Chapter 428 King Jing auditioned, the performance exceeded expectations

In the audition room.

Wang Kai's manager came in with him, carrying a huge bag of drinks with his assistant: "I came in a hurry, I brought some drinks for everyone. I won't disturb the audition of the directors, please watch us Wang Kai."

After the manager finished his courtesy, he left the event room.

Fang Xing sat back in his seat, and glanced at the monitor in front of the assistant director next to him: "Are you ready?"

The audition video will be recorded. Sometimes if the actor is not finalized on the spot, I will go back and watch the audition video again for consideration.

The assistant director pressed a few times on the monitor, nodded and replied: "It's ok."

Since it is an audition video, there is no need to consider the language of the lens, and there is only one camera position, as long as the audition actors can be clearly photographed.

"Then let's start." Fang Xing looked at Wang Kai, meaning to ask if he was ready.

"Okay." Wang Kai stood up straighter and nodded in response.

"Have you read the script?" Fang Xing picked up the script and flipped through the next few pages.

"It's over." Wang Kai nodded and replied.

"Now the actor circle says that I am Yan Luo auditioning, and the requirements are ridiculously high." Fang Xing joked first.

The crew members present all held back their laughter.

In fact, the reason why Fang Xing's audition requirements are getting higher and higher is because the dramas he is filming are becoming more and more difficult.

When filming "The Beginning", the audition requirements were actually not that high.

Because "The Beginning" requires excellent acting skills, they are basically veterans of the National Theater, especially "Aunt Guo" Liu Lanying, the audition quality is already high enough, and there is no need to raise the requirements.

As for the young actors in "The Beginning", there is no requirement for acting skills, as long as they can't act well.

When it came to "Hurricane", it was no longer possible. Almost every character had to have great acting skills. Without any acting skills, it was impossible to shoot in this drama.

It was also because during the casting of "Hurricane", the audition actors who had been brushed off before and after could form a battalion, which led to Fang Xing's nickname "Audition Yan Luo" in the actor circle.

There is another reason why it is so popular.

That is, the other director of "Hurricane" is Zhou Jitao, a senior director of police and gangster dramas.

Zhou Jitao, a veteran director, thought that some actors auditioned for the role, but Fang Xing didn't pass.

After this nickname came out, it became more and more evil.

However, the four dramas produced by Ark Culture are all very popular.

As long as he can appear in the TV series of Ark Culture, it is equivalent to being popular.

Therefore, even though Fang Xing has the nickname of "Yan Luo Audition", there are still countless actors who want to audition.

"This is a joke in the circle." Wang Kai answered casually.

"Actually, I'm really not that scary."

Fang Xing smiled heartily, and continued: "We are old acquaintances, so let's try a more difficult scene.

"Just this one. After King Jing Xiao Jingyan became the crown prince, the villain Xia Jiang identified Mei Changsu in front of the emperor as Lin Shu, the major general of the rebel Red Flame Army.

"Prince Jing Xiao Jingyan found out that Mei Changsu was his best friend, and fell into a state of shock, disbelief, and recognition."

When Wang Kai heard that he was about to audition for this scene, his expression froze.

In this scene, for the character "Jing Wang Xiao Jingyan", there are not many lines, but the performance is all about the expression, which is more difficult than the many lines.

Because there are no lines, and the performance is in place, it all depends on the change of expression.

Moreover, the inner drama of "Jing Wang Xiao Jingyan" in this scene is very complicated.

First of all, "Prince Jing Xiao Jingyan" and "Lin Shu" are close friends who grew up together.

"Prince Jing Xiao Jingyan"'s biological mother "Concubine Jing" was once a medical girl in the Lin family.

The relationship between two people is like that of brothers.

however.

The Red Flame Army was falsely accused by the courtiers and massacred as a rebel army, and the entire army was wiped out in Meiling.

As the major general of the Red Flame Army, "Lin Shu" survived by luck, but he was poisoned by the fire and cold, and his face was completely changed.

For the next 12 years, "Lin Shu" plotted revenge under the name "Mei Changsu".

Because the Red Flame Army was wiped out as a rebel army back then.

This also means that "Lin Shu" is a remnant of the rebel army.

Once the emperor knew that "Mei Changsu" was the "Lin Shu" back then, then "Mei Changsu" would definitely die.

The villain "Xia Jiang" identified "Mei Changsu" as "Lin Shu".

"Prince Jing Xiao Jingyan" should have been shocked and ecstatic when he learned that his best friend was not dead, but he had to deny that "Mei Changsu" was "Lin Shu" in front of the emperor.

Several emotions are intertwined, and it is difficult to imagine how difficult it is to perform well.

Wang Kai didn't expect that it would be the most difficult scene in the whole script, and he couldn't help complaining in his heart: Sure enough, he didn't take the wrong nickname.

"Can we start?" Fang Xing said as he handed over the script in his hand.

Wang Kai waved his hand and said, "No script, I need 5 minutes."

Fang Xing nodded, then glanced at the assistant director beside him and said, "Let's make a play for him."

Several executive directors and assistant directors in the crew are a bit addicted to drama, and occasionally play a role in the crew.

Fang Xing and the assistant director stood up and walked to the middle of the venue.

after awhile.

Wang Kai raised his head and said, "It's fine."

Fang Xing looked at the assistant director and signaled him to start.

The assistant director immediately got up, holding the script in one hand, pointed at Fang Xing with the other hand, and read out the lines: "He! He is the remnant of the Red Flame Army who colluded with the eldest son of the emperor and escaped by chance. The son of the commander Lin Xie, the leader of the Red Feather Battalion, Lin Shu!"

Since the main character of this audition is Wang Kai, the monitor mainly filmed Wang Kai.

As for the assistant director reading the lines from the script, it doesn't matter how weak the lines are.

After reading this line, the expression on Wang Kai's face began to change. First, he widened his eyes and showed an expression of disbelief.

In the cognition of "Prince Jing Xiao Jingyan", his close friend "Lin Shu" had already died in Meiling.

This has also become a knot in his heart that he and the emperor will never be able to untie.

However, now that he heard that "Lin Shu" was not dead, it was "Mei Changsu" in front of him, his first reaction should indeed be surprise.

Fang Xing stood by and stared at his expression, satisfied with the first change of expression.

Followed by.

There was a hint of sudden realization on Wang Kai's face, but he quickly concealed it, and continued to stare wide-eyed, maintaining a shocked expression.

Fang Xing saw the suddenly enlightened expression on his face, and gave him a high score in his heart.

Because of this suddenly enlightened expression, it is very in place.

The complete episodes of "Langya Bang" have 54 episodes, and this scene is in episode 49, which is almost the finale.

In other words, "Mei Changsu" has assisted "Prince Jing Xiao Jingyan" all the way, from an unfavored prince to the crown prince step by step.

During this process, "Prince Jing Xiao Jingyan" once discovered that "Mei Changsu" has many similarities with "Lin Shu".

After all, the two grew up together and were as close as brothers, so it was impossible for them to feel nothing at all.

It's just that people around him helped "Mei Changsu" hide it from him, which caused him to have occasional suspicions, and eventually he would think it was a coincidence.

Now, "Mei Changsu" is the truth of "Lin Shu", which was exposed by the villain "Xia Jiang" in the palace hall.

"Prince Jing Xiao Jingyan" finally understands why "Mei Changsu" has so many shadows of "Lin Shu".

Therefore, at this moment, there should indeed be a "suddenly enlightened" expression.

However, the emperor cannot let the emperor know the truth, otherwise "Mei Changsu" will surely die.

Therefore, after "Prince Jing Xiao Jingyan" suddenly realized, he should immediately hide his true inner feelings and help "Mei Changsu" to cover up his identity.

Followed by.

It's "Mei Changsu's" turn.

Fang Xing showed a relaxed sneer, and said, "Xia Shouzun, you really can't stop talking."

Immediately afterwards, the assistant director changed positions again, began to play the role of the emperor, continued to play, stared at Wang Kai and asked tentatively, "Prince, what do you have to say about Xia Jiang's statement?"

Wang Kai looked at the assistant director, with a flash of nervousness in his eyes, and began to help cover up: "Why did you ask this question? You watched Lin Shu grow up, don't you know him?"

The assistant director took the script and continued to play the emperor's lines: "Do you know the poison of fire and cold? The burning flames, the bone-eating cold, and the unique snow scale insects in Meiling make the poisoned person look completely different. It's hard to recognize anyone."

The lines are read here.

Wang Kai once again showed a shocked and suddenly realized expression, and turned to look at Fang Xing.

He looked at Fang Xing, with the look in his eyes, he clearly believed that the person in front of him was "Lin Shu", but he continued to deny it: "Such absurd words, my father believes it, but my son does not."

After this part of the scene was over, Fang Xing gave a rare applause and praised: "Very good, this role is played by you, it's better than expected."

Wang Kai hurriedly thanked, "Thank you Director Fang."

"There's no need to be so polite, it's settled like this, let the management team discuss the contract."

As Fang Xing said, he put his arms around his shoulders, walked to the side, and continued: "After we go back, we have to read the script carefully again and try to figure out the character's psychology. We will start the film next month. You have a lot of roles, basically Follow the group all the way."

"Okay, okay." Wang Kai nodded hastily, and was also happy that the audition was so successful.

……

After the actors who received the invitation in the morning had all auditioned, it was almost 12:30.

The crew has already gone to prepare lunch.

Fang Xing looked at the assistant director and asked, "Is there any suitable resume for today?"

The assistant director handed over several resumes and said, "These are not bad."

Fang Xing took it, glanced at it casually, there were seven resumes in total, and said, "Are there any more?"

The assistant director has followed Fang Xing in three dramas, so he knows Fang Xing's habits very well.

When he screened actors' resumes, he divided them into three categories.

Hearing Fang Xing's question, he handed over another stack of resumes and said, "You can take a look at this stack, but they are all at the level of extras."

Fang Xing took it, put it together with the previous seven copies, there were about twenty or thirty copies, and said: "That's it. Call these people in, give each of them two lines, and let them try one by one. Try it. After the trial, we will have lunch and rest."

The assistant director agreed, and went out with his resume to call his name: "Whoever reads the name, come with me, and if you don't read the name, go back first. The audition in the morning is over. Wang Weixiang, Li Chunxiao, Liu Peng..."

……

Since Fang Xing had already decided on "Prince Jing" for Wang Kai to play, the company's management team was very efficient and started negotiating contracts with Wang Kai's company in the afternoon.

Huahuo Media, Wang Kai's agency, is a small company with five or six top [-] artists, and the most profitable artist is Wang Kai.

In the entertainment circle, there are many small companies like Huahuo Media.

In many of these companies, the founders have a sum of money in their hands and know a few friends in the entertainment industry, so they start their own businesses and start a company to sign trainees.

There are some [-]th-line girl groups in the circle. The captain has some money from his family, so he uses the money from his family to start a company, sign a few female artists, and form a group debut.

However, this kind of company is basically not profitable in the early stage, but it needs to continue to invest, rent venues for training, and pay wages to team members.

It’s okay if the group has a little reputation, otherwise they can only find money everywhere to support the company and the group.

Liu Shijie, artist director of Huahuo Media, used to be the executive manager of another entertainment company and worked for several years.

Later, he met a boss who had a lot of money and wanted to invest.

So Liu Shijie took the investment, registered Huahuo Media, and then relied on his contacts as a broker to start looking for new people to sign contracts in film and television bases and art schools.

He was lucky, not long after signing Wang Kai, Wang Kai passed the audition for "The Pretender" and became an instant hit.

After Huahuo Media became popular with Wang Kai, it made a good profit and developed very fast.

Moreover, after an artist becomes popular, it will be more convincing to use this artist as a signboard to sign other potential newcomers.

Not only that, after Wang Kai's popularity rises, many business resources and film and television resources will be found.

Huahuo Media can let Wang Kai tie up the company's newcomers, appear on the program, and accept business.

Since Wang Kai became popular with "The Pretender", Liu Shijie, as the person who promoted him, has also gained a lot of contacts in the entertainment circle.

……

Ark Culture's management team personally went to Huahuo Media to talk about Wang Kai's film appointment.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Fang Xing had just returned to the company after auditioning for the actors invited today.

Just in time, Liu Yonghe, director of the management team, came back to report on his work: "President Fang, let's go to Huahuo Media to discuss Wang Kai's film contract in the afternoon, and we talked about many details.

"The attitude of the artist director of the other party is also acceptable, but in the end they did not sign the contract, and the artist director of the other party said that the schedule needs to be discussed in a meeting.

"Although the attitude of the other party is okay, according to my experience, if a small company like Huahuo Media wants to delay the contract, there is a high probability that they don't want to sign, and there should be other options."

Fang Xing knows the working ability of the manager of his management team. Since he said that Huahuo Media is delaying the contract, there must be something wrong.

"Do you know what it is?" Fang Xing continued to ask.

Liu Yonghe nodded and replied, ""Furong" is also talking about Wang Kai, and it is said that the salary is very high. Liu Shijie, the director of Huahuo Media, I have dealt with before. This person is not small, and he likes to make money."

Fang Xing thought about it, and said, "You are in charge of this matter. I am very satisfied with Wang Kai's audition. You can do it yourself. If you really can't talk about it, I will report it later."

"Okay, I understand." Liu Yonghe agreed, and immediately turned to work overtime.

Talking about actors and film appointments, of course, the boss doesn't need to do it himself, otherwise, what would the people below do?
