When I entered the crew's office, I saw that the people who came to audition were really crazy. The small courtyard was packed with people.
However, Xiang Nan has seen this kind of scene frequently.
Nowadays, the film and television drama market in the mainland is not yet developed. In 1997, the production of TV dramas was only 6,000 episodes. In comparison, in the past five years, the number of episodes that cannot be broadcast after production has reached more than 40,000.
This shows how backward the production capacity of the mainland film and television drama market was in the 1990s.
Contrary to the backward production capacity, the number of film and television employees has surged.
There are hundreds of thousands of people working outside the Beijing Film Studio alone. Not counting students who graduated from major universities and art schools.
In addition, in 1993, the Radio, Film and Television Administration issued "Several Opinions on Deepening the Current Mechanism Reform of the Film Industry" to reform the film industry and abolish unified purchasing and marketing, which caused operating difficulties for all national film studios.
A large number of employees were forced to branch out and fend for themselves. All these have intensified the competition, so that every crew can see a large number of applicants as long as they recruit people, which is very exaggerated.
However, although there are many applicants, most of them are just waiting in line to submit their resumes. I couldn't even meet the assistant director, let alone the director and producer.
And their resumes, most of the time, are impossible to notice and are basically treated as garbage. Those who can really be selected are mostly people with status, background, and connections.
For example, Yang La, the son of teacher Yang Lixin, once revealed that when he went to the film crew to submit his resume, people told him to go back and wait for news after accepting it, but every time he got nothing, and there was no response at all.
It wasn't until later when he submitted his resume that he reported his father's name. The staff was impressed and moved him to the back to meet with the director and producer, which improved the success rate.
The same is true for Xiang Nan now.
Because he is a star himself and has a different status. So after arriving at the office, you can go directly to the back to meet the director and producer without sending in your resume.
In this way, he will naturally be much better than those in the hospital who have worked hard to submit resumes.
…
"Hey, isn't that Yuan Hua? He's here to audition too?"
"I don't know what role he is going to play, but don't be too impatient with me!"
"At his age, there is no one else but Wumin. Now, if you want to audition for this role, you should go home early."
After seeing him, people talked a lot.
For a moment, the faces of those who were preparing to apply for the Five Civilizations darkened, and their eyes turned sharp when they looked at Xiang Nan.
Xiang Nan has long been accustomed to this kind of envious and jealous look. He didn't change his expression and his heart didn't beat. He walked through the crowd with an indifferent expression and was directly invited to the reception room at the back by the staff.
"Hello, Director Yang! Hello, Teacher Feng!" After meeting, Xiang Nan greeted Yang Anzhou and Feng Gong with a smile.
"Hello, Mr. Yuan." Yang Anzhou nodded.
Feng Gong came over with a smile and held Xiang Nan's hand affectionately, "Xiao Yuan, long time no see, you are very angry now."
The two of them met often on the Spring Festival Gala crew. Although they didn't have much contact, they became familiar with each other.
"Thank you, Teacher Feng, for the compliment! Compared to you, I still have a long way to go." Xiang Nan smiled humbly.
"Work hard." Feng Gong smiled, "Xiao Yuan, do you want to apply for the role of [Five People]?"
"Yes!" Xiang Nan nodded, "I have watched the movie "The Happy Life of Zhang Damin". I think it is very well written and deeply reflects the joys and sorrows of the urban civilian class. If it is made into a film and television drama, it will definitely be popular. It will be very exciting.
"Nothing Happens" is directed by Director Yang and stars Mr. Feng. I think the creative team is also very strong, and the films produced in the future will definitely be very exciting. So I just wanted to get some light. "
"You are honest." Yang Aizhou smiled, "Since you have read the original work, tell me, what is your understanding of the character Wu Min?"
"I think the character Wu Min is very representative. He was born into a working-class family in the late 1960s. His two brothers and one sister all made money to support the family, so he never went hungry since he was a child, so his desire for material things is not high.
Once people meet their material needs, they will naturally pursue spiritual satisfaction.
In particular, Wu Min has been educated since he was a child. Not only did he graduate from high school, but he also went to college, making him better than his brother and sister. This shows that he is smart, motivated and pursuing.
But at home, he is the most ignored person. Not only did he have no place to live, but no one cared about his feelings. Over time, he felt aggrieved at home and wanted to go out..." Xiang Nan said eloquently.
Yang Anzhou and Feng Gong both smiled and nodded while listening.
Although Xiang Nan is young, he has a profound understanding of the role. It can be said that the whip penetrates deeply and hits the nail on the head.
…
"Xiao Yuan, you have a pretty good understanding of the characters." Feng Gong nodded, "Then let's do another scene. Just the scene where Wu Min is admitted to college and becomes drunk and crazy."
"Okay." Xiang Nan nodded.
Zhang Wumin didn't appear many times in the film. After being admitted to college, he became drunk and went crazy. This was a rare highlight moment for him, and it was also a relatively difficult part to act.
If the acting is not strong enough, it will not reflect the grievances he has endured for many years; if the acting is strong enough, it will easily remind people of the roaring leader Ma Jingtao.
Xiang Nan read the lines first, worked up his emotions for a while, and then held his breath three times for thirty seconds each time.
Seeing his move, Feng Gong and Yang Azhou were a little confused at first.
But a moment later, when they saw Xiang Nan's face turning red due to holding in his breath, both of them couldn't help but secretly raise their thumbs.
He can hold his breath to make his face turn red and pretend to be drunk. It has to be said that Xiang Nan is really a bit crooked.
"Okay, Teacher Feng, let's do it." Xiang Nan said to Feng Gong after he was ready.
Feng Gong nodded and quickly entered the mood.
"My family is short of money. Don't send me any money!"
Xiang Nan rubbed his neck and said with a little cry.
"You are my mother's biological child, not picked up on the street."
Feng Gong's words were sincere and sincere.
"Tear down my bed. Don't let mom sleep in the box. Let mom sleep on my single bed!"
Xiang Nan whimpered, the sound of crying getting louder and louder, and the circles under his eyes getting redder and redder, with eyeballs swaying in them.
"Mom is comfortable sleeping in a box, but she can't get used to sleeping anywhere else."
Feng Gong pretended to be relaxed and authentic.
"Our home is so oppressive and crowded. I can't even breathe."
Xiang Nan burst out crying, tears rolling down her face.
"Brother, I'm almost exhausted~" he roared in pain, his body struggling like a live fish thrown to the shore.
"Okay, okay!" When Feng Gong and Yang Anzhou saw it, they couldn't help but clapped their hands and praised him.
Xiang Nan's acting skills are explosive, infectious, and vivid. He really doesn't look like someone who has just learned acting.
