Actors have no vacation

Chapter 39
Before going to Beijing, Xing Yan and Guan Chen were vaccinated, saying that some directors usually have a general feeling in their hearts for casting roles, and then choose actors based on that feeling.If Guan Chen fails the audition, it does not mean that he is worse than others, it just shows that the feeling of his acting is not in line with the director's.

Guan Chen felt that Xing Yan obviously missed a situation, that is, the role was pre-determined, and he felt that there was no way to go the right way.

After Guan Chen's performance, he could see that the director was very excited, and excluding the possibility of being taken by Stockholm in a short time, it meant that the feeling of his acting was quite close to the director's standard.But the producer on the side obviously has another standard, which Guan Chen regrets not meeting.

"It's hard work, go back and wait for the notice." The producer told him.

Guan Chen pouted, feeling a little unhappy.I feel that I have worked hard to prepare for the exam for a long time, but another candidate took part in the supplementary class and got the exam questions in advance, and easily got full marks.

However, when he was not happy, Guan Chen did not intend to take off the candidate's arm, so that he could never take the test again.

Xing Yan told him in the first class that what determines how far an actor can go in the end is always something other than acting.

Guan Chen picked up his mood in an instant, nodded, stuffed the mask back into the bag, turned around and left.

After going out the door, he checked the time, and it was only nineteen minutes since he entered the room.

Waiting for six or seven hours just for such 10 minutes sounds a little worthless. Fortunately, I had a scene with Zhang Jingsheng in the end, which made Guan Chen feel that this trip was quite interesting.

The earliest performances, like walking on a tightrope, are shaky and can't go on if you don't pay attention.After that, I used Xing Yan's performance method to connect my own things with the characters, and then play it again, like stepping on a broken balance beam.

And Zhang Jingsheng's performance seems to fill in those incomplete places, allowing him to step on more solidly and more securely.Guan Chen felt that he could run and jump on it, and even roll forward, which was a great experience.

Unfortunately, there are sequelae.

From frugality to extravagance is easy, from extravagance to frugality is difficult.After acting with Zhang Jingsheng, and then going back to act with Xiaoxiong, Guan Chen wondered if he would want to break up with Xiaoxiong...

Walking downstairs of the hotel and looking at the night view of the capital, Guan Chen remembered the purpose of entering Beijing, quickly put aside all kinds of thoughts, and happily stopped a taxi, aiming at the ancient city wall park, planning to eat before the flight in the early morning. While shopping for special snacks.

Before getting into the car, Xie Jinzhu called.

"The audition is over?" Xie Jinzhu asked.

"Just finished trying." Guan Chen replied.

"how do you feel?"

"good."

"What do you mean by ok?" Xie Jinzhu felt that Guan Chen's answer was like an unconfident answer from a student who failed the exam.

"Zhang Jingsheng is quite powerful." Guan Chen said.Although he had been in contact with Zhang Jingsheng just now, Guan Chen didn't feel that he could compete with the best actor.When he acted, he used the feeling of his previous life, and Zhang Jingsheng, an actor in the district, really brought Guan Chen a sense of oppression that was difficult to deal with the old police.It is very powerful.

"What's so powerful, don't look down on him because he's a singer when he debuted... Wait, did you play with him?"

"He finally ran up to ask everyone to eat, and then the director pulled him over to play against me."

Xie Jinzhu was a little nervous and asked, "You didn't do anything wrong, right? Did you forget your words or something?"

"No. On the contrary, he changed his words on the spot, which was a bit sudden." Guan Chen remembered that Zhang Jingsheng temporarily said a line that was not in the script at that time, and he said that long line without hesitation. of."

I am still a little envious, and I don't know when I can change the words so casually that the screenwriter dare not say a word.

Xie Jinzhu smiled gratified, "That's good, the odds are better."

Guan Chen didn't think otherwise: "It's hard to say." He recalled the director's appreciative look when he left, and the confused look when he looked at the producer, and said, "The director should be interested in me, but he It’s hard to say if the producer next to him is still an executive producer. Before the audition started, I heard that Wu Ze’s role seemed to have been pre-determined.”

"Tell me about it from the beginning." On the phone, Xie Jinzhu's voice became serious.

Guan Chen talked to Xie Jinzhu one by one.When he walked into the toilet to change his clothes, he heard an agent surnamed Liu calling, saying that the role of Wu Ze had been pre-determined.Then when the audition started, he found that the actors waiting in the hallway started talking about it one after another.

Xie Jinzhu breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Don't believe the news you hear in the toilet in the future - that kind of place is not a good place to talk about things at all."

"So the default decision is fake?" Guan Chen was stunned for a moment, then remembered what he had seen and heard in the corridor, "No wonder..."

After the rumors about the unofficial appointment spread, Guan Chen gave up the audition halfway after seeing that someone knew about it, and some simply changed roles to try.There are still some actors who are still waiting, but their mentality may be out of balance. Over-acting or under-acting during the audition is not conducive to [accurate performance].Very few actors are emotionally overwhelmed, and may even question the crew in person, irritating the producers and directors...

"It's a very low-level trick, and no one has used it for hundreds of years. The recruits are all impetuous young actors." Xie Jinzhu said.

Guan Chen remembered that he went in and said [I don't know who you have already made an appointment with, but those have nothing to do with me...], but looking at the results, he shouldn't be considered a recruit, right.

"The director appreciates you, but the producer ignores you. It's probably a white face and a red face. They want to suppress your price. Don't worry too much. I'll let Huang Jin explore the bottom." Xie Jinzhu is very experienced. The appearance, comforting Guan Chen.

Guan Chen stopped a taxi and got in.

"What if the rumor happened to be true?"

"What do you mean?"

"What if someone really decided on the role of Wu Ze?"

On the other end of the phone, Xie Jinzhu thought about it seriously and said, "In our industry, it's not unacceptable to rely on relationships to get through the back door, but a fake audition was held in a fake way, wasting hundreds of people's time and energy. Picking the person who is the default... this is not authentic and will be hated by people."

……

in the hotel.

After Guan Chen left, the cast and crew ended their audition work today and happily went downstairs for dinner.

The audition is exhausting, but there are occasionally bright actors, so it's not a waste of a day to get nothing.

Especially Guan Chen, who appeared at the end, felt like he had won the first prize.Although he speaks a little crazy, his performance is really good. When he played with Zhang Jingsheng, he was not depressed at all.

Zhang Jingsheng was talking and laughing with everyone at the front.It was mainly because he was rubbing his arms while saying vigorously that what everyone saw just now, especially the last action scene, was actually arranged by him and Guan Chen in advance.Then the others laughed.

Zhang Jingsheng had no pretense of being a superstar at all. He found the staff member who laughed the loudest, rushed over and wrapped his arms around the man's neck, saying that he wanted to show him his true level.

Everyone laughed more cheerfully.

Only Director Chen and the producer, who were at the back of the crowd, did not look good.

"When you first looked for me, you didn't tell me that Tang would always use her." Director Chen's tone was as disgusting as eating flies.

"He is quite suitable for the role of Wu Ze."

"I don't remember his performance during the audition. Can he be better than Guan Chen?"

"...Each has its own advantages." The producer straightened his hair with a calm expression on his face.

Director Chen smiled, feeling extremely absurd.

"Guan Chen's character is well created, and he has skills. Wu Zekuang basically has the side, but he still lacks the other side, the side of restraint." The producer said: "You heard it too, let him speak for ten seconds. A knowledge point, he said something. He was a very good student who was admitted to Yunman University, but he was a literature department, very emotional, and did not have the rational feeling of a high-IQ criminal who is good at calculating. President Tang came in. The one from him, I've seen him, and he's made several literary films, and his temperament is very restrained."

Director Chen just kept shaking his head, "Then let Guan Chen come back and try again? Let's see if he can play Wu Ze in the daytime?"

The producer glanced at it and said, "Director Chen, you are also considerate and considerate of me. Everyone is here to see Zhang Jingsheng, and it doesn't matter who will play Wu Ze. The only difference is that Guan Chen is chosen, which may not be possible. How much will the box office increase, but Tang can always let us arrange a few more films."

Director Chen was silent.
