"All the middle school actors who auditioned today are not good."

After a busy day, Fang Xing was very dissatisfied with the audition results.

The people invited to audition today are all relatively young actors, and the first requirement is to play middle school students.

The actors who came to audition met the requirements of middle school students in terms of image.

However, most of these actors have acted in TV series, and it can be clearly seen that they have acting experience.

Having acting experience is a good thing for the average crew, and it can save a lot of things.

It's just that the other party wakes up and says, that's not necessarily a good thing.

It's okay to have acting experience, but when you play a middle school student, you can't show traces of acting.

Because Ark Culture is now too famous, after the news of the casting of the new drama was released, major film and television companies sent artists to audition, and these artists have long been no blank slate.

There are even some who have participated in many variety shows and other shows, and they are not stage frightened at all when they meet and greet each other, but this kind of social atmosphere can sometimes become an obstacle to performance.

"Director Fang's requirements are too high." The casting director was helpless.

He had already screened it according to the requirements before sending an audition invitation, but none of them passed.

"What then? If one or two are not suitable, it can be solved, and now none of them can be solved, then there is a problem with the direction. Zhang Yigao also expressed his helplessness.

In fact, during the audition, he felt that the performances of several actors were okay, but Fang Xing was not satisfied with all of them.

Fang Xing thought about it for a while and said, "That's it, let's find a new person to act." Communicate with major art schools and go to school auditions. ”

When the casting director heard this method, he felt that the workload was going to increase dramatically this time.

In the general casting of the crew, an audition invitation is sent to the actors' union, and if there are eligible actors, they will send their resumes, and then screen them according to their resumes, and finally send an audition invitation.

It's just that this time it's not suitable for this method, because the actors to be selected are to play middle school students, and the best way is to find them in the school.

Also, there is another benefit to going to the school.

Students in school are originally students, and playing students can be said to be in their true colors, which will be much simpler.

……

Week 2.

The Ark Cultural Drama Team contacted major art academies and borrowed classrooms in schools for auditions.

Day 1.

The crew went to the Tokai Film Academy first.

Fang Xing had acquaintances here, so he first went to say hello to Xu Zhiwen, the professor of Dongying, and chatted about the new drama.

Xu Zhiwen half-jokingly said: "Is there a role I can play in the new drama?" ”

Fang Xing sighed with emotion: "You can't act, the Gao Qiqiang you played is now deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, if you put it in the new drama, the audience will definitely say that the characters in the whole drama are not enough for you to play alone." ”

"Haha, I'm guessing you'd say that. I've heard that you're looking for someone new this time. Come to our film school, the students in our school are the best. Xu Zhiwen is very confident in this.

"Why don't Professor Xu recommend a few to me?" Fang Xing proposed.

"No need to recommend, I have already posted the audition time you sent to the group, asking all the students in my class to participate in the audition, and then come back to write the audition summary and hand in the homework." Xu Zhiwen heard that Fang Xing was going to come to Donghai Film Academy to audition for a new actor, so he directly arranged such an assignment.

"It's almost time, it's time for me to pass." Fang Xing looked at the time, it was almost time for the audition.

"Okay, okay, let's go." Xu Zhiwen got up to send him off.

……

Fang Xing and Xu Zhiwen walked together to the teaching building where the audition was arranged.

As soon as he arrived at the front of the teaching building, Fang Xing's eyes widened suddenly, because the line had already lined up outside the teaching building.

"Isn't the sun going to be too hot this time?" Fang Xing was a little skeptical.

Xu Zhiwen waved his hand and said, "These children have fine skin and tender meat, and they should be sunned more." ”

Some of the girls were fully armed, caps and masks, and were still spraying sunscreen spray vigorously.

After all, he is going to enter the entertainment industry, and he has done a good job in skin care and sun protection.

"I think it's better to move a calling machine."

This is not the first time this has happened, so the Ark culture has been prepared for a long time.

Fang Xing arranged for the assistant director to prepare the calling machine, and the students who took the number could go to other classrooms to rest.

It starts at nine a.m.

The Ark Culture crew officially began auditioning.

Since these people who come to audition are basically students, and most of them have not participated in film and television dramas, the performance of the audition is uneven.

Every time a group of students comes in, a group of ten people, and the assistant director looks at the image and sends an A4 paper script, there are only three or four lines.

After a group of auditions, Fang Xinghui left one or two okay, plus one more scene.

With this arrangement, you can basically audition for a group in more than 20 minutes.

Two or three sets an hour.

Hundreds of students auditioned in one morning.

Fang Xing's role is okay, he will draw a mark on his resume, and after interviewing several art schools, he will compare and select the best candidate.

……

in other classrooms.

Film school students waiting for auditions sit in groups of three or five in the classroom whispering.

Every time a student who has finished an audition comes out, someone will surround him and ask:

"How? How about auditions? Is the director murderous? Did you see Fang Xing? ”

"The director is not fierce, but I feel like I'm out of action."

"How so? Did the director say on the spot that he didn't pass? ”

"That's not true, it's just that after a group of people auditions, one or two will be left for the second round, and those who are not left to add drama should all be out of play."

"Is it so strict?" Some students are feeling a lot of pressure.

"If Fang Xing comes to audition in person, it will definitely be strict. The last time, when we were looking for actors for "Hurricane", our professor auditioned in the classroom, and we were all there. ”

"That's right, Fang Xing auditioned actors, and he was really notoriously strict."

Xu Zhiwen walked into the classroom, heard some students talking, and then raised his hand and said, "Students, don't be nervous, today's audition is an experience."

"First of all, auditions can't be afraid of failure in the first place.

"I used to interview more than 200 crews a year, and none of the crews used me, if failing the audition is equivalent to a real failure, then I can fail more than 200 times a year.

"The second point, Director Fang Xing is a good director, he is indeed very strict, but as long as you get his approval and join the crew, I guarantee that you can learn a lot.

"So, come on, students, don't miss this opportunity."

The students present replied loudly: "Got it, Professor Xu!" ”

Among the many voices shouting about the professor, there were one or two who were deliberately funny: "Got it, Brother Qiang!" ”

Xu Zhiwen added: "Moreover, let me tell you a secret news, the heroine of Fang Xing's new drama is...... Song Li. Therefore, this drama is likely to hit the awards, this is a good opportunity, and it must not be missed. ”

Before, when chatting, Fang Xing and Xu Zhiwen talked about Song Li playing the heroine.

Although the crew has not yet made an official announcement, there is no need to hide this matter.

Besides, a TV series like this, which is very popular before filming has started, will spread all kinds of rumors during casting.

Which star is going to play the male lead.

Which little flower wants to play the heroine.

Similar gossip news will spread in the preparatory stage.

Some of them are written by self-media in order to earn traffic, and some are fake news released by small stars in order to gain popularity.

……

The students present were even more excited when they heard that Song Li was going to play the heroine.

"Is Song Li really sure she wants to play the heroine? But Song Li has only made a drama in two or three years, and the last drama was only broadcast last year, so she will take on a new drama so soon? ”

"Didn't you say that Song Li is filming dramas now, all for awards? Does this drama have the potential to win awards? ”

"It's not surprising, "Hurricane" has just won three awards from the Flying Eagle Award, and Fang Xing is basically the new director with the greatest potential under the three major directors, and he is still self-directed and self-acted, which is a bit scary."

"Let me mix up a character in this show. It doesn't matter if you don't have lines. ”

For these students, as long as they can participate, even if it is a role without lines, then they can write the name of the show on their resumes in the future.

If this drama wins an award, then this resume will have a high gold content.

……

After a two-hour break at noon, auditions continue in the afternoon.

Auditions went through until six p.m.

More than 200 students were interviewed.

Among them, there are indeed some potential, and Fang Xing has marked them on his resume.

However, this form of audition is like an audition, and you need to go back and compare before you can make a decision.

At 6:10 a.m., the last group of students auditioned.

The crew began to pack their things and prepare to go back.

There were many students waiting outside the door, and when they saw Fang Xing coming out, they surrounded him and greeted him excitedly: "Director Fang, Director Fang, I am your fan and a fan." ”

Fang Xing chatted with these students as he walked: "Thank you for your support. ”

"Director Fang, this new drama, I heard that Song Li is going to play the heroine, is it true?" The student asked excitedly.

"This matter hasn't been officially announced yet, don't spread the word." Fang Xing didn't have a strict request not to spread the word, but just said it casually.

Song Li's film contract has been signed, and Lijing Culture has invested 30 million as the co-producer of this new drama.

However, there are clauses in the contract that clearly stipulate that Lijing Culture will not interfere in filming.

When I was about to walk to the door of the school building.

A female student hurriedly ran into the school building and asked as she ran, "Where are you auditioning?" Where to audition? ”

She shouted twice, and when she saw Fang Xing appear, she was stunned in place for half a second, and immediately reacted, ran up two steps and asked, "Fang Xing, can I audition?" Am I late? ”

In the film academy, the average student calls Fang Xing "Director Fang", and there are relatively few who call his name directly.

Fang Xing looked at the female student, and when he saw her sweating profusely, his eyes suddenly lit up.

She looks like this, and Moon Dong-eun in middle school, is a little similar.

Between the eyebrows, there is still a little bit of resemblance to Song Li.

After Fang Xing looked at it a few times, he asked, "Which major are you?" How much bigger? ”

The female student hurriedly explained: "I am from the Normal University next door, and I have just entered my freshman year. ”

The freshman year did not leave high school life for too long, and his temperament is indeed very much like that of a high school student.

Fang Xing casually took out an A4 paper script from his bag, handed it over and said, "You can try it." ”

The schoolgirl's eyes widened in surprise and she said, "Is it here?" ”

She looked at the students around her and felt very restrained.

This is the gate of the teaching building, and there are many students around, and she feels that too many people are looking at her, and she is very uncomfortable.

Fang Xing saw her expression and thought that she was a student at the Normal University next door, she should have never studied acting, and it was normal to be restrained.

"If you get into the crew, the crew will only be more than the people here.

"Today's audition is over, if you still want to try, try it here, if you don't want to try, then forget it."

The female student hurriedly ran over, sweating profusely, still wanting to try, took the A4 paper and looked at it for a while, and then stammered a little and read the above lines:

"Is it serious that your dream is written on your personal homepage, to be a 'good wife and mother'?"

This line stumbled over the pronunciation.

Fang Xing frowned and corrected: "You are experiencing the script, you are now facing the person who bullied you, this cruel bully has scaled you all over your body, but your dream is to be a 'good wife and mother', the contrast of this drama must be reflected, do it again." ”

"Okay, okay."

The female student quickly changed her surprised expression and recited the lines: "Your ideal is written on your personal homepage, is it serious to be a 'good wife and mother'?" ”

After reading this paragraph, there was a pause.

She skipped the lines of the other characters and continued, "From today onwards, my dream is you, and we must meet again." ”

After this line ended, the script said that Moon Dong-eun showed a hearty smile on his face.

This smile represents a change in the mentality of this underdog, and it is also from this moment that she has made up her mind to take revenge.

This is also the starting point of the heroine's blackening, from this moment on, everything she does in the future is for revenge.

After reading the lines, the schoolgirl saw the "hearty smile" written in the script.

She looked up, the corners of her mouth twitching twice, trying to show the kind of smile that was written in the script.

It's just that she hasn't learned acting, and acting is very unnatural.

If you talk about this interview alone, you actually fail.

It can be seen that she has almost no acting experience.

However, Fang Xing just told her about the play, and the second time she read the lines, she was also stumbling, but there were changes compared with the first time.

It seems to have potential.

Fang Xing thought for a moment and said, "Give me your contact information." It's written on this script. ”

The schoolgirl's eyes widened and she asked in surprise, "Did I pass the audition?" ”

The student next to her looked speechless, thinking that she was thinking too much.

Fang Xing smiled and explained: "The audition results are not coming out so soon, you leave a way first, if there is a demand, someone will contact you." ”

"Okay, okay." Undeterred, the female student pulled out a pen from her bag and wrote down her name and contact information on A4 paper.

Fang Xing took the A4 paper and glanced at it, the name of the female student was "An Xiaoran".

Putting away the A4 paper, Fang Xing and the crew left the Donghai Film Academy, preparing to go to another art school for the second audition the next day.

As for An Xiaoran from this normal university, the performance of the audition cannot be said to be very poor acting, it can only be said that there is no acting skills at all.

After all, it's normal that I'm not from a professional background.

The reason why Fang Xing left her contact information was because he felt that her image really met the requirements.

Today is only the first audition, and who will be selected into the group in the end will be decided after all the auditions are over.
