"You can't find a handsome guy for this role, you have to be a little dirty." Fang Xing looked at the actor's resume in his hand, looking for a suitable actor.

Fang Xing is now auditioning for the role of "Black Skin", and he wants to find an actor who looks a little dirty.

However, the photos on the actors' resumes are basically very handsome.

It's just that "Crazy Stone" really doesn't need handsome guys, not any of them.

"These resumes are returned and asked to send back photos without makeup." Fang Xing picked out a stack of actors' resumes and handed them to Wang Yutao.

Wang Yutao is now the casting director of the crew of "Crazy Stone", responsible for part of the casting work.

After "Ancient Acacia" became popular, Wang Yutao's fame also rose.

is similar to Zhang Yigao's situation, after becoming famous, some film and television companies began to want to invest in him to make dramas.

However, when he could only shoot MVs and commercials, he did not leave Ark Culture, and he will not leave now.

This time.

Fang Xing wants to hit the big screen, and the first movie he made is very important, so he recalled many old guys from the original crew.

Wang Yutao took the initiative to invite him into the crew, and he also hoped that he could rush to the big screen with Fang Xing.

He loves the feeling of working together.

Besides, movies and TV series are very different, and in the process, you can learn a lot.

The first movie is very important, and Fang Xing also hopes that there are old guys from the past around him, so that there will be a lot of tacit understanding when working like this.

The original team of the original director team, including Wang Yutao, came back.

Everyone else has jobs and can't come back and make movies together.

However, everyone still had a meal together and chatted about the current situation.

The assistant directors of the Ark Culture crew have all mixed well, and some have already filmed one or two online dramas, and they have achieved a little success.

……

The casting of "Crazy Stone" this time is completely different from the previous TV series, so at the beginning, the audition work of the crew was relatively slow.

After several auditions and Fang Xing's requirements for the role, the resumes of the actors screened by the crew are closer to the roles.

Today is the third round of auditions for "Crazy Stone".

There weren't as many actors on guard outside the audition venue as there used to be.

If Fang Xing's new drama had been auditioned two years ago, hundreds of actors would have stayed outside, hoping to get a chance.

There are indeed people who have starred in Fang Xing's dramas in this way, and they have mixed well in the industry.

Fang Xing flipped through the resumes of the actors who made an appointment for today's audition.

Most of these actors have acted in some movies and TV series.

After all, the age requirement for the roles in this movie is relatively large, and some roles directly require the actors to be over forty years old.

An actor of this age must have played a lot of roles.

However, most of them are not red.

The film and television industry is like this, it is better to rely on acting skills than on face.

is handsome, and the capital can gain a lot of fans with a handful of it, even if the acting skills are not recognized, it is easy to become popular.

If you don't look handsome, even if you have good acting skills, whether you can be popular can only depend on fate.

In general, the entertainment industry is still an industry that relies on its face to eat.

Unfortunately, Fang Xing wants to shoot "Crazy Stone" this time, and he doesn't need handsome actors, so the actors who auditioned for the audition are relatively ordinary.

There are some actors who have been in the industry for more than 20 years and have filmed hundreds of small roles, but the audience still can't remember their names.

Wang Yutao divided the resumes of the actors who auditioned this morning into three stacks: "According to the appointment time, one hour a bunch, first-come, first-served audition." ”

"See if any of the actors have arrived? If you get there, let's get started. Fang Xing motioned for the audition to begin.

Wang Yutao got up in person, went out to see the situation, and then arranged for the staff at the door to let the actors come in for auditions in the order of first come, first served.

The first actor came in, looking to be in his forties, wearing shirts and trousers, no makeup, and relatively dignified appearance, looking like an ordinary middle-aged uncle.

However, Fang Xing is a little familiar with him, and he has often seen him in movies and TV series, but he plays small roles and has not paid attention to his name.

"Hello directors, my name is Liu Xiancheng, and I want to audition for the role of 'Bao Shihong'." Liu Xiancheng looks polite and gentlemanly.

"Bao Shihong" is the male protagonist in "Crazy Stone", and his identity is the head of the security section of the handicraft factory.

In the movie, "Bao Shihong" doesn't have any big pursuits, he just wants an ordinary life.

However, this character is a very persistent person, who attended a police academy when he was young and was responsible for the security of the jade exhibition in the movie.

Crazy stone, the name of the movie already makes it clear, this movie is related to a "stone".

And this stone is a piece of jade, a priceless jadeite.

Therefore, it attracted a lot of thieves and thieves who wanted to steal this jadeite.

"Bao Shihong" is the person responsible for catching thieves.

Of course, this movie is a comedy, so the process of stealing jadeite and catching thieves will make a lot of jokes.

Wang Yutao took out Liu Xiancheng's resume from his resume and sent it to other members of the director team.

Fang Xing looked at his resume and chatted simply: "Mr. Liu has acted in a lot of plays." ”

Liu Xiancheng nodded and replied: "I have been in the market for twenty-five years, and I have indeed acted in a lot of dramas. ”

Fang Xing quickly read the resume and asked, "Our play is a comedy, and you don't seem to make many comedies." ”

Liu Xiancheng nodded and replied: "I have acted in some comedies, but there are really not many." However, I want to try it, there are many ways to perform comedy, and it depends on what effect the director wants. ”

There are indeed many ways to shoot comedies, one is to rely on the actors themselves to be funny, the most typical is Stephen Chow's early films.

In addition, comedy can also create laughter from the plot, and actors can act according to the feature film.

Fang Xing thought for a while, took a cigarette from Wang Yutao, and asked, "Do you usually smoke?" ”

Liu Xiancheng shook his head and replied, "I quit a few years ago." ”

Fang Xing handed over the cigarette and said, "Going to the toilet with a cigarette in my mouth, I want the feeling that I can't pee." ”

For actors, no matter what strange performance requirements the director makes, they have to find a way to do it.

Therefore, Liu Xiancheng was not surprised at all when he heard this request, took the cigarette, put it to his mouth, put his hands on the belt, and began to perform.

The focus of this performance is mainly on the face.

It is impossible to shoot the camera down, so it is necessary to show on the face that you want to pee and can't pee.

However, Liu Xiancheng is still a little too gentlemanly, and he doesn't have the feeling of being a little irritable and unhappy in the performance.

After Fang Xing finished reading it, he felt that he was not quite suitable for the role of "Bao Shihong", so he asked, "Do you mind changing the role?" ”

Liu Xiancheng thought for a moment and asked, "What role?" ”

Fang Xing said: "The staff of the security department is a supporting role, and I think Teacher Liu is very suitable. However, there are not many scenes, so Mr. Liu can consider it first. ”

Liu Xiancheng nodded and replied: "After seeing the script, I will contact the crew." ”

"Yes. Thank you for coming to audition. Fang Xing got up and sent him out.

After all, he has been an old-timer for 25 years, and Fang Xing still respects him very much.

This morning, the main audition was for the role of "Bao Shihong", so the actors who came to audition were basically coming for this role.

This is the male lead of "Crazy Stone", and if the movie becomes popular, it will also be an opportunity for the actors.

After auditioning for three actors.

The fourth actor came in and introduced himself:

"Hello directors, my name is Guo Shi, this is my resume." Guo Shi sent the resume in his hand to everyone present.

Fang Xing took the resume and asked while reading it: "I graduated from Chinese opera, but I don't seem to have played many roles." ”

Guo Shi nodded and replied: "Yes, it's been almost 20 years since I graduated, and I have done some behind-the-scenes work during this period, so there are not many roles, and there are four or five scenes with a little more." ”

Fang Xing looked up at him a few times, and made a request: "Can you mess up your hair a little?" ”

Guo Shi came to audition, he was more sincere, he didn't wear makeup, but he still got his hair a little, which is basically polite.

From a professional point of view, actors audition usually require no makeup.

However, many actresses audition and wear makeup.

After all, many actresses, with and without makeup, are completely two people.

It's just that directors usually don't have a good first impression of the actors who make up and audition.

Relatively speaking, male actors are much more honest and usually don't make up auditions.

Especially an actor like Guo Shi, who is already forty years old.

At this age, it doesn't matter how good you look, when you audition, you are more willing to show a professional attitude towards the actor industry.

Washing up is definitely a matter of course, though, and it's basic courtesy.

Therefore, Guo Shi came after washing his hair, and his hair was combed, which looked relatively neat.

However, Fang Xing wanted to see how his hair was messy, so he made this request.

Guo Shi hurriedly used his hands to scratch his head and scratch his hair, and then asked, "Is this okay?" ”

Fang Xing took out a cigarette from the cigarette case on the table, handed it over, and said, "Go to the toilet with a cigarette in your mouth, facing the urinal, I want to show on my face that I can't pee." ”

Guo Shi took the cigarette, put it in his mouth, and then began to untie the belt, his face showing the uncomfortable feeling of wanting to be freed, but being stuck.

Because of the cigarette in his mouth, he is still a little lazy.

Fang Xing watched it and felt that his state was okay, so he began to add drama: "I can't pee, and my temper is very short-tempered." ”

Guo Shi raised his hand and began to grab his hair, showing a very irritable state.

Fang Xing continued to add drama: "Lost his temper and kicked the toilet pipe with one kick." ”

Guo Shi raised his foot and kicked out.

The whole state, it's okay.

Fang Xing smiled, and then said: "Start again, urinating with a cigarette, I couldn't pee at first, but after trying for a while, I finally came out." ”

Guo Shi's expression was distressed at first, and then his face suddenly showed an expression of liberation, and the feeling of pleasure was all written on his face.

Fang Xing flipped out a page of script, handed it over, and said, "Play this scene again, you found that an expensive piece of jade in charge of security was dropped." You are persistent and vow to catch the thief. ”

Guo Shi performed surprise and panic as required, and then showed a persistent expression.

After the show.

Fang Xing and Wang Yutao discussed.

"I feel okay, it's very close to the script." Wang Yutao expressed his opinion.

Fang Xing felt the same way.

However, there are still actors who have not auditioned later, and I am not sure if there is a more suitable one.

Therefore, after discussing with several assistant directors, Fang Xing said: "Thank you Mr. Guo for the audition, we will contact you within three days." ”

Most of the crew, whether the audition is passed or not, will not be decided on the spot.

Sometimes, the director has to go back and watch the audition video.

Guo Shi has auditioned for many crews, so he knows this very well, and after bowing and thanking him, he withdrew.

Next.

Fang Xing auditioned for five or six more actors, all of whom came to audition for "Bao Shihong", but their performance was not as good as Guo Shi's.

After auditioning for these actors, Fang Xing took a fancy to Guo Shi and asked the crew to contact Guo Shi and prepare to sign a film contract.

After Guo Shi auditioned, he went home.

He is married, has children, and has a happy family life.

However, he didn't get any achievements as an actor, he can only say that he is a job where he can earn money to support his family, that's all.

Every actor has a dream of being an actor, and he is no exception.

Therefore, he will also dream of coming to the stage to accept the award and say the acceptance speech.

It's just that after working in this industry for 20 years, he is already forty years old, and his appearance is relatively ordinary, and if he wants to achieve something, the chance is very small.

However, after he finished the audition today, when he returned home in the evening, he received a call from the Ark Culture crew, saying that he had passed the audition.

It was a surprise for him.

Although Ark Culture has not yet proved its strength in movies, Fang Xing can be said to be soft in winning awards in TV series.

If this movie is successful, it will be a qualitative leap for him.

He didn't dare to ask for the luxury of being selected by a hot director in the film industry to play the leading role.

After all, the appearance and age are there, and there is no popular character, it is already a very lucky thing to be selected by Fang Xing as the leading actor.

For him, being able to play the leading role in Fang Xing's movie is already the best opportunity he can get.

Therefore, when he received a call from the Ark Culture crew, he was very excited.

In fact, when he auditioned, he could already feel that Fang Xing was more satisfied with him.

If the director is not satisfied with the actor's image and acting skills, he will not give so many opportunities to audition for additional plays.

When the director auditioned, he kept adding scenes, which means that the previous performances met the director's requirements, and the director wanted to see more things, so he would add plays.

When he auditioned today, Fang Xing added three more scenes to him, and he was obviously satisfied with him.

Of course, whether you can pass the audition in the end depends on the situation of other competitors.

If the other actors who audition perform better, the result is still hard to say.

After Guo Shi put down his mobile phone, he jumped up excitedly, rushed over and hugged his wife and kissed him, and then hugged his son and kissed him.

"What's wrong? So nervous today? His wife gave him a blank look.

"I passed the audition." Guo Shi said excitedly.

"Didn't you pass the audition, as for being so excited?" His wife didn't know which crew he was going to audition for.

For actors, they often go to the crew to audition, but the success rate of getting the role is not high.

Therefore, before Guo Shi went to the audition, he would not mention this matter to his family, and regarded it as a daily job.

Now that the audition has passed, he is so excited that he said: "It's Fang Xing's movie, and I play the leading actor." ”

"Is that Fang awake?" Of course, the wife had heard Fang Xing's name, but she wasn't sure if what her husband said was the Fang Xing she thought she was.

"That's it, just the one you like to watch the most." Guo Shi said excitedly.

His wife's eyes widened suddenly: "You want to play the male protagonist of Fang Xing?" Hasn't he always played the leading role himself? ”

"This time it's different, this time the actor looks like me, he's too handsome, it's not suitable." Guo Shi said proudly.
