"As assistant directors, we have to complete at least the first two rounds of auditions."

"In the first round, when the actor learned the news of recruiting the role, he sent his personal information to our mailbox, and judged whether the person was suitable for the next script through simple words and appearance, which was the first time."

"The second time is after the official meeting, we need to understand the actor's level more intuitively through some simple interpretations, so that the actors try to play the clips do not need to be complicated, and they don't need to be related to the plot, such as letting the actors try to play a dinner scene, a scene just coming home from work, ......"

"As long as you go through these very simple clips, you can roughly understand a person's sense of belief, interpretation skills, and work attitude from the actor's demeanor, movements, and line skills."

"Although it sounds very simple, this step can screen a large number of incompetent actors, some of them laugh while acting, some can't even speak basic lines, and some can't get into the play...... Many actors who either rely on their faces to eat, or are incapable, to be strict, they can actually go down in the first two rounds of auditions. ”

"And when it comes to the final audition that is really conducted by the director, screenwriter, and assistant director, it is the script that really gives the audition actors a part, so that they can try to study the role and interpret it, and at that time it depends more on the director's arrangement......"

Inside the audition room,

Zhang Yuzheng whispered to Bai Wei to explain the work that the assistant director should complete during the audition.

"Of course, that's the workflow of the general crew, and our crew is special." He continued, "Our Director Lu has no fixed workflow at all, and sometimes he thinks that people are suitable, so he directly sends some of the scripts along with the audition invitation. ”

"It's rare to invite a lot of auditioning actors to come and screen step by step, and finally pick out the best and most suitable."

"But our Director Lu also has that confidence, the actors selected so far are all relatively talented and capable, and he also has the capital to cultivate."

Speaking of this, he paused, "So if you have the opportunity to try other crews in the future, it is best to follow the process I mentioned above, so that the director and screenwriter can be satisfied to the greatest extent." ”

"As for our crew, you should discuss it with Director Lu before executing it, whether it will work or not, it depends on what Director Lu means."

Bai Wei took notes carefully beside him.

"You haven't mentioned this to me at all."

Lu Zhengyi listened beside him, a little helpless, "And how can you listen, I'm so domineering?" ”

What fixed process, I don't know, I don't know at all.

He has never been in other crews, and he was in his own bureau from the beginning.

And when he first filmed that year, no one was optimistic about him, or rather, no one was optimistic about horror movies, how could he pick them one by one like a draft.

Later, it was basically an internal push.

"Hey, what's that?"

Zhang Yu smiled, "Forcing others to listen to you is called domineering." ”

"We're willing to listen to you, it's called trust."

"Right, Xiaowei?"

“…… Yes? ”

Bai Wei, who was seriously recording in his mobile phone, looked at the two of them blankly, "Ah, yes, yes." ”

He hurried back.

"Knock knock—"

And just then, there was a knock on the door of the audition room from outside.

"Lu, Director Lu."

A somewhat nervous woman walked into the house from outside the door, "Deputy Director Zhang, Bai Wei, Bai Viagra, my name is ......"

She called one by one, looking very cramped.

"Cai Siqi."

Zhang Yu calmly sat behind the long table, knocked on the table with the pen in his hand, and made a subtle 'beep' sound, interrupting her self-introduction, "Because there are a lot of people in the back interview mirror, there is no need for extra self-introduction." ”

"Ah, good!"

Cai Siqi quickly shut up.

"Now, we need you to play a ...... People who have successfully auditioned. ”

Zhang Yu thought for a moment, "This topic shouldn't be difficult, if the audition is successful, how will you perform." ”

"Hmm...... Good! ”

Cai Siqi stood there a little dumbfounded, and it took a while for her to move in the eyes of several people.

The audition room is quite large, and the space in front of the long table is not small, which is completely enough for an actor to carry out activities.

Cai Siqi was just standing in this empty area.

After a moment, a smile appeared on her face, and then she clenched her fists sharply, "I auditioned!" ”

As she spoke, she also looked nervously at the three people behind the long table from time to time.

Zhang Yu: "......"

Bai Wei: "......"

Obviously, they were all shocked by this performance, what an impressive acting skill!

Zhang Yu turned his head suspiciously and looked at Lu Zhengyi.

'This is the person you're looking for?' ’

His gaze was like he could speak.

Although Zhang Yu was also in the group of temporary workers, and knew that the girl named 'Cai Siqi' in front of him was the person who was picked by Lu Zhengyi when he played the First Commandment before.

But he didn't know much about her, after all, he was still recuperating at the time, and it was difficult to say whether he would be able to come back or not.

Can ...... now

"Hahaha, it's so funny."

And Lu Zhengyi also sat there sluggishly.

It took a long time for him to laugh out loud under Zhang Yu's puzzled gaze, "Ah Wei, do you see it, this is the performance you want to get rid of, and you don't know how to act at all." ”

"I think Deputy Director Zhang was quite right just now."

"After all, our crew is small now, and there must be a charter for future auditions, and in the future, you will be responsible for killing some actors of average level, for example, actors who performed like Miss Cai just now."

Standing on the opposite side, Cai Siqi's head had already been lowered.

Zhang Yu and Bai Wei looked at each other.

Although Miss Cai did not behave very well, there was no need to say it to her face.

Fortune is fickle.

Especially Bai Wei, people were pulled into the group by him, and now they are so belittled......

He wanted to be comforted, but when he opened his mouth, he didn't know what to say.

After all, the director and the assistant director are here.

Cai Siqi, after dropping out of school at the age of sixteen, began to work part-time, and officially applied for an actor certificate at the age of eighteen when she became an adult, becoming a ...... Actor. But Lu Zhengyi continued, "Now a few years have passed, and you are still a group actor who can only run around on the set, and you can't even play a supporting role." ”

"But you yourself have a self-media account, although you only have 50,000 followers, but with the remuneration of group performances, you can barely support yourself, right?"

"Sixteen years old, dropped out of high school to work part-time, your family is very short of money?"

Cai Siqi bit her lip, "Yes." ”

"How's your grades?"

Lu Zhengyi asked again.

Although I don't know what this has to do with the audition, even just now, the director has already laughed at the results of the audition.

But in the face of this vicious face, even though Cai Siqi felt very uncomfortable, she still replied honestly, "Middle, middle." ”

"That's ordinary, it's really an embarrassing situation."

Lu Zhengyi said regretfully, "The family background is not good, and the grades are ordinary. ”

"If you have good grades, you can also apply for a bursary and tuition waiver as an honor student. If it's bad, if you don't read it, you won't read it. ”

"But it's not up or down, it's embarrassing to be stuck in the middle, and I want to read it, but I can't continue to read, it should be very tangled, at that time."

Zhang Yu and Bai Wei's faces are even more eccentric, is this an audition?

Cai Siqi stared at Lu Zhengyi inexplicably, but nodded obediently.

'Is this, starting to sympathize with me?' ’

Then, Lu Zhengyi continued to ask, "Is the choice to drop out of school your own decision?" ”

Next to them, Zhang Yu and Bai Wei sat silently.

This is no longer an audition, and they feel that it has digressed very much.

But what can be done? This is Lu Dao.

'Sure enough, he's sympathetic to me, so now ......'

Cai Siqi nervously wanted to nod, because of her family background, in order not to increase the burden on her parents, she chose to drop out of school, a good statement, right?

If you go to the voice of the Tang Kingdom, now Director Lu should turn around.

But just as Cai Siqi nodded, she was just about to say something.

"If you're lying, I can see it."

Lu Zhengyi suddenly spoke, "As a director, do you want to deceive me in front of me?" ”

"No, it was my parents' decision."

blurted out these words, and Cai Siqi immediately regretted it.

What's going on?

Obviously, the director has no superpowers, so it is impossible to guess what he is thinking.

Why was he deceived and told the truth!

"I also have a sister." The jar was broken, Cai Siqi didn't want to hide something, "Because her grades are better than mine, but her family can't afford to support two children to study, so she discussed with me and let me drop out of school." ”

"What about the idea of doing self-media?"

Lu Zhengyi asked again.

"It was my sister who proposed it, and she said that I was very good-looking, and in this era, if I learn to run self-media, I may be able to succeed." Cai Siqi replied honestly, "What type of videos are usually filmed on the account, I also try it at her suggestion." ”

These words give the impression that he is not a reliable person.

In fact, Lu Zhengyi had already seen it in the last cooperation.

"This is part of the script for a shoot, about the character of Cher." He stood up, took out a document from the table and handed it over, "This character is in the play as the ex-girlfriend of the male protagonist Luo Zhan, and she doesn't have many scenes, but she is a very important character. ”

"Huh?"

Zhang Yu and Bai Wei turned their heads blankly and looked at the director who had already entered the final audition.

Just ask a few questions, and that's it?

And in the same way, Cai Siqi is even more in a trance.

She stepped forward in a daze, and took the document handed over by Lu Zhengyi with both hands.

"Different Dimension"

On the document, she was a little overwhelmed by the simple four words.

It was obviously the time when she should be excited, but she felt so unreal.

For the first time, it was the first time she got the script.

In the past, as a group performance, a trick, and cannon fodder, Cai Siqi didn't need any scripts at all, and when she was on the set, the director said 'lying there as a corpse', 'shouting in the courtyard in a panic that the eldest lady ran away', 'standing in the crowd and looking at the actor ...... with a shocked face', and then began to act.

"The character analysis and related plots are clearly written."

Lu Zhengyi looked at her with a smile, "If you don't do it well, you really won't have a chance." ”

"Well, then I'm ...... now"

Cai Siqi nervously picked up the script and planned to study it on the spot.

"Tomorrow."

Lu Zhengyi waved his hand, "Whoever gets the script will complete the final audition tomorrow." ”

With a trance expression, Cai Siqi left the audition room with the script in her hand.

And Bai Wei also followed closely behind to inform the next person to audition.

"Director Lu."

And at the moment when the door was closed, Zhang Yu turned his head suspiciously, "Is there anything special about her?" ”

If such a decision were made, he would probably be dissatisfied with the questioning.

But Lu Zhengyi is different.

When he made such a decision, Zhang Yu would only feel that there was something else to do.

Lu Zhengyi has a certain reason for doing everything.

And all these years of getting along have proved that he is right.

Moreover, judging from the actor's information, Cai Siqi is very special.

She is the only one among all the audition actors present who has no previous acting experience and has not even won a small supporting role, but only has the experience of playing tricks.

With a resume like this, Lu Zhengyi received a Zhang Yuming when he was filming for the first time.

When they are a little famous, they basically don't accept pure newcomers with such 'zero' resumes.

"Look at this clip."

Lu Zhengyi didn't say anything, took out his mobile phone, opened the First Commandment on the green apple platform, and pulled it to the middle part.

For the movies he shoots, he knows exactly what the plot and shots are from a few minutes to a few minutes, so the progress bar falls on the school part very accurately.

is also the clip in which Cai Siqi participated.

"It's ......"

Zhang Yu took the phone and watched.

Although he said that he hadn't watched the First Commandment because of his health, after all, this film has been released for a long time, and some related plot analyses have also been written.

So he still knows something about the plot of the First Commandment from the text.

"It's completely different from what I did just now."

Zhang Yu looked at the clip on his phone with some surprise, although it was the same face, Cai Siqi in the movie and Cai Siqi, who played an actor who had just played a successful audition, were completely two people.

The former seems to be a very spiritual actor.

is like a supporting role in some movies, obviously the lines only have very simple content of 'who else' and 'what Dongmei', and the appearance time may not even be a few minutes, but it makes people feel impressive, as if that character should be that sense of déjà vu.

And the latter's acting skills are basically people who are not even as good as advertising actors.

The advertising actor can still say with a serious face, 'It only takes a penny to charge the phone bill', 'What?' If you go online, you will send SSR'.

And Cai Siqi's performance just now was completely when the primary school student answered the question by name, took out a tissue and desperately rubbed his nose and pretended to blow his nose, and looked at the podium while blowing back.

"She's probably someone who doesn't have orders and won't carry them out."

Lu Zhengyi explained with a smile, "When I first filmed this part, her first performance was similar to the audition just now. ”

"But after all, it was a group performance, so I patiently told her how to behave and said some details of expression."

"As a result, the second shot is what it looks like in the picture now."

As he spoke, he paused, "It seems that her control over her body and demeanor is quite precise. ”

"But it could have been an accident, and all in all, we'll see how she does tomorrow."

If that's the case, she is probably the most talented actor she has ever met so far.

Even Yu Wenxiu, who is extremely persistent in acting, is not as talented as Cai Siqi in acting.

Although Yu Wenxiu is also very smart and talented, he still needs to spend a lot of time studying the role and deepening his understanding before he can complete the interpretation.

As for Cai Siqi, she is probably the kind that God chases after to feed her.

"Director Lu, long time no see!"

At this moment, a crisp voice sounded, making the atmosphere in the audition room suddenly different.

"Hello, Deputy Director Zhang."

"Although we said hello in the group, we should have met for the first time."

"I'm Huang Yunli, and I'm the audition actor this time."

The girl who has a completely different performance from Cai Siqi looks very energetic.

As soon as she entered the house, Huang Yunli greeted a few people very politely, especially Zhang Yu, because it was the first time to meet, so she introduced herself very seriously.

"Hello, hello."

Because the introduction was too fast, Zhang Yu didn't have time to interrupt directly as he did with Cai Siqi before.

"Now, we need you to play an actor who has auditioned, can you?"

Then, he quickly touched on the topic.

"No problem!"

Huang Yunli nodded confidently, and then began her interpretation.

The same topic, compared with Cai Siqi just now, her interpretation is obviously much more vivid.

She has learned acting seriously, and in the same way, her actor information is also richer, basically some small supporting roles with names and surnames and lines.

During Huang Yunli's audition, Lu Zhengyi did not interrupt as before.

Although compared with Cai Siqi, she played the role of 'takeaway girl' in the first commandment, and she has more scenes, and she also has a vague emotional line with Huang Yaozu.

But her performance, in Lu Zhengyi's opinion, can only be said to be decent.

As for the people, Xiaowei is also more optimistic, and then pulled into the group.

However, this does not mean that Lu Zhengyi does not pay attention to her.

In fact, he already has a general understanding of Huang Yunli's temperament.

This is a very active girl, and she has a certain amount of scheming.

Xiaowei's impression of Huang Yunli is that she is 'serious in filming', 'hard in life', 'likes money', and 'wants to be ......famous'

And Bai Wei, as the only person who has more contact with her, has a very good impression of her.

For example, in the lounge just now, she always casually mentioned the matter of the 'temporary worker group', and revealed that they were not only working together for the first time, but also implicitly adding psychological pressure to other auditioning actors.

After returning to the audition room, Bai Wei reported this to Lu Zhengyi and Zhang Yu.

For Huang Yunli, this audition did not start when she stepped into this audition room.

But from the moment she came to the company, it already started.

The rest of the auditionees were all her enemies.

In addition to performing well at auditions, influencing the mindset of other competitors is also a way to succeed.
