This year is really a crazy year for martial arts fans. Wang Jing went north to bring "The Best in the World" and "Little Fish and Flowers", and Xu Ke's movies and TV series chose "Seven Swords".
Big Beard made it clear after the production started during the holidays that "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" will officially meet the audience, and the cast has not yet been decided.
After taking classes for half a month, Zhang Yuanjun finally received a call from Assistant Wang Jing, asking him to audition in Room 813 of the Mufu Hotel tomorrow.
This was an appointment made with Wang Jing at that time, and they would arrange an audition for Gui Hai Yi Dao. The video data of the entire audition process would be retained in order to complete the trick.
As one of the protagonists, casting for a character like Gui Hai Yida is generally not made public.
This time, the audition will not be publicized to the outside world. Instead, the candidates will be brought together to perform a play and the most suitable one will be selected to play the role of Gui Hai Yida.
At the audition site, Zhang Yuanjun saw many familiar faces. Of course, he knew others, but others did not know him.
Most of them come with agents. There are too few single-member gangs like Zhang Yuanjun on the scene.
Those who have an agency can more or less give a few words to the crew or the producer, and those who work on orders deserve to die from exhaustion!
But these agents didn't know that Wang Jing had already told the casting team that he was interested in a young student named Zhang Yuanjun.
The subordinates naturally understood that today was just a formality for this student named Zhang Yuanjun, and there were a lot of people outside who were supporting him.
"Hello teachers, my name is Zhang Yuanjun, and I am a sophomore student at the Film School." It was Zhang Yuanjun's turn.
coming!
Today's casting team consists of the assistant director, executive producer and a martial artist from Cheng Xiaodong's team.
Zhang Yuanjun showed his front, back and side figures to the three people, and then performed one and a half moves he learned during the winter vacation.
Wu Zhi could tell at a glance that Zhang Yuanjun had just learned this move, but he had a good impression of Zhang Yuanjun in his heart.
This young man has obviously got the role in advance, but he is still willing to learn some boxing skills for this formal audition.
Have a heart.
Zhang Yuanjun also knew that his punches and kicks would not be appreciated by professionals, but he felt that his performance was pretty good.
When it comes to filming TV, you don’t need real skills, what’s important is to look cool and beautiful.
"Okay, we already understand your basic conditions." Assistant Director Huang Jinping, who presided over the audition, said, "The appearance conditions are very good.
"Let's try a section next."
Only then did Zhang Yuanjun get the biography of Gui Hai Yida and the footage of his upcoming audition.
"You have 10 minutes to prepare."
General viewers may think that the character of Gui Hai Yida is very complicated. His father passed away and his mother became a monk. The misfortune of the family and the hardships of the young man's studies created a cold-faced killing god.
However, from a professional perspective, the character Gui Hai Yidao has a miserable life experience at best. From a dramatic perspective, this character is actually not complicated.
Just act with a heart as solid as stone and a face expressionless.
If it can be matched with some eye-catching scenes, it will add a lot of color to this character.
This is how Zhang Yuanjun prepared.
His performance was affirmed by the three audition teachers - at least Zhang Yuanjun thought it was affirmative. Huang Jinping said to him politely: "We all understand your conditions. They are very good. You can go back first. We will contact you if there is further news." Notify you as soon as it happens."
"Okay, thank you three teachers."
Zhang Yuanjun left the audition room.
"Next, Huo Jianhua."
…………
Teachers and classmates at the school were not optimistic about Zhang Yuanjun from the beginning.
I previously thought that leading roles like Gui Hai Yida would not be released for auditions, and Zhang Yuanjun would not be able to meet the crew at all.
Now I think Zhang Yuanjun was lucky enough to get an audition opportunity. Everyone else has an agency to run it. How can you, a jobber, have the extraordinary ability to handle the crew? Will this story happen to you, where the audition director just cries and says he has to marry you?
Therefore, everyone had no special emotions towards Zhang Yuanjun who came back from the audition. Instead, after learning that Huang Jinping said to Zhang Yuanjun, "Go back first, we will notify you as soon as there is any further news." He comforted him:
"Take good classes and you will have many opportunities in the future."
Zhang Yuanjun smiled and said: "What if someone really uses me? Didn't I say that I would be notified as soon as there is any news?"
"You came out to run away on your first day? Do you want people to tell you in person that you can't stand up and go back?" Luo Jin and Zhu Yawen have rich experience of being rejected in auditions.
"If I can't stand up to Guihai, I'll go and have a good job." Zhang Yuanjun curled his lips.
Luo and Zhu looked at him like a fool: "If you want to brag, brag too loudly. Zhang Jizhong is going to film "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Why don't you say you will play Yang Guo?"
Zhang Yuanjun climbed up the pole and said, "It's not impossible if the bearded man invites me."
Seeing that he was getting more and more ridiculous, the two of them ignored him and went out to eat in the cafeteria.
"Bring me a meal."
"You have no legs."
"I've been running outside for a long time and I don't want to move anymore. Bring me some food and buy me a bottle of Coke."
"You're not working out, but you still dare to drink Coke?"
"The audition consumes too much. I need sugar to make me happy." Zhang Yuanjun was lying on Luo Jin's bed on the lower bunk.
The two went out and Zhang Yuanjun closed his eyes and took a nap. Ten minutes later, Zhang Yuanjun’s Nokia rang.
Zhang Yuanjun took out his phone with his eyes closed and pressed the answer button: "Hello, who's there?"
"Me." It was Liu Yifei's voice.
Zhang Yuanjun's eyes were still closed and he said, "Is the show over?"
"Well, this morning went well, just in time for dinner. Have you eaten?"
"Not yet. I'm lying in the dormitory and asked Luo Jin to bring me food." Zhang Yuanjun politely asked back, "What about you, have you eaten?"
"Take a rest and eat later." The girl's voice was soft and she seemed tired. "I heard that you went to audition?"
"Yes." Zhang Yuanjun responded gently.
"How do you feel?" The girl's voice revealed the joy of watching a good show.
"It's not bad, I think people are quite satisfied with me." Zhang Yuanjun answered honestly, and then said a little confidently, "I think I can be selected."
Zhang Yuanjun also wanted someone to share his joy with.
But Liu Yifei also didn't believe that Zhang Yuanjun could be selected.
Apart from being handsome and doing better in school, Zhang Yuanjun has no foundation in the entertainment industry.
There is no agent to run for him, no company to take care of him.
If such people want to rise to the top, they can only start from supporting roles.
Zhang Yuanjun wanted to play the leading role since he came up, which was so unrealistic.
Even though she had a godfather to pave the way for her, she only played the supporting role of Bai Xiuzhu in her first play.
Judging from Zhang Yuanjun's usual behavior, his family's conditions should be good - classmates and teachers don't know the real conditions of Zhang Yuanjun's family.
But no one clears the way for him, and he will suffer in the end.
Thinking of this, Liu Yifei wanted to give some advice, hoping that he could put down his high arrogance and start acting in small roles.
Just as he was about to speak, Zhang Yuanjun on the other side of the phone spoke: "No more, Luo Jin and the others are back. I'm done eating. I'll hang up."
Liu Yifei was so angry when she heard the busy tone on her phone!
