Under the guidance of the staff, Li Youfan walked into the audition room.
The first time he saw Tan Yue, he couldn't help but have deep and complicated emotions in his heart.
This man... Well, if I hadn't been so arrogant at that time, if I had listened to my boss and recorded a "Tucao Conference", maybe I would be the Zhang Wenhua I am today.
However, in this world, there is no regret medicine for sale. Even if he regrets it so much that he wants to vomit blood, it will not help.
He came to the center of the room and stood up, looked at the three judges opposite him solemnly, bowed, and said: "Hello, three judges, I am Li Youfan, and I hope to audition for the third male role in "Lotus Lantern" Ao Chun's corner."
After Li Youfan briefly introduced himself, he stopped talking.
Tan Yue didn't have much contact with Li Youfan, because after he joined the company, Li Youfan had fallen from the first line to the second line, and was no longer ranked among the company's artists.
Moreover, the program department that Tan Yue manages has not invited Li Youfan, so Tan Yue has only heard about Li Youfan.
Tan Yue didn't know much about Li Youfan, but others knew Li Youfan very well.
Many people were surprised to see the humble and polite young man standing in the middle of the conference room.
Is this the arrogant Li Youfan back then? At that time, Li Youfan, a young and energetic A-list star, did not buy face from anyone in the company except Boss Chen.
Sure enough, there is still a lack of social beatings.
Everyone was thinking this in their hearts.
Tan Yue said: "Hello Li Youfan, I don't know what went wrong. We didn't receive any news in advance that you were going to audition for the third male role, Ao Chun?"
Li Youfan nodded, looked at Tan Yue, and said: "Mr. Tan, I got the news about the recruitment of actors for "Lotus Lantern" relatively late, so I didn't have time to tell the staff."
Tan Yue nodded, did not continue to ask further questions, and said, "You haven't read part of Ao Chun's script before, right?"
Li Youfan said: "Yes."
Tan Yue picked up the script of Ao Chun, the third male lead, on the table, handed it to the staff next to him, and said to Li Youfan: "I will give you five more minutes to understand. After fifteen minutes, you will perform Ao Chun's first performance." The scene where he came out.”
The staff took the script and sent it to Li Youfan.
After listening to Tan Yue's words, Li Youfan's tense mood finally relaxed a little since he came in. He was so scared that he didn't even give him a chance to try.
Looking at Tan Yue, there was an extra sense of gratitude.
A few years ago, he wouldn't have known what gratitude was, because he had everything going smoothly since his debut, until he became a top-notch guy and a big star.
But after he passed his peak, he soon tasted the warmth and warmth of human relationships. Only after being whipped by the cruelty of reality again and again did Li Youfan mature.
Because if you are not mature yet, then you really have to say goodbye to the entertainment industry.
Tan Yue gave him this opportunity, and he was grateful to Tan Yue.
"Thank you, Mr. Tan. Thank you also to the two judges."
Li Youfan bowed again.
Lin Qingye looked at the somewhat reserved and humble Li Youfan, and felt a little confused for a moment. It wasn't until Li Youfan walked aside to prepare that he looked away and shook his head.
If I had known this, why would I do it in the first place?
If Li Youfan was as humble and hard-working as Zhang Wenhua at the beginning, even if he is not as good as Zhang Wenhua now, he would not be so miserable.
I want to change now, will it be useful?
It is said that a country is easy to change but nature is hard to change. Lin Qingye is not optimistic about Li Youfan who seems to have changed now.
I didn't seize such a good opportunity at the beginning, and now I have lost everything. It is too difficult to start over again.
Tan Yue looked at Li Youfan who was preparing carefully over there, withdrew his gaze and spoke to Lin Qingye and Zhang Hong next to him.
Other characters can be solved, or there are top options, but the role of the male lead Agarwood is a bit tricky.
In the company, someone also came to audition for Agarwood.
But Tan Yue was not satisfied and could not achieve the feeling he wanted.
It is estimated that the company cannot find a suitable candidate for Chenxiang, and will have to choose from the outside world.
Although this is a waste of money flowing to outsiders, there is nothing we can do to ensure the quality of "Lotus Lantern".
Fifteen minutes later.
After the staff reminded him, Li Youfan put away the script, took a breath, and walked back to the middle of the conference room.
After Tan Yue finished speaking, Li Youfan started performing.
Li Youfan has also been practicing his acting skills hard during this period. He knows very well that the only one who can save him is himself.
If he doesn't work hard himself, he will only be met with destruction.
Li Youfan learned from some of his former friends and practiced hard at home. After all, his acting skills have been greatly improved compared to before.
After watching Li Youfan's performance, Tan Yue didn't feel any brighter.
Li Youfan's performance can only be said to be quite satisfactory, with no advantage over the previous actors who auditioned for Ao Chun.
This is also normal. Although Li Youfan has practiced his acting skills hard during this period, his acting skills have greatly improved, but that is because his previous acting skills were too poor.
In other words, his acting skills were almost zero.
On the basis of zero, there has been a big improvement. It is conceivable that the acting skills will not be so superb.
Lin Qingye, who was sitting next to Tan Yue, raised his eyebrows. This Li Youfan could actually act?
Lin Qingye is one of the most famous directors in the company, and he collaborated with Li Youfan on several dramas. He knew Li Youfan's acting skills very well. If Li Youfan was not a member of the company, and if Li Youfan did not have such a large traffic, Lin Qingye would not use him even if he paid Lin Qingye.
Li Youfan's acting skills are so exaggerated and exaggerated that people can't bear to watch him.
Tan Yue didn't know what Li Youfan was like before, so he couldn't feel it, but he just thought it was okay.
But Lin Qingye knew that Li Youfan's acting skills were terrible in the past, so he was quite surprised when he suddenly saw Li Youfan's current performance.
.......
No results were given to Li Youfan, but he was asked to go back and wait for notification like other actors.
After Li Youfan left, Tan Yue and the others started chatting.
Tan Yue said: "Teachers, what do you think of Li Youfan's performance?"
Zhang Hong thought for a moment and said: "I think it's pretty good, not too bad, not very good either."
Lin Qingye clicked his tongue twice, and after Tan Yue and Zhang Hong looked over, he said: "Mr. Tan, Teacher Zhang, you may not know Li Youfan well before. I have filmed several dramas with him, uh, Let me tell you this, after watching his performance just now, I was a little scared."
Zhang Hong raised his eyebrows, as if he remembered something.
Tan Yue was surprised. He looked at Lin Qingye and didn't quite understand what Lin Qingye meant when he said he was a little scared.
"Director Lin, are you scared?"
Lin Qingye explained Tan Yue's doubts. He sighed and said, "I can see that Li Youfan is really working hard and wants to give it another try."
"His previous acting skills, well, let me tell you this, his acting skills just now are completely different from his previous acting skills."
"Three years ago, if he had performed at this level, he wouldn't have ended up in such a miserable state now."
Tan Yue was stunned. The acting skills performed by Li Youfan just now can only be said to be acceptable, but they are far from superb.
But this kind of acting skills, compared with Li Youfan's previous acting skills, was actually used by Lin Qingye to describe it as a world of difference.
Good guy, Li Youfan's acting skills must have been so bad before.
At this time, Tan Yue remembered some news reports about Li Youfan that he had accidentally seen.
Many news have criticized Li Youfan's acting skills. He always tells the audience that he is acting, and there is no acting skills at all.
Thinking about Li Youfan's performance just now, Tan Yue couldn't help but feel that it was still okay.
Shaking his head and no longer thinking about those things, Tan Yue said to Lin Qingye and Zhang Hong, "Teachers, do you think Li Youfan is suitable to play Ao Chun?"
Tan Yue himself is not a professional film and television person. He is still studying. He can only be said to be an amateur close to a professional. The two people sitting next to him are both professionals.
Therefore, although it is up to Tan Yue to decide whether the actor can play the role, Tan Yue will still respect the opinions of Lin Qingye and Zhang Hong.
Zhang Hong glanced at Lin Qingye, then looked at Tan Yue, and spoke first, "Mr. Tan, Director Lin, let me talk first."
"I feel that Li Youfan did not perform better than the previous three artists. Even the two actors in front of him performed better than Li Youfan."
"Also, Li Youfan's current reputation is not very good. If our crew uses him, it might be affected."
Tan Yue and Lin Qingye both heard what Zhang Hong meant.
Now in the eyes of many viewers, Li Youfan is already the representative of bad dramas and bad movies. If Li Youfan is used, then "Lotus Lantern" is likely to be affected. It has not yet started broadcasting. If the cast list is released, it will be Many viewers passed.
This is not nonsense, this is something everyone in the entertainment industry knows, and it is also an important reason why many popular stars are in a worse situation than other has-been singers and actors after their popularity has passed.
If the traffic is gone, who dares to use you? Looking for scolding?
Last year, a major domestic director wanted to shoot a science fiction blockbuster. He was full of expectations for this science fiction blockbuster, hoping to win international awards.
However, in that drama, the male lead chose a popular star who had begun to decline at the time.
At that time, the traffic star was still at the top and had just declined. The entertainment company behind the traffic star hoped to extend the peak period of the star in an attempt to make a lot of money.
Then it took a lot of effort to let that popular star serve as the male lead in a science fiction blockbuster.
The brokerage company and the traffic star himself are looking forward to the follow-up results.
But the effect was completely different from what they imagined. What greeted them was a nightmare.
The defeat is like a mountain, and the fall is as bad as the height you occupy. After the peak period of a traffic star, it does not go downhill slowly, but rolls down very steeply.
This sci-fi blockbuster, which has high hopes from a major director, has not yet been released. It was ridiculed by the entire Internet during the promotion period. After it was released, it was boycotted by many netizens.
Not to mention competing for international awards, this sci-fi blockbuster with huge investment has made a huge splash in China.
It is said that nearly 700 million was invested, but the total box office did not even reach 10 million.
Among them, netizens gave it a very low score and a lot of negative reviews, and 90% of these negative reviews were complaining about the declining traffic star.
After this incident, the traffic star who had just declined quickly disappeared from the entertainment industry like a shooting star.
He is simply a box office poison. No director or producer dares to use him anymore.
And the entertainment company behind the traffic star also completely gave up on it.
The worst thing was for the great director. He was in a miserable state. His reputation was ruined and he even lost hundreds of millions to the production company. His future was not going to be easy.
This incident has also taught everyone in the entertainment industry a lesson.
Traffic stars are just for making money. If they go downhill, don't worry about them.
That's why Zhang Wenhua's specialness has attracted a lot of attention, and many celebrities are envious and jealous of him.
This is the only traffic star who did not fall quickly after going downhill. He is also the only weirdo who has transformed from traffic to a powerful artist.
Tan Yue frowned, Zhang Hong's words needed to be considered.
Will using Li Youfan cause the audience to boycott the show?
At this time, Lin Qingye coughed lightly, attracting the attention of Tan Yue and Zhang Hong.
Lin Qingye said: "If I didn't see Li Youfan's performance today, then I must have the same idea as Mr. Zhang. The outdated traffic star is a box office bomb. You can hide as far away as you can."
"But after seeing Li Youfan's performance today, I suddenly felt that this might also be a good boost."
"Although Li Youfan is no longer top-notch and has started to decline, he still has a lot of traffic and popularity. It's just that this popularity is not positive, but mostly negative."
"But it's also a lot of energy. If it can be harnessed, our show might become a hit before it even airs."
"If Li Youfan uses it well, his impact alone may be greater than the effect of all our later publicity."
"I have confidence in our "Lotus Lantern". If we can attract the audience, they will definitely not let them leave cursing and have the opportunity to give us negative reviews and low scores on the Internet and film review websites."
Lin Qingye said, paused, and then said: "One more thing, Li Youfan's performance just now was already good, and it was much improved than before. This is not only a good gimmick to attract the audience, but also make us believe more. he."
"We can see that he is working hard, and he is different from other traffic stars who are just waiting to die and withdraw from the industry. I think this is very important."
Lin Qingye's idea was different from Zhang Hong's. He advocated using Li Youfan.
Tan Yue nodded lightly, Li Youfan was a double-edged sword, it depends on how he uses it.
