Su Youpeng arrived in the capital on February 27.

And the next day, he came to Beijing Yahuan Film and Television Company with his agent to audition and take pictures, and Lai Shuiqing was very satisfied after seeing the makeup photos.

He asked Su Youpeng to play Zhang Wuji by name.

However, Wei Yongan, the general manager of Yahuan Film and Television, did not immediately nod in agreement, but vaguely said that he would wait and see.

In fact, Mr. Wei was quite satisfied with Su Youpeng, but he agreed to Principal Zhou's request and gave Xu Ning a chance.

It made it difficult for him.

The director asked Su Youpeng by name,

And the direct leader also said hello.

No matter who you choose, it's ...... Not people inside and out.

Moreover, this is a joint venture film between the mainland, Baodao and Singapore, although Yahuan has the most shares in it, but the temporary change of the leading actor is not something he can decide with a word.

Wei Yongan sat in the office thinking about it, and just when he couldn't figure it out, a female secretary pushed the door and walked in.

"Mr. Wei, the starring lineup of Heaven and Dragon Slayer has been decided, this is their resume, please take a look."

The female secretary Xiaoli walked up to him with long legs and handed a stack of documents to Wei Yongan.

Wei Yongan looked at it for a while, and he had no opinion on others, but he became more and more angry when he saw Su Youpeng's photo.

The female secretary seemed to notice something, understood it, and immediately said delicately:

"Mr. Wei, we invested more than 15 million yuan to shoot a TV series, why are the leading actors all from Baodao?"

Wei Yongan didn't think much about it, and blurted out:

"One is famous, and the other is that Director Lai has designated ......"

"No, no, how can the leading actors of the joint venture film be all from Treasure Island...... It's not in order. ”

"Haha, Lili, you are really my good secretary, I have a way."

Wei Yongan stood up excitedly, holding Lili's weak and boneless arm with both hands, looking very excited.

……

Conference room.

Lai Shuiqing, director of Xiangjiang, and Yang Tao, director of the Railway Art Troupe, sat in the conference room.

There were several assistant directors sitting next to him, including Assistant Director Wang, who called Xu Ning.

In recent years, due to the gradual decline of the film and television industry in Hong Kong, many well-known directors have chosen to come to the mainland for development.

Lai Shuiqing is one of the first Xiangjiang directors to come to the mainland to make films.

If he hadn't pushed him with all his strength and ran everywhere, there would have been no birth of the 2002 version of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer".

After Xu Ning entered the door, he politely greeted everyone.

Lai Shuiqing didn't want to see Xu Ning's interview, but the boss asked for it, so he had to take a hard look.

As soon as I looked up,

I saw Xu Ning's very sunny smile,

Suddenly

Lai Shuiqing became interested in this young man.

One of his requirements for filming "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" is to "all the beautiful boys".

This is the casting standard he has adhered to since he started his career.

Director Lai feels that the actor's acting skills can be adjusted, but the appearance cannot be changed, so he must find someone who is "eye-catching".

Whether it's an actor or an actress, whether it's old or young, try to find a good-looking one.

Just look at Yitian's lineup,

Gao Yuanyuan is equivalent to a newcomer at this time, but he can play Zhou Zhiruo...... It's because of good looks.

Let's talk about supporting roles,

All of them look so good that they can handle them.

All the beauties of the Emei faction, the Mingjiao cadres and others are not bad-looking, and the Wudang Seven Heroes are very standard.

Therefore, when Lai Shuiqing saw Xu Ning, he jumped cautiously: "This Xu Ning, whether it is face or height, far surpasses Su Youpeng, why didn't he find him earlier." ”

Sitting on the left side of Director Lai, the assistant director Wang who called Xu Ning to inform him of the interview before sat up straight at this time.

Xu Ning's sunny and handsome appearance is too attractive to a married woman like her.

"Are you Xu Ning? Introduce yourself briefly. ”

Lai Shuiqing spoke in person, and this kind of work was done by Assistant Director Wang before.

"Director Lai, Director Yang, my name is Xu Ning, 22 years old this year, from Huaidong City, the hometown of the great man, and I have acted in ......"

A neat and tidy introduction.

Lai Shuiqing nodded: "It can be seen that your line skills are good." ”

Xu Ning glanced at the system panel and thought to himself that the attributes of [Language Acting Skills - Line Skills (5.8/Elite)] must be good.

The attribute points of this level are stronger than those of many outstanding graduates born in the major.

"Well, let's try a show."

Lai Shuiqing took the prepared piece of paper and said.

The assistant immediately took it and handed it to Xu Ning.

This scene was prepared for Xu Ning alone.

The purpose is to persuade him to quit.

Although Lai Shuiqing has a good impression of Xu Ning, he has been in contact with Su Youpeng for several months, and if he suddenly tells the other party that he wants to change people, he really can't pull this face.

Xu Ning took the paper and looked at it,

I don't feel good in my heart.

Director Lai probably didn't want him to live.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken a scene from Zhang Wuji's childhood for him to try.

But it's all here, try your best.

Whether he can win Su Youpeng is no longer something he has to consider now.

At the moment, he wants to act this scene well.

in order to have the next possibility.

So, Xu Ning immediately looked at the lines.

Thanks to the improved understanding brought to him by the system, in less than a minute, he memorized dozens of words of lines.

This scene is the plot of Zhang Cuishan and his wife's blood splashed in Wudang, and the young Zhang Wuji lost his parents but was forced to ask Xie Xun to hide by people who claimed to be famous and upright.

Remembering the lines, I opened the attribute panel and looked at the relevant attributes, and I felt more confident.

Lines (5.8/Elite)

Lines Emotion (4.1/Proficient)

Lines Burst (5.0/Elite)

Rhythm of Lines (4.0/Proficient)

Crying Scene (3.1/Proficient)

Among them, the line skills are the basic plate.

This attribute refers to the ability to speak lines "without any skill".

But in order for the lines to be infectious, the other three attributes must be continuously improved.

The three [proficient] and two [elite] acting skills on the panel should be enough to cope with this performance.

"Director Lai, I'm ready."

Lai Shuiqing was still looking at his resume, nodded and said, "Let's start, Xiao Wang, you cooperate with him." ”

Xu Ning brewed his emotions for a moment.

"I don't cry, I don't cry."

"I will never weep for you wicked people."

As he spoke, Xu Ning's eyes filled with tears.

When Lai Shuiqing and the others saw this scene, they couldn't believe it, it was only less than ten seconds, and they could have tears in their eyes?

In fact

With the attribute of [Crying Scene (3.1/Proficiency)], it is impossible to shed tears so quickly.

However, people have feelings.

When Xu Ning thought of the tragic description in the book, he felt sad from his heart.

When he read this paragraph, he was sad for a long time.

Therefore, in addition to the credit of the system, his own understanding of the role is also his own performance this time.

Seeing that Zhang Wuji didn't speak, the martial arts people led by Shaolin were not easy to move, so they could only withdraw.

In the original work, after these people left, Zhang Sanfeng pulled Zhang Wuji and said a few words.

At this time, Assistant Director Wang replaced Zhang Sanfeng and began to say the lines: "Mowgli, you are Mowgli?" ”

Xu Ning responded with a painful expression: "Well, are you a master?" My father, my mother...... Hmmm......"

Before he finished speaking, Xu Ning's head and eyes turned black and he fainted.

……

Although there are few lines in this performance,

But the acting skills are very demanding.

It is not only necessary to shed tears in a short period of time, but also to show the pain of Zhang Wuji's loss of his parents, and also to show Zhang Wuji's unyielding personality at a young age.

In just a dozen seconds of plot, multiple expressions have been changed in a row, and crying scenes have to be performed, ordinary young actors really can't handle it.

This is also one of Lai Shuiqing's plans.

Using a seemingly simple plot to make things difficult for Xu Ning, on the one hand, he can give the above an errand, and on the other hand, he can also persuade this young man to quit.

Kill two birds with one stone.

But he didn't expect that the young Xu Ning would have such mature acting skills.

"The young man is very good, in this way, you go back and wait for news first." Director Yang Tao showed appreciation.

"Well, okay, thanks to the director."

With that, he walked out of the conference room.

And in the conference room,

Yang Tao was discussing Xu Ning with Lai Shuiqing.

As a mainland director, Yang Tao very much agrees with the use of mainland actors as the leading actors, but his voice has always been very weak.

Now that he has the opportunity, of course he has to do something.

Lai Shuiqing faced Yang Tao's suggestion,

Lost in thought.
