Style: Romance Author: Not an old dogWords: 7257Update Time: 24/01/11 19:06:33
9:30.

The audition officially begins.

After the staff guarding the door went out to inform, Xu Xin suddenly yawned.

After using this yawn to fight off all the fatigue, he picked up the first document.

"Well...Mao Xiaotong."

His eyes fell on the bridge of the girl's nose in the photo.

After looking at it, he handed the information to Zhang Yimou.

Specifically pointed out.

Zhang Yimou glanced twice and said nothing.

Then, the door was pushed open, and a girl with a single ponytail walked in.

When I saw the audition directors sitting in two rows, she actually performed pretty well. She didn't seem particularly nervous. Instead, she walked to the middle of the room where the cross tape was pasted with her head held high. After bowing, she began to introduce herself:

"Hello directors, my name is Mao Xiaotong, I am 21 years old..."

After introducing himself, without Xu Xin or anyone else speaking, Sun Liwen, the audition guide brought over by Qi Lei, saw that Director Zhang and Director Xu had no intention of speaking, and said:

"Please come and pick up the audition footage."

After Mao Xiaotong walked over, Sun Liwen took out a note from the box with names such as "Jingqiu", "Lao San", "Chang Lin" and "Wei Hong" written on them.

The note was taken out of Jingqiu's box, which means that she came to audition for the role of "Jingqiu".

The above is a short sentence:

"Jingqiu was writing textbooks in the house and heard the third child outside talking to Chang Lin. She was peeking in, full of curiosity and concern for the third child."

After Sun Liwen handed her the note, he said:

"You have one minute to prepare."

"thank you."

Mao Xiaotong took it with both hands politely and began to prepare.

Then, after Sun Liwen reminded "time is up," she made a spying movement.

It's like standing outside the mouth of a well, peering into the well, trying to see what's inside...

Seeing this performance, Xu Xin gave her an X in her heart instantly.

In about a minute, Mao Xiaotong's performance ended.

Sun Liwen turned around and looked at everyone again, and after confirming that the directors had no intention of continuing to ask, he said:

"Okay, you can leave. If there is any news, we will inform you."

"...Okay, thank you director."

Mao Xiaotong seemed to realize that his performance was not up to par, and a look of disappointment finally appeared on his face.

Left disappointed.

As soon as she left, Xu Xin casually threw the information into the eliminated basket at his feet, and then said to Zhang Yimou:

"Her nose... was plastic surgery, right?"

"Um."

Zhang Yimou nodded:

"The signs are quite obvious."

"It's a pity, it's quite beautiful. It would be okay in a TV series, but in a movie... it's too abrupt... Next one."

Hearing Xu Xin's words, Xu Zhi couldn't help but ask:

"From what I can tell, I think her nose is quite high..."

"How many Asians have you seen with noses like hers? So it's very unnatural."

Xu Xin explained.

But Xu Zhi was recalling the girl's appearance and the parts of the performance... After Lou Yixiao came in, he muttered something in hindsight.

"It's quite unnatural..."

As an "investor", this was his first time participating in such a situation, and his reaction was obviously slower than everyone else's.

but……

It doesn't matter.

Men, like the new and hate the old.

Seeing Lou Yixiao, who became popular because of "Love Apartment", Xu Zhi felt like an emperor.

The front leg was fascinated by "Mao Fei", but before Mao Fei could warm her body, the back leg realized that this noble Lou seemed to be too.

Not bad... Oh, this dare... No, Kan concubine is not bad either...

Throughout the morning, Xu Zhi was completely fascinated by the flowers.

But for Xu Xin, this audition was not so pleasant.

In a whole morning... let alone Jingqiu, no one else could bring him any surprise.

No one can nest with "their" Jingqiu.

Every girl does not meet her own definition of pure on the outside and charming on the inside.

There are dozens of actors, but the men's smiles don't look pure and clean, and the girls don't look so coquettish.

There wasn't even a "barely okay" person all morning.

It made him feel a little anxious for a moment.

During lunch, Zhang Yimou, who could see that he was anxious, said:

"You go back with me tonight. I've found a pretty good young man here. Come and have a look."

"Okay." Xu Xin responded.

After eating, everyone rested for another hour.

Auditions resume.

Just as the afternoon audition began, suddenly, a surprise was delivered to him.

Xu Xin was stunned when he saw Jing Tian walking in with braids.

"Um???"

His eyes lit up instantly.

This look...

This temperament...

Like a cake with the brand "Jingqiu" written on it, it landed directly on Xu Xin's face.

He instinctively looked at the old man.

As expected, the old man's brows suddenly frowned.

Xu Xin, who was extremely familiar with him, naturally knew that this frown was a sign of falling into some kind of thinking state.

After thinking about it, he said hello to Jing Tian:

"Coming? Are you here?"

Jingdian nodded as he walked in:

"Looked at it."

After she answered, Xu Xin also said to the others:

"Her name is Jing Tian. Our families are family friends and we were classmates in the same class. When we were filming "The Wind", she played a guest role as a maid who took Li Ningyu to the torture room."

This was mainly said to Zhang Yimou.

But others got it too.

Obviously... this girl made Director Xu have a different attitude.

It seems closely related.

But... let’s not talk about whether it’s related or not.

Just because of her braided dress and the feeling she exudes...

It gives people a different feeling.

At this time, Zhang Yimou spoke:

"Take off your coat first."

"OK."

After hearing this, Jing Tian no longer chatted with Xu Xin, but took off the long down jacket that looked a little heavy.

Her choice today is a gray sweater paired with jeans and sneakers.

It can be said that maintaining body surface temperature depends entirely on that down jacket.

After taking off her clothes, she stood openly in front of everyone.

No one spoke.

The whole room was staring at her with scrutinizing eyes.

This look can almost be said to be unscrupulous.

Then, Zhang Yimou said:

"How much do you weigh now?"

"104 pounds, just weighed this morning."

After hearing her answer, Zhang Yimou nodded slightly and looked at her facial features.

After looking at it for probably tens of seconds, he asked Xu Xin:

"What do you think?"

"Let's audition first... What are you busy with during this time?"

"I went to the National Theater. They were rehearsing a play called "White Deer Plain". I played Tian Xiao'e. After talking to you last time, Brother Xu, the play was canceled and I have been honing my acting skills in the theater."

well

Sweet words revealed more about her relationship with Xu Xin.

But Xu Xin was extremely satisfied after hearing this.

He was curious about such an obedient girl.

It turned out that I was arranging "White Deer Plain". No wonder I haven't seen anyone in the past few months.

Just follow the normal route of fighting monsters and upgrading, step by step... Anyway, you are not a acting genius. Only through hard work and hard work can you be on the right path.

"Okay, I'm looking forward to your performance. Give her the final farewell to Jingqiu and Lao San. You have two minutes to prepare. Come on!"

Show your preference without any scruples.

After Sun Liwen handed over the note, Jing Tian nodded, took a look at the note, and took a deep breath...

Emotions begin to brew.

Others remained silent.

Until two minutes later, Xu Xin said:

"Three, two, one...start."

There are no lines in this scene.

How to act depends entirely on the actor himself.

There was only one sentence on the note:

"Jingqiu looked at Lao San, who was lying on the hospital bed with purple eyes all over, and burst into tears. Finally, with the calls of "I'm Jingqiu, I'm here to see you", Lao San closed her eyes completely. "

And when Xu Xin said "start", Jing Tian first covered her mouth and nose and yawned...

I immediately squeezed out a few tears...

"..."

Xu Xin's mouth twitched.

You are so upright...doing this blatantly?

But it was immediately followed by tears... How should I put it, it was like a car that usually filled with 95 gasoline, but suddenly added 92.

Although the gasoline label is wrong, but...

Barely usable.

Don't worry about how these tears came out. In short, her tears are now spinning in her eye sockets.

Then, he stared at the air in front of him, as if looking at the third child in the ward, and began to whisper in a choked voice:

"I am Jingqiu... Wuwu... I am... Wuwu... I am Jingqiu... Wuwu... Wuyin, look at me... I am Jingqiu... Wuwu..."

Frankly speaking.

The crying was fake.

But the expression is spot on.

But facial expressions alone are not enough. The fake crying and emotions give people a weird feeling that cannot be contrasted.

Not very coordinated.

And Jing Tian seemed to have noticed it herself. Suddenly, she stopped crying and looked at Xu Xin:

"Can I try it again? I found the wrong entry point."

Xu Xin, who was really criticizing her acting skills, heard the girl's still upright words, and he nodded as if he was not surprised:

"good."

But her upright look left several people, including Zhang Yimou, speechless.

For a moment, I didn't even know where this girl was from.

Why does Director Xu... treat her so differently?

Then, it took about 30 seconds.

Jing Tian wiped away her tears and suddenly took a few steps back.

"That's it."

"Okay, let's get started."

Following Xu Xin's words, she did not yawn this time, but just stared blankly at the empty space she was looking at just now, her eyes unblinking.

That straight look...how should I put it?

It was like seeing some kind of scene that subverted the outlook on life.

With unbelievable fear, he still stared at "Lao San's hospital bed" without blinking.

At this moment, Zhang Yimou seemed to understand something, and a speechless smile appeared on his subconscious face.

As a result, everyone noticed that her big eyes began to slowly turn red.

It turns red, the body trembles, and the muscles on the face begin to tighten...

She seemed to be resisting the impact of the scene before her, so much so that her body began to tremble.

It's said that... big tears began to fall down.

After the tears started to fall, she walked forward step by step.

Walking and blinking.

After her tears gradually stopped, she returned to the same position as before.

"Old... Third child..."

"I am Jingqiu..."

"I'm Jingqiu..."

"Look at me..."

"I am Jingqiu..."

A crying voice sounded in the audition hall.

"I'm here...look at me...it's me, Jingqiu!...The third child...I'm Jingqiu..."

There's nothing heart-rending about that girl's unique cry.

On the contrary, there was a smile.

The moment this smile appeared, the corners of Jing Tian's pear-shaped mouth began to rise:

"Look...I'm here...Jingqiu is here...did you hear it? I'm here to see you..."

When she said this, she smiled the whole time.

Even the tone was in a playful "I'm here to see you" tone, but the taste was very forced.

Everything is artificial and deliberate.

And just after saying this...suddenly, the sobbing turned into heartbreaking words:

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuah...I am Jingqiu! I am really Jingqiu! I am really here...look at me...Jingqiu is here...the third child..."

The mood changes very naturally.

At least it's much better than the first time.

That deliberate smile... was quite eye-catching.

Watching her performance, Xu Xin squinted his eyes, imagining in his mind what this scene in the movie would show.

Well, from the moment she puts on a forced smile, the cameras will start rolling.

He pulled away from her little by little and switched to the blurry vision of the third child as he lay dying.

Whether there is a blurred lens... I still need to think about it.

But in the end, Jingqiu must not be shown in the picture, but only Jingqiu’s movements will come in from the voice-over...

Thinking of this, he shouted:

"Okay, stop."

He stopped the show.

Then he recalled the performance just now in his mind, and nodded to Jing Dessert, who had tears on his face:

"It has improved a lot compared to before. Although there are still many flaws, but... at least the method is used correctly, and you know how to use your brain to perform. So far, this is the most satisfactory performance I have ever seen from you."

"I didn't find an acting teacher or ask any teachers at school. I figured this out myself."

Hearing Jing Tian's words, Xu Xin responded with a smile:

"Well, okay, that's it for now. We'll keep in touch when the time comes."

"OK."

Jing Tian nodded similarly, then picked up her clothes and bowed to everyone:

"Thanks for your hard work, directors. Goodbye."

Soon, she walked out.

But Xu Xin waved his hand to the staff guarding the door calling for help, and then turned around and asked:

"What do you think?"

"Does she have a deep relationship with you?"

Zhang Yimou asked rhetorically.

Xu Xin didn’t hide it either:

"Well, my dad and her family are in business together, and we have a good relationship. But don't worry too much, this girl has a straight temper."

After hearing this, Zhang Yimou understood the relationship between the two and the energy behind this girl.

After thinking for a while, he said:

"As far as acting is concerned, it's actually very unnatural. She's too young. But she's very smart and knows how to use her brain... Can you tell? Why did she cry?"

"Yeah. Don't blink, it makes your eyes sore."

"Yes. But that's what I'm worried about."

Recalling the performance just now:

"She could think for herself and knew that her performance was wrong, so she did it again. And her condition was indeed much better the second time.

But...it's still too superficial. This is a very...difficult thing to do. If you want to correct it, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort. But... in terms of image and temperament, it's very suitable. "

This is the judgment given by Zhang Yimou.

And Xu Xin actually had exactly the same idea in mind.

"Her acting skills are indeed too weak... In fact, her teacher at school also said that. In terms of acting talent, her talent is actually very average. But let's not mention this aspect. So far, her overall score should be It’s the highest…”

"Her frame is very similar to Liang Bingning's. They are both women with large frames."

Director of photography Wang Lei also spoke:

"Women with big frames will look "fat". But the charm that comes from the bones is stronger than that of a woman with a small frame. This aspect suits Jingqiu very well. But...personally, I think it's still too fat.

If Director Xu finally decides that it is her, then I suggest that she should lose weight below 100...90 to 95 is the best range. The thinner you are, the more obvious your pitiful temperament will be, and the more protective a man will be. But in terms of figure and face, she does look a lot like Jingqiu. 「

"Um!"

Seeing that no one else had any objections, Xu Xin left this information in the promotion basket.

Became the first "Jingqiu" to be promoted.



After a whole day of auditions, in addition to Jing Tian, ​​Xu Xin also found two roles that were more suitable for the third child.

Because both boys have clean smiles.

There are actually the most roles suitable for Chang Lin... Of course, this cannot be ruled out because his requirements are relatively low:

"Honest and honest."

In short, after filtering the actors through a sieve, there are only so many left.

But it's not over yet.

We have to continue tomorrow, after all, there are many actors behind us.

Strictly speaking, today can only be regarded as an appetizer, because most of the people auditioning are current students or actors who have just debuted.

Some famous and influential people will start to come here one after another tomorrow.

Not just their audition, tomorrow, December 1st, Xu Xin will also attend the premiere of "Three Guns".

A live broadcast hosted by Yanjing TV Station.

After the audition during the day, I went directly to participate in the evening.

Then auditions will continue on December 2nd.

Then, on December 4th, he will audition for the role in "The Thirteen Beauties" under the guise of "The Hawthorn Tree".

It's all his business.

After the audition, he will start preparing for the filming of the short film "Deal".

After finishing everything such as the crew and location selection, we have to go back to Shenmu to hold another full moon party for our children.

After the full moon drink, I went to attend the Golden Horse Awards. After attending the Golden Horse Awards, I had to drag Liu Yifei into the filming period.

After shooting, I quickly sent this short film to the College Student Video Festival before the end of the year.

It can be seen to the naked eye that he will be very busy this month.



This time back to Zhang Yimou's house, Xu Xin took Xu Zhi with him.

The old man said it wouldn't take long, and he also knew about his relationship with Xu Zhi.

They came to see the child, and dinner was ready at home, so Xu Xin let him go after seeing his favorite candidate.

So, a total of four people, including Zhang Mo, followed Zhang Yimou all the way back to Shanshui Wenyuan.

Xu Xin ignored Xu Zhi, who came to Director Zhang's house for the first time and was full of curiosity. While making a cup of tea, Zhang Mo took out a video tape.

After putting it in the projector and jumping the time, Zhang Yimou pointed at the young man on the TV with a very popular hairstyle and who looked a little dark-skinned and said:

"His name is Dou Yao, have you seen him in school?"

"Uh... no. Also from Beiying?"

"Well, I'm a sophomore this year."

With that said, Zhang Mo showed the footage of Dou Yao's audition.

"Hello director, my name is Dou Yao, I am a sophomore student from Beijing Film Academy grade 08. My height is 1@

, this person...how do you say that word? Oh yes, a self-esteem sensitive personality. He doesn’t like others disrespecting him, he likes people to hold him up...like an admirer...understand?"

"Who do you worship?...Worship him? How do you worship...***, you two went out to play with the ladies?"

"..."

Xu Zhi was speechless and very dissatisfied:

"That's called socializing. What? You've become a good person and still want to drag me ashore? It's not like you were the prodigal son Xu Sanshao who hugged all the clubs in Shenmu..."

"Thief Sun, this is Yanjing. I'm looking for someone to throw you into the moat. Believe it or not!"

Seeing that he was trying to exploit his youthful frivolity, Xu Xin sneered.

Xu Zhi laughed:

"Hahaha, as long as you understand. He is such a person in private... In fact, he is very easy to manipulate. As long as others call him brother, his face will look like a flower in bloom... It's so fun."

"That doesn't sound like much."

"Eh~~No no."

Xu Zhi shook his head:

"Except for this, other times... maybe it's because I want to make a fortune here. Most of the time, I'm not bad. Regardless of whether I'm pretending or not, at least here, I can be regarded as a figure. And this time I knew that I would come to Yanjing to find it. You asked me what you usually like~ After talking about a few things, he brought a basketball signed by Kobe~"

Xu Xin's eyes moved:

"Where's the ball?"

"In the magic city."

"...What are you doing releasing demons?"

"I also like Kobe, so I keep it for myself."

"Are you sick, brother?"

Xu Xin was completely speechless:

"You keep the basketball someone gave me? Why are you so embarrassed?"

But after hearing this, Xu Zhi didn't feel ashamed at all and asked:

"When I bought a four-wheel drive car and an Audi double-diamond motor, the old man brought it back from Guangdong for 70 yuan each, 5,400 rpm! I only played with it for two days, and you used a rubbish triangle sword. I exchanged it with Tornado Charge. I want to exchange it with you. Why don’t you just change it?”

"..."

Either way.

You can't have a deep friendship with this person.

Especially children.

It's best not to have any friends at all. Even if you make a friend, it's best for the child's parents to make sure that they don't let the two of them be friends for life. The best thing is to meet today and break up the relationship tomorrow!

Look, what is this?

Why are you so vindictive?

The most important thing is that I can even remember the data so clearly!

"I will buy you the most expensive Audi Double Diamond motor now, and you can give me Kobe Bryant's basketball, okay?"

"Hahahaha~ You want to be a white wolf again?"

Xu Zhi smiled proudly:

"No. Basketball, I want it. But you still have to accept the favor... Haha, what do you think, I think it's about the same as making a small-budget, low-investment movie... Bring it over and give it a try."

"Are you here to rob me?"

"Ah, no more ink stains. In one sentence, give it or not give it. Do you want to give it? This basketball..."

"Give me?"

"Here you go, consider letting you touch it."

Listen to what he says...

This time it was Xu Xin's turn to be silent.

But after a moment of silence, he nodded:

"Okay, no problem. I'll go back and ask Yang Mi later to see if she has any low-cost ones, so I can get one for you to play with."

"OK, that's interesting!"

"That's it, who of us is following whom? Blood brothers, beloved relatives and friends!"

As Xu Xin spoke, the corners of his mouth began to rise unconsciously.

A veiled sneer flashed away.

Some small-budget movie or something like that... He doesn't care.

People strive to take a breath of Buddha and receive a stick of incense.

Someone gave it to me signed by Kobe Bryant

Basketball...that's all if you don't give it back to me (HUAN).

As long as you let me see and touch it.

Ha ha.

Xu Laoqi!

How did you cheat on your double diamond motor back then!

How can I grab your Kobe Bryant signed basketball this time!

No, it’s not robbery.

How could it be robbery?

That's obviously mine!

Me!
