Chapter 44: Donkeys, Everywhere
At the beginning of the 21st century, the status of TV dramas was higher than that of movies, and many popular TV series that shone and shined on the screen emerged.
Now this era is the age of television. In contrast, movies are bleak and have far less audiences than TV dramas. Many of the movie stars who grew up later were turned from TV actors.
The reborn Zhou Yi saw this clearly, so he strongly recommended Meng Xiyang to fight for the role of Su Malagu, instead of taking the risk of making Lu Ye's movie.
I'm going to get ready for the audition, but the problem is again.
Zhou Yi praised Meng Xiyang as a flower in front of Liu Yin, saying that she was "addicted" to the novel "Kangxi Dynasty" and played Su Malagu on the drama stage, but in fact it was all fake.
Meng Xiyang hadn't read "Kangxi Dynasty" at all, nor did he know the great writer Februaryhe, and he didn't even know that there was the character of Su Malagu.
If you want to stand out from the crowd of competitors, this state is definitely not good.
Zhou Yi decided to give Meng Sunset assault training.
All things being equal, the more you know about the characters, the easier it is to stand out.
Coupled with Wang Junlei's face, the chances of success are much greater.
"Aunt Su Mala, her name is 'Su Mala', and 'Gu' is the name given to her by later generations. Su Malagu's real name is 'Su Mo'er', the name 'Su Mo'er' is Mongolian, and the Chinese means 'long pocket made of fur', which is no different from the name 'flower', 'leaf', 'brick', and 'stone'. From this, it can be seen that Su Malagu's background is very ordinary......"
Zhou Yi broke it and crumpled it, and explained to Meng Xiyang the person Su Malagu.
From her origins to her experiences; from her relationship with the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang to her relationship with Kangxi; From a maid to an "emperor".
even talked about Su Malagu's talents, such as her ability to speak Manchu, Chinese, and Mongolian, and so on.
Meng Xiyang was studious, found a pen and paper to take notes, and the more he listened, the more he admired Zhou Yi.
After finishing speaking, Zhou Yi instructed to check the information carefully, memorize it, and at least be able to tell Su Malagu's life experience and important allusions from a maid to an emperor, so as not to show timidity.
He also instructed Meng Xiyang to find a Manchu colleague in the drama club to learn a few sentences of Manchu, and it would be better if he could write them.
You may not be able to use it when you audition, but if you use it, it will leave a very deep impression on the director.
Everything was arranged, Meng Xiyang was very moved, and couldn't help but think that the drama club would continue to tour the country next, but he was looking for an opportunity to enter the film and television industry, sorry Zhou Yi.
"In case I'm selected to film, you're going to have to take a newcomer from scratch?" Meng Xiyang was sorry in his heart.
Zhou Yi sighed: "To be honest, I am very conflicted in my heart, and I don't want you to be selected in my heart." ”
After a pause, he continued: "It's not difficult to train a new actor, if you are talented and work hard enough, anyone can become a good actor." However, it is too difficult to find a tacit partner.
"The tacit understanding between the two of us was established after four years of college, where we talked about everything. In the future drama club, there may be a second, third, and fourth Ma Dongmei, but there will be no more tacit understanding of Meng Sunset. ”
Zhou Yi's tone was low, inexplicably sad, and Meng Xiyang felt even more guilty.
She got up and walked to Zhou Yi and sat down, grabbed her arm, and rested her head on Zhou Yi's shoulder: "Do you think I'm selfish?" ”
"No", Zhou Yi shook his head, "I know you have a strong dream of film and television, and in order to realize your dream, you also work harder than anyone else, no matter what, I will support you." ”
"Thank you, I'm actually very self-remorseful."
"Don't thank you first, and don't blame yourself, it's all in the wine...... No, it's all 'in bed', a ......."
Donkeys, everywhere.
……
……
Meng Xiyang made active and full preparations for the audition, and checked a lot of information.
I went to the bookstore and bought a set of "Kangxi Dynasty", read it without sleep or food, marked out Su Malagu's lines with a highlighter, and carefully figured out and performed.
If you feel that you are not sure, you will ask Zhou Yi for advice.
I also went to the Manchu colleague to learn a few words of the Manchu language.
During this period, Zhou Yi, Mi Xinghe, Cheng Hao and others actively prepared for the Huacheng tour, and they had to prepare for Meng Xiyang to leave the drama club.
……
……
On the same day that Meng Xiyang went to the audition of the crew of "Kangxi Dynasty", Happy Rice was also conducting a recruitment exam to recruit actors.
20 people were screened out from hundreds of resumes and entered the audition assessment.
Zhou Yi, Cheng Hao, Xia Shangzhou, Song Yuanming and Tian Yu presided over the interview and assessment, and selected 5 people from 20 people to be trained as substitute actors for Xia Luo, Ma Dongmei, Qiu Ya, Da Chun and Yuan Hua.
Overall, the qualifications of the 5 people are not bad, they have a certain talent, and they also have a performance foundation.
Tang Duoduo also rushed to Qianzhou from Shanghai.
As soon as he heard that Tang Duoduo was coming, Song Yuanming was quite excited, and he rushed to the train station to take her to the drama club.
It can be seen that Song Yuanming is more interested in the beautiful, jumpy, and a little "wild" Tang Duoduo, and he is diligent, like a nanny. But Tang Duoduo was obviously not interested in her going.
Tang Duoduo tried the play, and Zhou Yi was quite surprised.
Compared with those 5 people, Tang Duoduo has the highest talent and the best performance, and the most important thing is to be able to let go.
Although she is not familiar with the lines, she played freely, and played the big grinning personality and the strength of a female man on Ma Dongmei.
It's like a little girl in Shanghai who speaks Wu Nong's soft language, and she lives out of a Northeast female man.
Her own personality is similar.
Zhou Yi was very satisfied, and immediately made a decision: "Xinma Dongmei is you." ”
Tang Duoduo jumped with excitement, he couldn't believe it.
At this time, Song Yuanming took the initiative to ask for help again and "pair up" Tang Duoduo.
To help her become familiar with the drama club, interpret the script, deconstruct the characters, and establish a character image, you have to work overtime to help her grow up quickly.
Zhou Yi thought about it and didn't agree.
"Forget it, you have bad intentions, I'm afraid that you will take her to the ditch, I'll take her to Meng Xiyang, and let 'Old Ma Dongmei' bring 'New Ma Dongmei'."
Song Yuanming hurriedly said again: "It's okay if you don't let me take it, she doesn't have a place to live, I'll help her rent a house." ”
Zhou Yi thought about it, but didn't agree: "Don't worry." If Meng Xiyang passes the audition, he will soon leave for Shanxi to film, and it may be several months to go, so Xiao Tang can live with Meng Xiyang first. Meng Xiyang doesn't have to check out, troublesome. ”
Song Yuanming pursed his lips, suspecting that Zhou Yi had bad intentions and wanted to fight Tang Duoduo's idea.
However, Tang Duoduo was willing, followed Zhou Yi's ass like a happy bird, and said a lot of grateful words.
Song Yuanming was very disappointed and unwilling: "What if Meng Sunset's audition is not successful?" There is no need to move away, and Don Jr. still has to find a house. ”
How do you know that Tang Duoduo waved his hand: "It's okay, my aunt lives in Qianzhou, and I can live in her house temporarily." In short, Mr. Song doesn't have to worry about it. ”
Well, Song Yuanming's courteous roads were all blocked. Song Yuanming felt uncomfortable, as if he was out of love.
Xia Shangzhou sneered: "You, die early, Tang Duoduo doesn't like you at all." You looked at Tang Duoduo's eyes, have you ever left Zhou Yi? What she likes is Zhou Yi. ”
In fact, Song Yuanming also saw it, and repeatedly self-anesthetized, so it was better to find a square to watch the old lady dance.
……
……
Zhou Yi called Meng Xiyang, first, to ask him to take time out and hurry up to cultivate Tang Duoduo, and secondly, to inquire about the interview.
Meng Xiyang on the other end of the phone was obviously depressed.
Zhou Yi didn't know why, and his first reaction was that Meng Xiyang's audition failed.
When I asked, I found out that there was no.
If you don't fail, why be depressed?
