Chapter 20 Casting for the Final Examination
The next day, everyone gathered together in the acting classroom, and today was the day when director Li Feng began his first casting. Li Feng did not cast at the beginning, but started a family routine with his classmates.
"Hello students, let me briefly introduce myself, I myself studied musical theater performance, I learned musical theater performance at the American Academy of Music and Opera in New York, and then mixed on Broadway for more than ten years, 1,500 performances, as I grew older and belly, I went behind the scenes little by little, and started the work of director, our play is called "If Love", there are several characters in this story Nie Wen, Lin Jiandong and Sun Na The three main roles, Lin Jiandong and Sun Na are going to play before and after fame separately, It's done by two different pairs, so now we have five main characters, and I'm going to have an in-depth look at you guys in the process, singing, dancing and acting. I believe that when we set our goals very high, we can force out our potential ability, believe in this process, the drama is bigger than the sky, the audience is our food and clothing, I hope you can deeply understand in this process, then why did you start to comment on the scene of your first kiss in order. Director Li Feng first touched his stomach and said.
Everyone in the audience laughed shyly when they heard the tour guide's words, only to see one by one to the front of the stage to play the first kiss, and the next one happened to Tang Jiayi, he had to go to the front of the stage and said: "Hello director, my name is Tang Jiayi, my first kiss was forcibly kissed, I was actually quite stunned at the time, and then I was relieved and just like that, I was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to speak, but the more nervous I was, the more embarrassed I was." ”
Tang Jia went to Wu Xiaohui after he went, he smiled shyly and said: "My first kiss was also forcibly kissed, she is a female friend of mine, I don't know why she cried there, I went to comfort her, she kissed me directly." ”
"I was kissed by my girlfriend when I was buying a book in the library, she happened to walk behind, I saw that she hadn't followed for a long time, and I was about to turn my head to look, and she came up as soon as I turned my face, I wasn't ready." Wu Wei said next to him.
"I didn't actually know it was the first kiss when I kissed for the first time, because I was blindfolded at the time, and he said that he prepared something for me to blindfold, well, I was kissed later." Ding Meiqi whispered. Later, a few classmates came up and said that they had never had the experience of their first kiss, so they wanted to describe what they imagined their first kiss to look like, and everyone laughed in the audience.
"Actually, I did this exercise today, mainly to understand you and see what your state is, let's really describe this feeling, this is a link that must have been in life at the beginning of the actor." Director Li Feng said.
Next is the singing and dancing competition, Yue Qian, who sings well, goes up first, Yue Qian is very confident when she sings, and sings a paragraph in the musical singing method, Tang Jia saw that Director Li Feng said OK happily, her face was full of appreciation, and she estimated that Yue Qian had a great chance this time.
Pang Xuedong came up and sang a "song of two places", this song selection made Teacher Liu laugh next to him, and then Luo Yan sang the theme song of the original play, and the performance was very devoted.
Later, Director Li Feng asked the students to sing songs they were familiar with, the kind that they often sang at KTV, and then they immediately sang all kinds of strange songs and dances when they saw the students in the audience. Tang Jiayi's performance in this round is not bad, with the blessing of the singer's professional title, Tang Jia's music attributes are close to B-, so Tang Jiayi has a high degree of completion, which makes Director Li Feng also appreciate him very much.
Followed by a dance inspection, director Li Feng asked the students to follow the dance teacher to learn a dance, and after some students couldn't keep up with the rhythm, director Li Feng said: "Students who don't have a rhythm can dance blindly according to their own rhythm." ”
Director Li Feng watched everyone dance and roughly understood the foundation of the students, and said to everyone: "Okay, let's do it again, everyone try to dance to the rhythm as much as possible, and the students who can't find the rhythm make up and dance by themselves." ”
This time, Director Li Feng focused on Ding Meiqi, Yang Ying and other students who danced better, and slowly everyone jumped up with the rhythm of the music. ”
The next thing is that Director Li Feng announced the name of the first casting, but this is not fixed, and it may be replaced at any time half a month before the performance. From here, you can see that Director Li Feng has rich experience, and through simple singing, dancing and narration on the first day, Yue Qian, who has excellent singing skills, was selected as the female number one, and Tang Jiayi was the male number one. Mr. Lu asked Director Li Feng if other people were qualified to be the first male and female leaders, and the answer he gave was: "From the current point of view, Tang Jiayi, Yue Qian, Wu Xiaohui and Ji Xin are slightly better, Ding Meiqi, she dances very well, but her singing skills are really a big obstacle, and we now have 3-4 candidates to choose from for other roles in addition to the protagonist." ”
Director Li Feng has established a mechanism for competition and elimination, and what he does is actually the same in the society now when facing the candidates to be filmed, the selection of the director is the same, if you don't work hard, you will be eliminated. In the next few weeks, there will be several weeks of rehearsals, kicking out the gym, crises and challenges coexist, everyone has the opportunity to stand out with diligence and talent, and finally director Li Feng announced the list as follows:
Male No. 1, Lin Zhengdong (now): Tang Jiayi
Male No. 2, Lin Zhengdong (past): Wu Xiaohui
Female No. 1, Sun Na (now): Yue Qian
Female No. 2, Sun Na (past): Ji Xin
Male No. 3, Nie Wen: Pang Xuedong
Producer: Wu Wei
Group Dance: The rest of the students
As the time came to eleven or twelve o'clock in the evening, I saw that the students returned to the dormitory one after another, and after the day's practice, everyone collapsed to the bed and didn't want to get up.
As soon as Tang Jia returned to the dormitory to rest for a while, he sent Lin Yihan a tired and paralyzed emoji, Lin Yihan gave him a massage emoji, and then the two shared an interesting story they encountered today, because they had to train tomorrow, Tang Jiayi didn't talk to Lin Yihan much, told her that there would be training tomorrow, and told her to rest early.
Then Tang Jiayi called the fat man directly and said: "Fat man, I decided to go to that Lianzong to have a look, you can help me find it, is there a suitable one?" ”
"Okay, I'll take care of this for you, and your girlfriend agreed? Didn't I hear you say that she was going to participate in the girl group variety show, so there is still time for you to participate in the love show? The fat man asked curiously.
The so-called women's group variety show is a new variety show that has become hot in the past two years, and various companies and some individuals who feel that they have strength will form a trainee lineup, and after several performances, some of the bad performers will be slowly eliminated, and finally the 9 trainees who will finally form a group will form a women's group debut, of course, as a variety show, of course, the power of capital is indispensable, and the trainees who debut in a group will be supported by capital and can obtain many resources, which is very important for a person who wants to climb up, This could determine whether you are a great star or an ordinary person who has broken your dreams. The reason why Lin Yihan went to Bangzi Country is that her agent Sister Ai has arranged for her to sign up for this variety show, and she is currently going to a large company in Bangzi Country to learn the skills related to women's groups and consolidate Lin Yihan's own basic skills.
"She estimates that the meeting will also be over, her show is estimated to be similar to my show, there are just a few months to rest and practice, go to Lianzong to adapt and relax in advance." Tang Jia thought for a while and said.
Then Tang Jiayi listened to the fat man talk about the recent situation of Datou and Lao Yang, and fell asleep. What awaits him will be the increasingly strict competition for roles in musicals, but he is full of confidence to face it all.
