time for the selection of this actor.

Because the role he wants to play is very important to the plot of this whole movie, and it can be said that he is the soul of this movie.

When Xu Hengzhou rewrote the script, he rewrote the entire character relationship line.

The character setting is naturally completely different from the original.

The distant nephew of the male protagonist, the soul of this movie, is a middle-aged man in his 30s who is tortured by reality to the point that he looks extremely old.

He has a six-year-old son who is congenitally terminally ill.

This six-year-old boy is the seventh protagonist in Xu Hengzhou's movie.

It can be said that the series of things experienced by this father and son at the moment of the intersection of parallel time and space are the core story line in the script written by Xu Hengzhou.

Or rather, the whole story is a two-line parallel.

In addition to the plot line that reveals all the clues from the perspective of the hero and heroine, the other most important emotional expression of the story line is carried by this father and son.

Imagine when parallel time and space intersect.

What would a father who was suffering from his child's illness choose to go to another parallel time and space and have a completely healthy son?

When a six-year-old child already has a relatively independent personality, he knows that his illness has brought great burden and pain to his father.

And at this time, when he knew that there was another healthy self in the parallel time and space, this self had a great attraction to his father, how would he choose?

Anyway, when Xu Hengzhou wrote this paragraph in the script, the more excited he became, and the more he wrote, the more excited he became, and he felt that the father and son set up were simply the finishing touch in the whole plot, highlighting a part of human nature.

Because the page where Hui Xing came to the original book actually had most of the brain-burning and sci-fi parts, and the hero and heroine were more used as a lead, leading to the plot of the sci-fi and suspense parts.

Although from the perspective of the heroine and at the end of the end, the part of humanity is clicked, which makes people feel shocked.

But in fact, the content of this part accounts for a very small proportion of the entire movie.

But for Xu Hengzhou, it was precisely this part that shocked him the most.

So when he rewrote the script, he focused on this part of human nature.

The movie "You, Me and Him" is about science fiction and logic, and there are suspenseful parts that need to be reasoned, but more importantly, in such a complex situation, the changes in human nature revealed in the course of the development of things.

Xu Hengzhou felt that he still had some literary cells on his body!

But because of this idea of literature and art, he made the performance of the father and son infinitely more difficult!

After Xu Hengzhou auditioned a group of actors, he still didn't find an actor who matched his positioning for this role in his heart.

It wasn't until he saw Zhang Songwen meditating over there that a string suddenly broke in his mind, and he thought of an actor - Zhang Yi!

Zhang Songwen's popular drama is not a play with this Zhang Yi.

The reason why Xu Hengzhou didn't think of Zhang Yi before was because in his impression, Zhang Yi played more of that kind of military film.

I feel that the temperament is the kind of tough guy.

However, in fact, Zhang Yi's follow-up drama is much more extensive, and in addition to his tough side, he can also play the soft side of many characters.

So Xu Hengzhou directly asked the staff to call the actor over for an audition alone, but after trying one out, Xu Hengzhou immediately decided on the actor!

So there are a total of seven protagonists, and now there is only one protagonist left, and the actor has not yet been decided.

A little boy.

A child star between the ages of 5 and 8 is needed.

The selection of this little actor made Xu Hengzhou feel an unprecedented challenge!

For any director, there are two types of actors who have the most headaches, one is a small actor, and the other is an animal.

The former is even more uncontrollable than the latter.

Therefore, when the little actor auditioned, he cried directly after auditioning.

And he didn't cry because of the plot, or he cried loudly without warning, and when his emotions were out of control, Xu Hengzhou was not surprised at all.

waved his hand directly, and asked the staff to lead the little actor out to find his parents.

Then, let the next actor in.

This little actor event has been going on for three days, and more than 300 young actors have auditioned.

I didn't find anyone who could use it.

Xu Hengzhou even began to lower his requirements, since the actor is not good, the actress is also good, is there a little girl between the ages of 5 and 8 who can be sent to audition to see.

It turned out to be nothing.

The main thing is that the little girl he wants to find must also be the kind of character that meets the character requirements of the character, to be tender, hard, and heavy, to have her own thoughts, and to be serious, but there is no lack of naivety.

In short, there are quite a lot of requirements.

Therefore, it is very difficult to select actors.

But ten minutes later, there have been a lot of child stars in the past few years, such as the two child stars in "The Hidden Corner", and then "Xiao Fan Xian", and then "Little Nezha" in life events, and then Zhao Jinmai......

In short, there are many numbers he can count.

It's a pity that these actors are still too young at the moment.

Or maybe he doesn't have much acting experience, even if he pulls it over, he probably won't go on it.

Xu Hengzhou really didn't expect that the little actor who auditioned next would be Rong Zishan, who was quite impressive in his memory.

is the little male protagonist in "The Hidden Corner".

He is exactly 7 years old this year.

There is also a 7-year difference between the age and the TV series "The Hidden Corner" when he starred in the TV series.

The face is more immature than Xu Hengzhou's impression, but the temperament is very similar.

Belongs to the kind of shy and good boy who seems to be very serious.

Carrying a small school bag, he introduced himself as a second-grader.

I have filmed some commercials before, participated in the drama club in school, and at the same time applied for acting classes and learned some acting things, but I have not officially starred in film and television dramas.

……

After listening to the other party's self-introduction, Xu Hengzhou gave him a question without expectations and asked the other party to perform.

After all, the difference between 7 and 14 years old is still quite large.

He definitely doesn't have the acting skills of a 14-year-old at this time, and it is estimated that he will not be able to play this role.

However, this little actor performed better than Xu Hengzhou expected!

Especially the temperament, which has been vaguely about seven years later.

Shy and slightly melancholy, he felt that there was something hidden in his eyes.

After Xu Hengzhou saw the other party's performance, he began to think that such a young child has this kind of look, could it be that he was forced by his family to come out to act?

Could it be that their family owes a lot of debt?

Need children to come out and act to pay back?

But after the child's performance was over, he glanced in the direction of the door, and met the parents who were guarding the door with a smile of encouragement and a soft toothless smile, revealing a sunny smile.

Xu Hengzhou immediately felt that the family was probably quite in love with each other, and the temperament revealed in the performance just now was probably just that people were born with good acting skills!

This is talent, God appreciates food.

Fortunately, Xu Hengzhou didn't do a round or two, so he directly let the young actor read a script and explained it to him by the way, after all, he is only in the second grade of primary school, and there are many rare words that he doesn't know!

Then let the little actor perform this scene according to his own understanding.
