For more than half a month, the recruitment of actors for "Into the Wild" has continued. The audition location is in the basement of the company. This basement has nearly 200 square meters of space, so that some actors can gain something during the audition. A good effect. It is specially decorated to look like a general performance classroom. There are some building blocks used for stage play scenery, small props, entrance screens and exit doors, and everything else. There is even a place specially set aside for special effects green. curtain wall.
He Tianran has been busy with investment matters recently, so in the past half month, Yu Hui has led the company's director and teachers in charge of clothing and styling to audition here every day.
Just like in a film and television drama with a standard like "Into the Wild", even if it is a small role or a small supporting role that needs to be followed, a hundred people will have to be interviewed in a day. There is a wall in the basement that can be modified. Yuhui and the others are already there It lists all the roles that need to be interviewed this time. There are more than 40 of them. Under the names, the role type, visual age, gender and specialties are written. For example, this role needs to be able to ride horses, have fighting scenes, and needs some skills. Martial arts basics and so on.
As for the character's name, the actor's makeup photo and real name are pasted, which means that the actor has been determined for this role. For those characters without actor photos, it means that the actor's role has not been determined yet and needs to be continued. try.
Generally, the casting process for film and television dramas lasts two to three months, but now two-thirds of the roles in "Into the Wild" are still pending. There are still many opportunities, so the number of actors coming for interviews every day continues unabated. .
"Who the hell took off their costumes and just put them around? After everyone's audition, go to the costume teacher and return the clothes. If you let me see you doing this again, get out of here!"
Yu Hui, who had just finished eating, picked up a piece of costume in the corner where the actors rested and roared loudly. The actors present for the interview were silent. Situations like this have happened almost every day in the past half month, even on the wall. Many big words of caution were posted, but the results were not satisfactory.
After a two-hour break at noon, since many staff members and actors did not come back, Yu Hui put the costumes in his hands back into the dressing room, but as soon as he entered the cubicle, he was stunned.
I saw Wen Liang, whom I had photographed not long ago, sitting in front of the dressing table, looking at her phone and silently reciting her lines.
"Teacher Wen Liang? You didn't even say a word when you came?"
Hearing someone calling him, Wen Liang turned around, saw Yu Hui and smiled:
"Ah, Director Yu, hello, I sent a message to Director He and the others, but when I came you guys just went to have dinner and there was no one there, so Teacher A Liu sent me the scene I wanted to try out in advance on my mobile phone. It's quite good. Okay, I’ll just stay alone and say my words in silence.”
Yuhui approached and greeted:
"Then let me print out the script for you, and call the makeup artist back for you, so that it will be more convenient for you."
"Okay, thank you."
After putting the costumes back on the long row of hangers far away, Sunset stopped interrupting and left in a hurry.
Logically speaking, auditions like this require no makeup, but some period dramas are slightly different from costume dramas, so actors who come to audition for main roles are usually asked to wear light makeup and look good in front of the camera to see the effect.
Especially in costume dramas, some actors are just fine in costume dramas, but their appearance is completely ruined when they act in costumes. Although this is also related to the style, in the final analysis, it is still a fundamental issue.
Not long after, Wen Liang, who was immersed in the script, saw several sheets of A4 paper that had already been ordered. It seemed that Yu Hui was back, so the girl subconsciously blurted out:
"Thank you Yu..."
But before she could finish speaking, she braked in time after seeing the person clearly, and changed her words and asked:
"Aren't you eating?"
"Aren't you here? You need to greet me quickly. I came over after taking two bites. I happened to bump into Yu Hui at the door. I asked you if you were here and sent the script to Teacher Wen. A Liu and the others will be here shortly. "
He Tianran sat down next to her, gently tapped his chin twice, took the paper script and read it carefully without saying anything else.
"..."
The man was a little embarrassed for a moment, so he looked for a topic and said:
"By the way, I heard from Teacher A Liu that you have read the original work several times in the past half month and done a lot of homework?"
Wen Liang's eyes kept falling on the paper, and he replied lightly:
"What else? You didn't tell me who you wanted to play, and you didn't give me the script. You just wrote a blank check. You don't know if you can cash it, so I just watched it and passed the time."
Although the other party said it lightly, He Tianran actually smelled a trace of... resentment from it.
He Tianran scratched his face and explained:
"Oh... this... I haven't finished my work before, and I didn't think of letting you audition after landing. After all, you have already passed here... By the way, what do you think about the role of Yu Wen? What do you think?"
I finally thought of a topic to talk about, but Wen Liang told the truth without mercy:
"dislike."
"..."
Perhaps because he felt that his too straightforward answer was inappropriate, Wen Liang then added:
"But as an actor, I will still try my best to play her well."
"...Can you tell me why you don't like it?"
"Director He, if you just think that my appearance and personality fit the role, or if you want to promote the company's artists, I have no objection to this. I can cooperate with you and even thank you. As for you asking me why I don't like this role... "
At this point, Wen Liang turned around and looked at He Tianran:
"I would like to ask you why you think I am suitable."
When it came to the professional field, He Tianran thought for a moment and said bluntly:
"You mentioned all of these, but the main thing is how well you fit the character. In fact, I see two shadows in you, one is a female, and the other is the female supporting role Yu Wen. It makes no sense for us to talk about the former now. Just talk about it alone. As far as Yu Wen is concerned, whether in the film or in the script, she has a sense of paranoia and a sense of imbalance in love but not giving up. This is very similar to your experience, isn't it?
A flower of human wealth that has been carefully watered since childhood in a wealthy family. Because she didn't want to become a victim of a political marriage, she ran away from home. After almost wandering, she was lucky enough to meet the right one. After knowing the identity of the other person, She was overjoyed that the fate of her loved one and her family could be both harmonious, but this was also the beginning of her misfortune and the beginning of her degeneration, because the person she loved did not love her, and her lover's heart belonged to someone else, which gradually made her go from an extreme to another. Sliding to the other extreme.
If you replaced the love in it with your career, wouldn't you think you are very similar? Although such extreme environments do not exist in reality, these commonalities will definitely help you a lot when playing this role. "
After Wen Liang listened carefully to He Tianran's opinions, he nodded in agreement, and slowly expressed his thoughts:
"Yes, I do have similarities with the character in terms of personality and experience. When I was reading, I could guess that you would most likely ask me to play this role, but suitability is one thing. , whether you like it or not is another matter... How can I compare it to you... Well, it's like there are two boys. In fact, I like one of him, but he is not suitable for you, and the other boy is suitable for me. But I don’t like him. For me, Yu Wen belongs to the latter, but it happens that some of my views also coincide with the views of love that the character wants to express.”
He Tianran understood:
"So, you will all choose the one you like instead of the one that is suitable?"
Unexpectedly, Wen Liang shook his head decisively:
"Yu Wen can choose the one she likes, but I, Wen Liang, can't. This may be the reason why I don't like her."
"...Then you will choose the right one?"
In response to He Tianran's question, Wen Liang stared at him for a few seconds, and He Tianran felt terrified when he was stared at.
"What...what's wrong? Isn't it?"
Wen Liang withdrew his gaze and said slightly frustrated:
"I told you once...but you just forgot, but I might as well say it again..."
Before He Tianran could react, Wen Liang said slowly:
"The person I like must be suitable for me, and the person suitable for me must be what I like. As far as I am concerned, there are not so many obstacles and choices in love. It is impossible for me to let the person I love like others. opportunity, or let myself compromise and beg for some love in a low voice. This does not conform to my concept of love. Take the scene where Yu Wen poisons the emperor as an example. If it were really me, I would not only kill the emperor, I would He wants to be the emperor, why should he frame the heroine and drive a wedge between her and the hero? Why should he be the emperor and I be the queen? Bah! It’s me, I’ll just raise the flag to rebel. Now that I’m on the throne, everyone will You have to die for me!"
After hearing this, He Tianran's eyes were full of excitement.
"What you are talking about...isn't it what Teacher A Liu told you yesterday?"
Wen Liang was stunned: "What?"
"This is the ending of the drama version. The ending has been modified. Teacher A Liu personally changed it. It is said that at that time, readers liked the heroine more, and they disliked the role of Yu Wen more like the second female lead. So she didn’t write it like this, but the film and television series are more tolerant. There are two versions of the ending, one HE and one BE. HE is when the hero and heroine overthrow you and gain happiness. BE is when you kill them, but there is only one around you. There is loneliness.”
"That's it...then I'll have a slightly different view of Yu Wen's character..."
Wen Liang was still a little confused after hearing this, because she didn't expect that her and A Liu's ideas coincided with each other, and He Tianran was even more invisibly inspired. It seemed that she really did not misjudge the person this time. .
He smiled happily and said:
"But it seems that Teacher Wenliang is very satisfied with his relationship history. The person I like will definitely be suitable for me, and the suitable person will definitely like me. If you don't have a little confidence, you may not be able to say this. You don't like it. I can understand Yu Wen, after all, with Teacher Wen Liang’s conditions, there shouldn’t be any tangled situations where love can’t be achieved.”
Wen Liang tilted his head: "This... is indeed... the one thing I don't like about Yu Wen..."
Somehow, she began to hesitate when speaking, as if she was thinking about whether to finish her next words, but when she caught He Tianran's gaze, some words could not help but pop out of her mouth:
"After all, I've never been in love..."
He Tianran thought he heard wrongly, and the smile still hung on his face:
"Oh, Teacher Wenliang, there's no need for you. I'm your boss. I won't tell anyone about this kind of thing, okay."
"I...I mean it."
Wen Liang couldn't help but lowered his head and murmured...
"……ah?"
"……Um!"
He Tianran didn't know how to answer it. His mind was in a state of confusion. He suppressed his desire to mock Wen Liang and raised the corner of his mouth, and confirmed again:
"real?"
"you are annoying!"
He Tianran never expected that Wen Liang has not been in love yet, which is really rare. Although the other party revealed something in Alan Lu's bar last time, He Tianran only confirmed that Wen Liang is single now. , but I don’t really feel that the other person is a girl with zero love experience.
It's normal for celebrities and artists to hide their love experiences. Girls with Wen Liang's status have had suitors all over the campus since high school. At that time, if you said you wanted to prepare for the art exam, it would make sense, but by the time you get to college, there won't be that many. Are you worried?
Therefore, in He Tianran's impression, even if Wen Liang is not a scumbag, she has had one or two love experiences, which is within the normal category. It is unreasonable for a person like her to lack love around her. .
However, it may be because of this that Wen Liang has such a strong understanding of love.
"Then...is there someone you like who doesn't like you?"
He Tianran asked carefully.
"That's all in reverse, how others feel about me."
Wen Liang blushed and maintained her pride.
"Ah... I may have to aggrieve you a bit... There is a scene on your wedding night with the male protagonist, and you know that he has a crush on you..."
"I know I watched it. It doesn't matter. I am an actor and I know how to perform... Have you decided on an actor to play with me?"
"um, I."
"Oh...what? Who?!!"
Wen Liang opened his eyes wide and stood up, looking at He Tianran in disbelief.
"It's just me...what...the male lead hasn't been decided yet..."
He Tianran scratched his head and said awkwardly.
"No...can't you just hook up with any actor outside?"
Wen Liang suggested loudly.
He Tianran thought to himself, am I so unpopular?
But he patiently explained:
"This was decided by Teacher A Liu and the others. I was very embarrassed to ask me to come by name. Moreover, this scene is very important. In order to prevent spoilers when we acted together, we had to clear the scene... And Teacher Wen, please act with me." Xi, are you so emotional?"
After listening to this, Wen Liang sat down slowly and said tangledly:
"It's not that...it's just that...I've really hated you these past two days..."
"……why?"
He Tianran had a dark look on his face.
Wen Liang rolled her eyes at him and said angrily:
"you guess!"
"Your... relatives are here?"
"roll!"
