Chapter 635: Auditions, Special Requirements

In the drama "Know It or Not, It Should Be Green, Fat, Red and Thin", when casting, Fang Xing was very strict with his acting skills.

Not only the starring roles, but also several elder roles are particularly demanding.

In particular, the heroine's grandmother, the "old lady of the Sheng family", needs an old artist with superb acting skills to play it.

There is also the heroine's mother-in-law "Wang Ruofu", who also needs very ingenious acting skills.

The casting of these important roles is even more difficult than the choice of the male and female protagonists.

If Fang Xing wasn't familiar with the actors of the National Theater, the casting of these roles would be really difficult to find.

The candidate for "The Old Lady of the Sheng Family", Fang Xing actually has a goal, and plans to find Zheng Zhihua, who has cooperated with "Langya Bang" before, to play.

However, it also depends on whether Zheng Zhihua is willing to take on this play.

Fang Xing found the head of the National Theater and asked him to visit Teacher Zheng Zhihua's home and hand over the script to her.

Because she had cooperated before, Fang Xing came to visit her at home in person, so Zheng Zhihua was very happy and promised to read the script as soon as possible and give a reply as soon as possible.

Zheng Zhihua is old, and it is inconvenient to wear reading glasses to read the script.

Therefore, she actually rarely takes on dramas.

However, if there is an acquaintance looking for her, she will still ask her granddaughter to come and read the script to her.

A week passed.

Fang Xingcai received a call from Zheng Zhihua's granddaughter, saying that her grandmother had agreed to take the play.

Decide on the candidate for the "old lady of the Sheng family", and the casting will be much simpler later.

……

Because there are some roles, it has been preliminarily determined that they are played by Ark Culture's own artists, and some are actors who have worked together.

Fang Xing has basically cooperated with these actors, so he knows their acting skills.

However, the audition still has to be carried out to ensure that there are no problems before signing the film contract.

These actors are not surprised, they are basically decided, and the audition is basically just a formality.

Fang Xing concentrated on one day, auditioned for this part of the actors, and then asked the company's legal department to negotiate the film contract.

Next.

The large-scale audition for "Know or Not, It Should Be Green, Fat, Red and Thin" officially began.

As before, rent a venue outside the film and television base and arrange auditions.

Among them, some actors who are invited to audition are still filming in the crew, and the venue is arranged outside the film and television base, which will be much more convenient.

The actors who are invited to audition have screened their resumes in advance.

Fang Xing only got the screened resume the day before, took a cursory look, and officially started the audition.

Nine a.m.

After the audition venue was set up, Fang Xing sat behind the desk and continued to look through his resume.

This time, Fang Xing did not sit in the middle, but sat next to the long table.

Because the directors of this drama are Zhang Yigao and Wang Yutao, and Fang Xing is the producer, although the right to speak is higher, I still want to give the two of them a little more autonomy.

The actors who are invited to audition agree on an approximate time, come over according to the time, and then audition in order.

For the convenience of auditions, the casting director will concentrate the audition of actors for the same role in a single time period as much as possible when making an appointment.

The role of the morning audition is the Sheng family's mother-in-law "Wang Ruofu", so the actresses who came in were all around thirty or forty years old.

The actress who auditioned for the first time is also an old acquaintance of Fang Xing.

Liu Minxiu walked into the audition room and greeted: "Hello directors, I'm Liu Minxiu." ”

After speaking, she also winked at Fang Xing.

Fang Xing hurriedly joked: "Sister Spiegel is good. ”

Liu Minxiu is the actor who played the eldest sister "Spiegel" when he collaborated on "The Pretender" before.

Fang Xing played her younger brother in "The Pretender".

So the two have a good relationship, and they usually like to joke with each other when they meet at events.

Liu Minxiu waved her hand and said with a smile: "Today is an audition, you have to be serious." ”

When filming the pretender, Zhang Yigao and Wang Yutao were both assistant directors, so the people in this room are actually old friends.

Fang Xing thought about it for a moment and asked, "Eldest sister has read the audition script, right?" ”

The actors who are invited to audition are all accompanied by a few pages of scripts that highlight the character's personality, so that the actors can feel the role.

Liu Minxiu nodded and replied, "I've seen it, let's talk about it." How to act? ”

Fang Xing rubbed his chin and said, "But Sister Mingjing is too intellectual and too smart, can she play the role of a bit silly in her rectum?" ”

In fact, when Fang Xing saw Liu Minxiu's resume, he felt that she didn't match the image of "Wang Ruofu".

Of course, the image can be adjusted through makeup.

Liu Minxiu was very relaxed and said, "Try it first." ”

Fang Xing nodded, flipped out a page of the script and handed it over, and said, "Okay, you try this scene." When he asked to scold 'Lin Yushuang, you are a slut', he scolded to the extent that the audience was very relieved. ”

"Wang Ruofu" is the grandmother of the Sheng family, with a very strong appearance, from a famous family, and is relatively kind.

Before getting married, "Wang Ruofu" was spoiled, so he didn't have much city, he was a rectum, and he wouldn't catch a man's heart, so he fought with the concubine "Lin Yushuang" for more than ten years, and he was always at a disadvantage.

Overall, the image of this character is a bit silly, the surface is fierce, and it is reasonable to scold her husband for spoiling his concubine and killing his wife, but he will be tricked every time.

When such a role is performed, there must be a stupid feeling, but it is so stupid that the audience likes it very much, especially when scolding the vicious female supporting "slut", it must be scolded so that the audience feels relieved.

Liu Minxiu's acting skills are no problem, but the screen image is a shrewd and capable "Spiegel Sister", and it is more difficult to transform into a somewhat naΓ―ve "Wang Ruofu".

Liu Minxiu read the script, tried it, pointed to the wall and scolded: "Lin Yushuang, you slut!" ”

Scolding is quite refreshing, but the problem is ......

After Fang Xing finished reading it, she always felt that she could go up and tear up the "Lin Yushuang".

There is no way, Liu Minxiu is still suitable for playing the kind of shrewd and capable, sharp and resolute role.

After the audition, Fang Xing thought about it and said, "The eldest sister is still too shrewd and capable. ”

After listening to this, Liu Minxiu joked: "Really, it's still wrong for people to look smart." ”

"How can the eldest sister be wrong, it's all my fault." Fang Xing hurriedly laughed.

"Okay, next time there is a smart and capable character, you must leave it to me." Liu Minxiu made a joke and left the audition room.

A few more actresses auditioned next.

Some are more than stupid, but their acting skills are insufficient.

Some of the acting skills are okay, but the image does not match.

Some have an understanding of the role, which is too different from what Fang Xing wants.

After auditioning for six actors, it was already half past eleven.

Fang Xing asked, "How many are left?" ”

The casting director flipped through the rest of his resume and replied, "There are three left." ”

"That's after the audition, and then let's arrange for lunch." Fang Xing said.

The staff went out and called the next actor to audition.

Soon, the seventh actress walked in, thirty-seven or eighteen years old, without makeup, which could show a little bit of age.

When an actress reaches this age, even if she is well maintained, she will leave traces of time.

"Hello directors, my name is Liu Ling." Send the resume to each director.

Fang Xing glanced at his resume, there were many TV series on it, but they were basically supporting roles.

In his past works, he has written more than a dozen TV series.

"It's a lot of acting experience." Fang Xing gave an evaluation first.

"Yes, I have acted in a lot of plays, but they are all small supporting roles." Liu Ling nodded, revealing a relatively silly smile.

Fang Xing raised his eyebrows when he saw her smile, and he didn't know if she deliberately showed it after figuring out the character's personality, or if she was originally laughing like this.

Since I am curious, I will ask directly:

"Do you usually laugh like that? Or is it already in the play? ”

Liu Ling hurriedly nodded and replied: "I specially laugh according to the state of the character, and I usually feel casual." ”

Fang Xing nodded and said, "This smile is quite in line with the character's personality, since you have already entered the play, you should know what role you auditioned for."

"The actors who auditioned today basically played this scene."

Fang Xing said, handed over a page of the script, and said: "The requirements are the same, when scolding the 'slut', you must scold it coolly, you must scold it so that the audience can relieve its anger, and you can't make the audience feel that this character is very annoying, and you must be likable." ”

Liu Ling took the script, read it quickly, and then nodded and said, "I'm ready." ”

"Let's get started." Fang Xing nodded.

Liu Ling began to perform according to the script, pointed to an assistant director, and opened her mouth to scold: "Lin Yushuang, you slut!" ”

The assistant director was stunned for a moment.

After Liu Ling finished scolding, she quickly apologized: "The director is sorry, not for you." ”

Even the appearance of apology is a bit silly.

When he scolds, he is very strong.

Fang Xing raised his eyebrows and said, "It's okay, let's do it again." Your husband is going to clean up the concubine's room, and you are very proud, and you feel that you finally have a day to come out. Try. ”

Liu Ling slapped her palms and said excitedly: "Lin Yushuang, you also have today." ”

Fang Xing was very satisfied with her state, thought for a while, and said, "You learned that your daughter has an affair with a poor man. ”

Liu Ling fell back and lamented, "Oh my God. ”

Fang Xing discussed with Zhang Yigao and Wang Yutao, and they all had the same opinion, and felt that the effect of this audition was very good.

However, there are two actors in the back who did not audition.

After all the actors have auditioned, they have to go back and watch the audition video again, and finally make a decision.

After the discussion, Fang Xing praised: "The performance is very good, we will have the results in three days, thank you for the audition." ”

"Thank you, Director." After hearing this, Liu Ling expressed her gratitude and withdrew from the audition room.

She could see from Fang Xing's attitude that there was a good chance for this audition.

Of course, whether you can get the role in the end depends on the auditions of other actors, as well as comprehensive factors such as schedule and salary.

There are many processes for a role to go through from audition to signing.

It's rare for an audition to be decided on the spot.

……

After the day's auditions.

After Zhang Yigao went back, he was responsible for re-watching the audition video, and then finally selecting the role candidate.

is the same as the feeling at the time of the audition, Zhang Yigao finally chose Liu Ling, and the feeling of the audition is indeed very in line with the role of "Wang Ruofu" in the script.

After Liu Ling is finalized, the company's legal counsel is responsible for signing the contract.

This casting, the audition lasted for half a month, and the roles were finalized one after another.

Lin Yingxue's audition effect was also good, and the heroine "Sheng Minglan" was finally decided.

An Xiaoran set "Sheng Rulan".

Fang Xing arranged the role of the heroine's father to Guo Shi to play.

Since "Crazy Stone" became popular, Guo Shi's popularity has risen.

If it weren't for Fang Xing's drama, the salary would definitely be over 10 million.

However, Guo Shi took the initiative to ask for a friendship price.

After the casting is completed, the schedule is finalized, and the filming officially begins.

On the first day of filming, Fang Xing stared at the set for a day.

After watching it, I was very satisfied with the directing work of Zhang Yigao and Wang Yutao.

Zhang Yigao's drama has exploded three times in a row, although it is all scripts given by Fang Xing, but he can make the drama popular, which is enough to show that there is no problem with the director's skills.

Therefore, the first day of shooting went well.

After making sure that there is no problem with these two people directing, Fang Xing can let them shoot, just need to take a look at the footage every once in a while.

……

After the summer vacation, all the colleges and universities are open.

After Zhong Keke returned to school to report, he ran to his home, looked for Fang Xing, and asked to go to Ark Culture for an internship.

In a blink of an eye, Zhong Keke was already in his senior year.

The senior year is an important turning point for college students.

The school recruitment of many large companies starts in the first half of the senior year.

Therefore, if you want to find a good job, it is best to solve it in the first half of your senior year.

Zhong Keke begged to go to Ark Culture for an internship.

If her cousin has such a request, Fang Xing will definitely agree, and she will directly arrange the position of management trainee.

However, Fang Xing also said in advance that the internship was just an opportunity for her to adapt to the workplace, and she would not be hired after the internship.

Of course, if Zhong Keke had considered her career plan, Fang Xing would definitely help, but she didn't agree that she would enter the Ark culture as soon as she graduated.

Let her live a mess is not to help her, but to harm her.

It's September.

It is relatively close to the Jinhua Awards, one of the three major film award ceremonies.

Before the National Day.

The Jinhua Award announced the list of nominees for the 43rd session.

As soon as the list of nominees came out, "Crazy Stone" was on the list.

Since "Crazy Stone" has just won the box office championship in the summer file, and now it has appeared on the list of nominees for the Jinhua Awards, related topics quickly rushed to the hot search.

After "Crazy Stone" was released from theaters, it was released on the Internet immediately after.

This time, "Crazy Stone" won a number of nominations for the Jinhua Awards, rushed to the hot search, and brought a wave of heat to the online release, and the audience watched the movie on the Internet a lot more.

As more and more audiences have watched "Crazy Stone", the malicious bad reviews of some black fans have been diluted, making the movie's reputation better and better.
