tearjerker director

Chapter 43 The lines are also part of the performance
Li Tongzhou was quite depressed. In fact, when the performance was over, he himself knew that the worst was going to happen.

Because, he performed on the spot, and it was indeed not particularly good.

After Li Tongzhou went out, Li Yi and the others were also discussing Li Tongzhou's performance.

"It's still not interesting!" Li Yi shook his head and said.

"Actually, the time is so short and there is no physical performance, it's normal." Zhuo Yixiong didn't care.

This kind of audition method has really high requirements for actors.

This is just the first audition, there are many more to follow.

"Next one." Li Yi nodded, but he didn't feel disappointed, so he called for the next one.

However, for the next few people who came in, Li Yi's audition performance questions were basically the same, but the few people who auditioned were even worse than Li Tongzhou.

Finally it was Wu Ting's turn.

"Hi three teachers, my name is Wu Ting, I am an artist from Hong Kong Star, and I have acted in it before."

Wu Ting can be said to be the most famous among the many audition candidates.

At the same time, he was recommended by Hong Kong Star and Li Zhenye's old friends, so Li Yi couldn't help but pay more attention to it.

However, Wu Ting's self-introduction made Li Yi frown.

However, he didn't say much, and said directly: "Lin Zhiqiang went to work in the nursing home on the first day. As a result, he met a crazy mother who was holding a cloth bag as a child. When he learned that her name was Huang Qiuxia, he recognized this crazy mother." The woman is his mother who has been missing for eighteen years."

"You can prepare! I will match the first sentence for you."

Wu Ting already knew the general plot of "Mom Loves Me Again", so he was well prepared.

A few minutes later, Wu Ting said confidently, "It's done!"

"Then let's start!" Li Yi was quite looking forward to Wu Ting's performance.

"Her name is Huang Qiuxia!" Li Yi wrote the lyrics for Wu Ting.

Wu Ting suddenly opened his mouth slightly, and his eyes suddenly stared slightly.

Then he turned to look sideways.

The mouth trembled and slowly opened slightly, the eyes also changed, the body involuntarily leaned forward, and the footsteps moved.

It seemed that in front of him was his mother who had been missing for eighteen years.

Li Yi couldn't help being a little surprised, Wu Ting's acting was very layered.

First, when he heard Huang Qiuxia's name, he couldn't believe it, and opened his mouth slightly, conveying his current mood.

Then I saw "Crazy Mom", his mouth was wider than before, and his eyes became deeper. His eyes are indeed quite interesting.

In particular, the joy and sorrow at that moment were successfully interpreted.

And the finishing touch is that the involuntary inclination of his body and the movement of his feet give people the impression that they are spontaneous, involuntary, and subconscious movements.

When he stopped, his mouth began to close, revealing a half-smile expression.

Then, tears flowed from the corners of my eyes
The show is over.

Wu Ting was quite satisfied with his performance just now.

"Very good!" Li Yi nodded without being stingy with praise.

"Thank you, Director Li!" The corners of Wu Ting's lips curled up slightly, not without pride in his heart.

In fact, in terms of acting skills, there are many actors in Hong Kong Island who are actually quite good at acting, such as those Hong Kong Island actors who are often seen in TV dramas.

Regardless of whether Wu Ting had prepared beforehand or not, the performance he just auditioned for was indeed better than any of the previous ones.

"I have a song here. It's a ballad that the hero in the movie would use to wake up his crazy mother. I'll sing it twice. Try to memorize it, and then sing it to Huang Qiuxia." Li Yi said after thinking about it.

"Okay!" Wu Ting nodded quickly.

Li Yi started humming "Only Mother is Good in the World"!
The song is a nursery rhyme after all, and the lyrics are catchy, Wu Ting quickly nodded to show that he remembered it.

Then he began to sing.

"How many mother monkeys are there?"

While singing, tears overflowed from the corners of Wu Ting's eyes.

"A child with a mother is like a treasure."

If Wu Ting made Li Yi very satisfied with the previous performance, and even felt a little surprised, then when Wu Ting sang this song, Li Yi felt very awkward.

No one else, because Wu Ting's Mandarin is really bad.

"Okay, it's done!" Li Yi stopped Wu Ting.

Wu Ting looked at Li Yi with some puzzlement.

"That's it, thank you for your performance, we will let you know when we have a decision." Li Yi said lightly.

Although Wu Ting didn't understand why Li Yi's attitude suddenly changed after he was doing well in the front, he still nodded and turned to leave.

"Director Li, Wu Ting should be considered the best performer so far today, right? Why did you just now?" Zhuo Yixiong looked at Li Yi with some doubts and asked.

Li Zhenye also looked at Li Yi with some puzzlement.

Li Yi shook his head and said: "He is indeed the best one so far, but the singing part after that is a mess!"

"Singing? What a mess? This... isn't that exaggerated?" Zhuo Yixiong was puzzled.

"You mean his pronunciation?" Li Zhenye suddenly asked at this moment.

Li Yi nodded and said, "His Mandarin is too bad."

"This is really a problem." Zhuo Yixiong couldn't help but frowned slightly.

Don't think that language is unimportant. In fact, for many directors, most of the movies use live radio, because there is a difference between dubbing and original sound, and the difference is very big if you listen carefully.For example, when dubbing, the background music will be turned down, and when there is background music, it is usually the climax of the whole play, so the effect after processing is far inferior to the original sound.

In fact, Li Yi has never quite understood that the mainland market has been on the rise for so many years. To participate in mainland film and television works, actors from Hong Kong Island, why many actors still have no way to master their lines?In Li Yi's view, lines are an important part of performance.

"Maybe we can let him practice Mandarin well?" Li Zhenye suggested.

"Let's talk about it, let's see how others are doing."

"Next!" Li Yi didn't make a decision immediately.

Zhuo Yixiong and Li Zhenye naturally had no objection, they were more of a suggestion or something, and it was mainly Li Yi who made the decision.

In the next few, in terms of performance, Xu Zhengrong and Hu Yifei from the mainland performed pretty well. Although in terms of acting skills, the performance of both of them seems to be inferior to Wu Ting, but the difference is only a hair's breadth.

"How many more?" Li Yi rubbed his forehead and asked.

Zhuo Yixiong glanced at the file and said, "This is the last one."

"Then call in."

"Hello three teachers, I am Lin Jinrong."

In the end, Lin Jinrong is also an actor on Hong Kong Island, but he can't compare with Wu Ting.

He is an entertainer of Hong Kong Island TV, and his previous works are mainly TV series.

However, Li Yi was quite surprised by this Lin Jinrong.

Because his spoken words were correct, Li Yi felt that the other party's words were more accurate than his own.

"Are you from Hong Kong Island?" Li Yi asked curiously.

Although he didn't know why Li Yi asked this question, Lin Jinrong still nodded and said, "Yes!"

"Then your Mandarin is pretty good." Li Yi praised.

"Did you practice on purpose?" Li Yi asked again.
