In the original version of "The Wandering Earth", the role of "Liu Qi" played impulsively, brainless, rebellious, and kept dying, he was responsible for it, and his relatives around him were responsible for dying.

This character is the most scolded by the audience.

However, the scary thing is that the age of this character's appearance is 25 years old.

A 25-year-old rebellious giant baby, he does things that highlight a brainless, but he says that he is a genius in his lines, and finally comes up with the idea of igniting Jupiter to save the earth.

And this character always shirks responsibility and puts all the fault on others.

Mother died, blame father.

Grandpa died, blaming the captain of the 171-11 rescue team.

In short, if this character is carefully analyzed, it will make the audience very annoying, and the personality is very fragmented.

The first half was a rebellious giant baby, lost his temper, shirked responsibility, and finally suddenly woke up, put his brain back, and began to say that he was a genius.

This kind of character with a split personality is actually very unpleasant.

What's more, it's not easy for a 25-year-old child who grew up in a shelter to be so rebellious.

In contrast, her sister "Han Duoduo" seems to be much more sensible, because the age of "Han Duoduo" in the movie is 15 years old.

It's reasonable to be rebellious at the age of 15, and it's still rebellious at the age of 25, that's really a problem with people.

Therefore.

When Fang Xing was writing the script, he made relatively big changes to the character of "Liu Qi", trying to make this character not so much like a giant baby.

The arc of the character of "Liu Qi" is more reflected in the protection of his sister "Han Duoduo".

In the end, grandfather "Han Ziang" died to save his granddaughter "Han Duoduo", and solemnly entrusted "Han Duoduo" to "Liu Qi".

"Liu Qi" has grown and become strong because of this entrustment.

After the first draft of the script was written, Fang Xing handed over the script to the company's screenwriting team for further grinding.

Good scripts are all grinded out, even if it is the same script, the movies made by different directors and actors are very different.

……

The third day after the first draft of the script was completed.

Casting auditions have also officially begun.

The first to audition are the actors of "Liu Qi" and "Han Duoduo".

Because there are many scenes in these two roles, but young actors are used, the acting skills of young actors have not gained enough experience, and they are likely to collapse.

Therefore, it is necessary to determine the actors of these two roles first, and then seize the time to train.

On the day of the audition.

Fang Xing, Wang Yutao, plus the casting director, and two assistant directors, sat behind the desk and began to audition.

The first actor invited to audition walked in.

At first glance, I felt quite tall and energetic, but with a lot of makeup and yellow hair.

Auditions with makeup are taboo for demanding crews.

Therefore, Fang Xing's first impression was not very good.

The actor introduced himself first when he came in: "Hello director, my name is Chen Zihao." ”

Wang Yutao flipped out his resume, handed it to Fang Xing, and said, "You need to remove your makeup before the audition." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the bathroom in the audition room.

When removing makeup, the casting director leaned into Fang Xing's ear and introduced this Chen Zihao's situation:

"Yibo Entertainment recommended it, there was a drama in Yibo Entertainment before, the script was not bad, our company invested a sum, and two actors from the company participated.

"So it was recommended by the partner company, and it was not easy to push, so I was invited to audition."

Fang Xing had never seen this Chen Zihao in his impression, so he asked casually: "Look at the makeup, it's a Korean idol style, are you sure it's an actor?" ”

The casting director replied: "Ahem, now fans in the fan circle like this tune, and artists who have not become famous basically take this route." ”

An assistant director came up and said: "This person has a lot of fans, last month there was a sweet pet web drama, Director Fang should have watched it." ”

"I've seen it?" Fang Xing was a little confused.

"Yes, the male protagonist in "The King of Queqiao", played." The casting director helped to add.

Fang Xing raised his eyebrows, this "Queqiao Wangye" was indeed a bit popular last month, and it seems that fans are also crazy.

However, Fang Xing has not watched this drama, but he can often see the poster of this drama.

It's just that the actor on the poster and the person who just came in ......

"Is he playing the male lead? Why am I a little face blind? Fang Xing blinked his eyes, and he was already beginning to doubt his eyes.

Wang Yutao snorted and said: "Modern technology, I heard that he has fine-tuned it many times, and he also moved his mandible." Basically, every time I shoot a drama, it's like changing heads. ”

The assistant director teased: "There were a lot of his fans at the door just now, and I guess I brought makeup here for this reason." idols basically dare not remove their makeup in front of fans, otherwise their image will collapse. ”

While chatting, Chen Zihao washed his face and came out.

It is said to be a makeup removal, but in fact, it is not very clean.

However, since the makeup removal request has been mentioned, and the actors have also done it, there is no need to force it to what extent.

"Director, I'm all right." Chen Zihao returned to the audition position with a very respectful attitude.

The so-called people can't be good-looking, if the acting skills are good, other shortcomings can be ignored.

After all, there is no 100% perfect person in the world, and the same is true for actors.

Fang Xing took out a page of script, handed it over and said, "Try this." You play an older brother who just died to save your sister. My sister is very sad, and you, as an older brother, must learn to be strong and comfort your sister. ”

Wang Yutao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw Fang Xing take out this page of script.

This scene is the most difficult one for the role of "Liu Qi".

Because the emotions of this scene are too complicated.

First of all, the grandfather "Han Ziang" who brought him up passed away, and "Liu Qi" was very sad in his heart, but he couldn't shed tears, because there was a sister "Han Duoduo" next to him who needed to be taken care of.

After the death of his grandfather, he must shoulder the responsibility of protecting and caring for his sister.

Chen Zihao took the script, turned around and began to read.

After watching it for a few minutes, he turned around and asked, "Can anyone play a show?" ”

It's normal to find someone to play with, even if the actor has to learn to perform without physical objects, but it is not too much to ask for a play.

Especially when this scene is very difficult.

Fang Xing showed his meaning to the assistant director next to him.

The assistant director got up, walked in front of Chen Zihao, then squatted down and began to cry: "Grandpa......"

It's just that this "grandpa" shouted out, which made people a little nervous.

Because the "Han Duoduo" in the script is a 15-year-old girl, the image of a younger sister.

The assistant director is a rough man with five big and three thick, and he has a bit of a stomach, and this "grandpa" directly sprayed Chen Zihao.

"Poof......

Chen Zihao laughed directly, he couldn't hold back.

However, after he burst out laughing, he found that the four directors sitting in front of him were all looking at him expressionlessly.

He felt a little bad, so he quickly put away his smile and began to act: "Duoduo, hurry up, we have to keep up with the team." Remember what Grandpa said? You must live, get up. ”

Watch him finish.

Fang Xing really didn't know how to evaluate it, and even wondered if he hadn't started acting.

Because he just read the lines again, there was no change in expression on his face at all.

In this scene, "Liu Qi"'s emotions are very complicated, first of all, he is sad, but because of the responsibility on his shoulders, he can't be sad, and he has to comfort his sister.

This kind of multiple emotions is very difficult to express.

However, Fang Xing didn't see multiple emotions on his face at all, not even sadness.

As for what is strong and growing, it is even more impossible.

Fang Xing didn't want to speak, so he directly lowered his head and flipped through the script and made some annotations.

The casting director has followed Fang Xing for so many plays, and his vision is also very poisonous.

He didn't need Fang Xing to speak at all, he knew that this person really couldn't perform, as for how he could be popular, it was very bizarre.

The casting director said formulaically: "Okay, thank you for the audition, you can go back, after the audition results come out, we will contact you by message, thank you." ”

Chen Zihao bowed and exited the audition room.

As soon as he left the audition room, he immediately called the makeup artist to the bathroom and reapplied his makeup.

There are fans right outside the door, and you need to maintain the perfect image of a high-quality idol at all times.

……

After the others left, several directors couldn't help laughing.

"There's really no show at all." An assistant director gave an evaluation unceremoniously.

Originally, the phrase that there is no trace of performance is often used to praise people.

However, "there is really no trace of performance at all" may also be that there is no performance at all.

"Indeed, I was stunned after reading it." Wang Yutao answered casually.

The casting director reminded: "It should be that there are too many fine-tunings, which causes the facial muscles to be a little stiff, and it really doesn't look expressionless." ”

"The eyes can't do it, to put it bluntly, I can't perform." An assistant director quipped.

"Yibo Entertainment recommended it, it's not easy to push, and the acting skills in the back will be much better." The casting director felt that it was indeed a bit of a loss to find this kind of actor to audition.

After all, as a casting director, the main job is to choose actors, and it is a pure waste of time to do such a strange thing to audition.

……

On the morning of the audition, there were one or two actors whose performances were okay.

However, it has not yet been decided who will be chosen.

The afternoon audition was the actor of "Han Duoduo".

In the movie, the age of "Han Duoduo" is 15 years old.

However, if you are looking for an actor, you can't really find a 15-year-old, and it's not easy to find a high school student at this age.

Therefore, most of the people invited to audition are students from major drama schools.

It's just that most of the students in school have a problem, that is, they lack acting experience.

Most drama school students usually have to make TV dramas first, gain experience, and then slowly develop into the big screen.

As soon as I came up, I was on the big screen, and the requirements for talent were too high.

Talent does matter when performing this thing.

Some actors, who are born actors, stand in front of the camera and have drama in their eyes.

However, there are too few actors who can have this kind of talent.

auditioned for five times in a row, and Fang Xing felt unsatisfactory.

However, the role of "Han Duoduo", in the second half of the movie, there will be several important crying scenes.

And you can't fake crying, you have to cry naturally.

Therefore, as soon as Fang Xing came up to audition, he was looking for the most difficult scenes.

It is not required to act to the extreme, but at least it should not be too embarrassing.

However, the first five are not quite good.

After sending off the five, the crew went out to call the number.

The sixth actor came in, and at first glance he felt a little petite, and his appearance was a cute type, and from the perspective of his image, he did fit the identity of his sister.

"Hello director, my name is Zhao Zifeng, this is my resume."

She stepped forward and handed her resume to each director.

Fang Xing actually recognized her, because she had acted in quite a few film and television dramas.

"I've done a lot of filming."

"It's okay, I've filmed more than a dozen dramas, and there are movies and TV series." Zhao Zifeng replied with a smile.

"That's an old drama bone." Wang Yutao followed with a joke.

"Don't dare, I'm still young." Zhao Zifeng grinned, revealing a tiger tooth.

"Our play is quite hard, and we have to wear fifty or sixty pounds of equipment." Fang Xing reminded.

"It's okay, if someone else can do it, I can do it too." Zhao Zifeng is not stage frightened at all.

Fang Xing actually had some understanding of her performance when he saw her.

Because watching some of the movies and TV series she acted in, there were also crying scenes in them.

Fang Xing took out the most difficult scene, handed it over and said, "Try this, you also have an adopted child, and he gave you his daughter's name." In an accident, your grandfather died trying to save you. ”

Zhao Zifeng took the script and looked down.

There are very few lines in this scene.

Because it's all emotional performance, the lines are only a few words.

This kind of performance is the hardest because all the drama is on the face.

The assistant director asked, "Do you want to play a scene?" ”

Zhao Zifeng waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need it, and then lowered his head and began to brew emotions.

After brewing, she didn't say anything about starting, and started to perform directly, with an expression on her back on her face, and then suddenly squatted down, covered her mouth with her hands, and kept sobbing.

Fang Xing sat up straight and looked at it.

I found that when she cried, her body was still shaking back and forth, and it looked like she was about to fall.

Zhao Zifeng cried for two minutes before he couldn't cry and shouted two words: "Grandpa......"

Fang Xing's eyes lit up, and he was quite surprised by this performance.

For actors who perform well, Fang Xing's consistent approach is to increase the difficulty, so he found another page of the script and handed it over: "Try this scene." ”

Zhao Zifeng stood up, wiped away his tears with the back of his hand, and adjusted his mood for a while before starting to perform the second scene.

Audition down.

Fang Xing is indeed the most satisfied with her performance.

It's not for nothing that I can act in so many plays, and it's completely different from those actors who can only read lines.

After the audition, Fang Xing commented: "It's not bad, go back and wait for news." ”

"Thank you, Director." Zhao Zifeng was very happy when he heard the evaluation.

As she walked out of the audition room, she let out a long breath and patted her chest with her hand.

Because before she came, she had always heard that Fang Xing had the title of "Audition Yama".

Moreover, Fang Xing is still the Golden Bottle Award actor, which means that she needs to interview in front of a director with an actor-level acting skills, which is too much pressure.

Fortunately, when I finally heard Fang Xing's evaluation, I seemed to be quite satisfied.

However, the evaluation at the audition does not mean that you have been able to get the role, and in the end, it depends on the performance of other audition actors.

In fact.

The crew auditions actors, and they all select a few actors who can be used, and then negotiate film appointments.

Because of the salary, schedule and other reasons, it is not possible to use any actor you want, if the salary is not suitable and the schedule cannot be coordinated, you have to change the alternative actors.

Of course.

Big-name directors, when it comes to casting, must have privileges.

A director who can lead an actor to win an award, who has an actor who will refuse, even if he pushes off other plays, he must vacate the schedule.

Three days after the audition, Fang Xing looked back at the actors who had auditioned.

In the end, "Han Duoduo" still felt that Zhao Zifeng was more suitable, so he arranged for the brokerage team to negotiate the salary.

Zhao Zifeng's salary is not low, but it is not outrageous, and it is still within the budget affordability.

So the contract was quickly finalized and the official announcement was made.
