Chapter 492 Film Academy Audition
"All the middle school actors who auditioned today are not good."

After a busy day, Fang Xing was very dissatisfied with the audition results.

The people invited to audition today are all relatively young actors, and the first requirement is to act as a middle school student.

The actors who come to the audition all meet the requirements of middle school students in appearance.

However, most of these actors have acted in TV series, and it can be clearly seen that they have acting experience.

Having acting experience is a good thing for the general crew, and it can save a lot of things.

It's just that the other party woke up and said, that's not necessarily a good thing.

It’s okay to have acting experience, but when acting as a middle school student, you can’t show any traces of acting.

Because Ark Culture is so famous now, after the news of the casting of the new drama was released, major film and television companies sent artists to audition, and these artists were no longer blank paper.

There are even some who have participated in many variety shows and the like, and they are not stage frightened at all when they meet and greet, but this kind of social atmosphere sometimes becomes an obstacle to performance.

"Director Fang is too demanding." The casting director was helpless.

He had already screened them once as required before sending out audition invitations, but none of them passed.

"Then what should we do? If one or two are not suitable, we can solve them, but now we can't pass any of them, then there is a problem with the direction." Zhang Yigao also expressed his helplessness.

In fact, during the audition, he felt that some actors' performances were not bad, but Fang Xing was not satisfied with them all.

Fang Xing thought about it, and said, "Let's do this, make sure to find new people to act. Talk to the major art schools and go to the school to audition."

When the casting director heard this method, he felt that the workload this time would increase dramatically.

In the general cast selection, audition invitations are sent to the actor union, and qualified actors will send their resumes, then screen according to the resumes, and finally send out audition invitations.

It's just that this method is not suitable this time, because the actors to be selected are to play middle school students, and the best way is to go to the school to find them.

Moreover, there is another advantage to looking for them in school.

The current students are students, and acting as a student can be said to be a true character, which will be much easier.

……

the second week.

The crew of Ark Culture contacted major art colleges and borrowed classrooms in the schools for auditions.

first day.

The crew first went to Donghai Film Academy.

Fang Xing has acquaintances here, so he first went to say hello to Dongying's professor Xu Zhiwen, and chatted about the new drama.

Xu Zhiwen half-jokingly said: "Is there any role I can play in the new drama?"

Fang Xing said with emotion: "I can't play it. The Gao Qiqiang you played is now deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. If it is shown in a new play, the audience will definitely say that the characters in the whole play are not enough for you alone."

"Haha, I guess you will say that. I have heard that you want to find new people this time. It is right to come to our film school. The students in our school are the best." Xu Zhiwen said to this Very confident.

"How about Professor Xu recommend some for me?" Fang Xing suggested.

"No need to recommend, I have already posted the audition time you posted to the group, and asked all the students in my class to participate in the audition, and then come back to write the audition summary and hand in homework." Xu Zhiwen heard that Fang Xing was coming to Donghai Film Academy When auditioning for a new drama actor, he directly arranged such an assignment.

"It's almost time, I should go." Fang Xing checked the time, and it was almost time for the audition.

"Okay, okay, let's go." Xu Zhiwen got up and saw him off.

……

Fang Xing and Xu Zhiwen walked to the teaching building where the audition was arranged.

As soon as he arrived in front of the teaching building, Fang Xing's eyes widened suddenly, because the queue had already lined up outside the teaching building.

"Will the sun be too hot?" Fang Xing was a little doubtful.

Xu Zhiwen waved his hands and said, "These children have delicate skin and tender flesh, they should be exposed to the sun more."

Some girls are fully armed, with peaked caps and masks, and are still spraying sunscreen spray vigorously.

After all, I want to enter the entertainment industry, and I have done a good job in skin care and sun protection.

"I think it's better to bring a number calling machine."

This is not the first time this has happened, so Ark Culture has long been prepared.

Fang Xing arranged for the assistant director to prepare the calling machine, and the students who got the number could go to other classrooms to rest.

It starts at nine o'clock in the morning.

The Ark Culture crew officially started auditioning.

Since these auditions are basically students, and most of them have not participated in film and television dramas, so the audition performance is uneven.

Every time a group of students came in, a group of ten people, the assistant director looked at the image and handed out a script on A4 paper, with only three or four lines of lines.

After a set of auditions, Fang Xing will keep one or two that are okay, and add another scene.

With this arrangement, basically a set of auditions can be completed in more than 20 minutes.

Two or three groups an hour.

Hundreds of students were auditioned in one morning.

If Fang Xing's role is okay, he will put a mark on his resume, and after interviewing several art schools, he will compare them and choose the best candidate.

……

in other classrooms.

The film school students who were waiting for the audition sat in groups of three or four and whispered in the classroom.

Every time a student who has finished the audition comes out, people will surround him and ask:

"How is it? How was the audition? Is the director fierce? Did you see Fang Xing?"

"The director is not fierce, but I feel like I'm out of action."

"How do you say it? Did the director say on the spot that it failed?"

"That's not true. It's just that after a group of people audition, one or two will be left for the second round. Those who are not left to add roles should be out of action."

"Is it so strict?" Some students felt a lot of pressure.

"If Fang Xing comes to the audition in person, it must be strict. Last time, when "Hurricane" was looking for actors, our professor auditioned in the classroom, and we were all present."

"That's right, Fang Xing is notoriously strict in auditioning actors."

Xu Zhiwen walked into the classroom, heard some students talking, then raised his hand and said: "Students, don't be nervous, today's audition is an experience.

"The first point is that auditions should not be afraid of failure.

"I used to interview more than 200 crews a year, and none of the crews hired me. If failing an audition is equivalent to a real failure, then I can fail more than 200 times a year.

"Second point, Director Fang Xing is a good director, he is indeed very strict, but as long as you get his approval and join the crew, I guarantee you can learn a lot.

"So, come on, students, don't miss this opportunity."

The students present answered loudly: "Got it, Professor Xu!"

Among the many voices yelling at the professor, there were one or two deliberately making a joke: "Understood, Brother Qiang!"

Xu Zhiwen added: "Also, let me tell you a secret news, the heroine of Fang Xing's new drama is... Song Li. Therefore, this drama is likely to hit awards. This is a good opportunity, Qian Don't miss it."

Earlier, while chatting, Fang Xing and Xu Zhiwen talked about Song Li playing the heroine.

Although the crew has not made an official announcement, there is no need to hide this matter.

Besides, for a TV series like this that is very popular before the filming starts, various rumors will spread when the casting is being cast.

Which star will play the male lead.

Which Xiaohua wants to play the heroine.

Similar gossip news will be circulated during the preparation stage.

Some are scribbled by self-media to earn traffic, and some are fake news by small stars to gain popularity.

……

The students present were even more excited when they heard that Song Li was going to play the heroine.

"Is Song Li really sure that she wants to play the heroine? But Song Li has only made a drama in two or three years. The last drama was only broadcast last year, so she will take on a new drama so soon?"

"Didn't it mean that Song Li is making dramas for awards now? Does this drama have the potential to win awards?"

"It's not surprising. "Hurricane" has just won three Flying Eagle Awards. Fang Xing is basically the newest director with the greatest potential among the three directors. Moreover, he directed and acted himself, which is a bit scary."

"Let me play a role in this show. It's okay to have no lines."

For these students, as long as they can participate in the role, even if it is a role without lines, then they can write the name of the play in their resumes.

If this drama wins an award, then this resume will have a high gold content.

……

After a two-hour break at noon, the audition continued in the afternoon.

Auditions until six in the afternoon.

More than 200 students were interviewed.

Among them, there are indeed some potential ones, and Fang Xing marked them all on their resumes.

However, this type of audition is like an audition, and you need to go back and compare before making a decision.

At [-]:[-], the last group of students finished auditioning.

The crew began to pack their things and prepare to go back.

Many students were waiting outside the door. When they saw Fang wake up, they gathered around and greeted excitedly: "Director Fang, Director Fang, I am your fan, and I am also a fan of your music."

Fang Xing chatted with these students while walking: "Thank you for your support."

"Director Fang, I heard that Song Li is going to play the female lead in this new drama, is it true?" the student asked excitedly.

"This matter hasn't been officially announced yet, so don't spread it to the outside world." Fang Xing didn't have strict requirements not to spread it to the outside world, but just said so casually.

Song Li's film contract has been signed, and Lijing Culture has invested 3000 million yuan as the co-producer of this new drama.

However, there are clauses in the contract that clearly stipulate that Lijing Culture will not intervene in the filming.

When he was about to reach the door of the teaching building.

A female student ran into the teaching building in a hurry and asked, "Where is the audition? Where is the audition?"

She yelled twice, and when she saw Fang Xing appearing in front of her, she froze for half a second, then immediately came to her senses, ran up two steps and asked, "Fang Xing, can I audition? Am I late?"

In the film academy, most students call Fang Xing "Fang Dao", and few of them call him by his name directly.

Fang Xing looked at the female student, seeing her sweating profusely, his eyes lit up.

Her appearance is somewhat similar to that of Wen Dongen in middle school.

Between the eyebrows, she still looks a little like Song Li.

Fang Xing took a few glances and asked, "Which major are you in? How old are you?"

The female student hurriedly explained: "I'm from the Normal University next door, and I'm just a freshman."

The freshman has not been away from high school for too long, and his temperament is indeed very similar to that of a high school student.

Fang Xing casually took out an A4 script from his bag, handed it over and said, "Try it."

The female student widened her eyes and showed a surprised expression: "Is it here?"

She looked around at the students, feeling very restrained.

This is the gate of the teaching building, and there are many students watching. She feels that there are too many people looking at her, and she is very uncomfortable.

Seeing her expression, Fang Xing thought that she was a student at the Normal University next door, so she probably had never studied acting, and it was normal to be restrained.

"If you get into the crew, there will only be more crew members than there are people here.

"Today's audition is over. If you still want to try it, you can try it here. If you don't want to try it, forget it."

The female student ran over in a hurry, sweating profusely, and still wanted to try it. She took the A4 paper and looked at it for a while, then stuttered and read the lines on it:

"Your dream is written on your personal homepage, and you want to be a 'good wife and mother'. Are you serious?"

I stumbled on this line.

Fang Xing frowned and corrected: "You are trying to understand the script. What you are facing now is the person who bullies you. This cruel bully burns you all over your body, but your dream is to be a 'good wife and mother' , this sense of dramatic contrast should be reflected, let’s do it again.”

"Okay okay."

The female student quickly put on a surprised expression, and read the lines again: "Your ideal is written on your personal homepage, and you want to be a 'good wife and mother'. Are you serious?"

After reading this paragraph, he paused for a while.

She skipped the lines of other characters and continued: "From today onwards, my dream is you, we must meet again."

After this line was over, the script said that Wen Dongen showed a hearty grin on his face.

This smile represented a change in the mentality of this weak person, and it was from this moment that she decided to play the role of revenge.

This is also the starting point of the heroine's blackening. From this moment on, everything she does in the future is for revenge.

After the female student read the lines, she saw the "joyful grin" written in the script.

She raised her head, and the corners of her mouth twitched twice, trying to show the kind of smile written in the script.

It's just that she hasn't studied acting, so she acts unnaturally.

If you talk about this interview alone, you will actually fail.

It can be seen that she has almost no acting experience.

However, Fang Xing just told her about the play, the second time he recited the lines as well, but it was different from the first time.

It looks like it has potential.

Fang Xing thought for a while and said, "Give me your contact information. Just write it on this script."

The female student widened her eyes and asked in surprise, "Did I pass the audition?"

The student next to her showed a speechless expression, feeling that she was thinking too much.

Fang Xing smiled and explained: "The audition results are not coming out so soon, you should leave a way first, if there is a need, someone will contact you."

"Okay, okay." The female student was not discouraged, she took out a pen from her schoolbag, and wrote down her name and contact information on the A4 paper.

Fang Xing took the A4 paper and glanced at it. The female student's name was "An Xiaoran".

Putting away the A4 paper, Fang Xing and the crew left Donghai Film Academy, preparing to go to another art academy for the second audition the next day.

As for An Xiaoran from the normal university, her performance in the audition could not be said to be poor acting skills, it could only be said that she had no acting skills at all.

After all, he is not from a major, which is normal.

The reason why Fang Xing left her contact information was because she felt that her image really met the requirements.

Today is just the first audition, and who will be selected into the group in the end will only be decided after all the auditions are over.
