China Entertainment: Indulge in Vanity Fair

Chapter 144

It's a pity that the current directors don't go to the campus to find out, and they leave such outstanding talents there, and what are the people they praise.

If you want acting skills or no acting skills, you need to have an average appearance, and if you want to get ahead, you have to pay money...

There are too many unspoken rules, no wonder newcomers can't get ahead.

"Director He, stop, red light."

He Fang has been thinking about the pros and cons of adopting a newcomer, and whether the newcomer can support the performance, and almost ran a red light. If Hu Kai hadn't called to stop, he would have driven past.

"Cough, that one didn't sleep well last night, let Xiao Chen come and drive later, I'll go to the back row for a while." He Fang concealed his embarrassment.

The people in the car were all confused, He Fang was the one who rushed to drive when he was going out, and now he said he didn't sleep well... Why did he rush to drive when he didn't sleep well?
At 08:30 in the morning, a group of people came to the Film Academy. Everyone knows the process. They have already been here once yesterday, and the students of the Central Academy of Drama also spread the news of He Fang's audition process yesterday.

Even the four selected people have now become big news in Chinese opera. It is a big deal to be selected for He Fang's new blockbuster.

So when He Fang came to the Film Academy today, the Film Academy exploded.

Many boys from the film school were excited. This is probably the most complete female classmate from the acting school that some boys have seen in the four years of the film school. They came so neatly.

Both the undergraduate class and the vocational class came, and the male students complained there, why only actresses were auditioned?Actors don't need to stand out?

"Director He, welcome." Dean Chen of the School of Performing Arts was very enthusiastic about He Fang.

Thinking about it, how many years have there been no directors going to the film academy for auditions, they can't help being excited, what is the purpose of their teaching?I just want to watch the students become famous from their hands and show their teaching achievements.

"Dean Chen, hello, I'm sorry to trouble you."

"No trouble, no trouble, let's go, this side is ready."

What He Fang went to was the performance classroom, which was requested by He Fang. He didn't want to go to the small theater, where he couldn't see the actors' performances clearly while sitting in the audience.

It's better to be in the classroom, get closer to the actors, and see them more clearly.

"Come on, let's start, the process is the same." He Fang sat down and began to greet Hu Kai to start.

"Alright, the first Long Yu, please come in."

Hey, good guy, it's really high, it looks like at least 175, but the information only says 172, is it definitely a lie?

But this looks really good, a typical kind of beauty from the Northeast.

"Hello director, hello teachers, I'm Long Yu."

"Well, hello, I believe you have also heard how to choose, come, pick a script, and then go to familiarize yourself with it, and the show will start in 5 minutes."

He Fang said lightly.

"Okay, Director."

After struggling for a while, Long Yu chose a script, and then went to the next door.

"Next, Jing Tian."

"..." He Fang was stunned for a moment, he almost forgot that Yingtian was in level 07, this happened to be her senior year.

No, didn't you hear that she would be given money for any role she wanted?Why are you so obedient to audition?With her expressionless face, has she tried it?

"Hi director, hello teachers, I'm Jing Tian."

"Okay, choose a script and perform it in 5 minutes." He Fang carefully looked at Yingtian carefully.

This physical condition is top-notch, if she is not afraid of suffering and is willing to accept training...

Bah, what are you thinking, people don't need to endure hardships to play the heroine.

"Next, Kan Qingzi..."

Yo, I've heard of this.

After a while, He Fang heard several names that were somewhat impressive in another time and space, such as Zheng Shuang, Chong Danni...

In another time and space, the 07, 08, 09, and 10 levels of Chinese opera are not so famous, but the feeling of Nortel is more, why is that?

In another time and space, directors prefer to use actors from Nortel?
After another day of preliminary audition, He Fang finally chose three actors, Danni Chong, Qingzi Kan and Zhilin Pan. These three girls have good looks and good acting skills.

Especially this Pan Zhilin, Nortel's school beauty, is not inferior to Jing Tian's level, with a sweet appearance and a good figure, tsk, this is another generation of goddess level in Hong Kong in the 80s.

Of course, He Fang also knew about Pan Zhilin in another time and space, because she had a very famous joke on the Internet, which was a scene where she starred in a drama "Arrow on the String".

She is so beautiful in reality. It can be said that she has her own characteristics with Yan Ran in Chinese opera. If Yan Ran is a red rose with thorns, then Pan Zhilin is a sweet and beautiful white rose.

Both have their own characteristics, and they are both top-notch beauties.

Unexpectedly, I don't know if it's not an audition. The audition is full of potential beauties who are comparable to the four beauties in the heyday of Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Forget about Jing Tian, ​​she is also a top-notch beauty.

He Fang was thinking, just these three women, in the 80s in Hong Kong, they would definitely be comparable to the four beauties.

If you add another Liu Yifei, the new four beauties.

"Director He, is it really the three of them?" Hu Kai asked in a low voice.

"Just the three of them." He Fang nodded.

"I think Jing Tian's is also good, why didn't Director He choose?" Hu Kai asked.

"Hey, the appearance is good, but the acting skills are a bit lacklustre. You can think about it next time you need a vase."

He Fang just said something casually, but he forgot that this was at the film school, and there was a teacher listening beside him.

"What about Zheng Shuang? After all, she still has some fans." A teacher next to her asked.

"Well, she is also very good, but her temperament is not what I want. If I choose another role, I might choose her." It will hurt people for a long time.

If he made a serious mistake, his career might be cut off. This is no joke.

But he just forgot to say what Jing Tian said, what he said just now was out of line.

Alas, He Fang hasn't gotten used to being a celebrity yet, he always speaks rigorously and baldly.

"Okay, that's it for today. Thank you for your support and cooperation. I'm too busy, so I won't treat you to dinner. I'll thank you all when the movie is successful next time."

He Fang said that he was about to leave.

"Okay, then Director He go slowly, I wish you a successful movie."

……

I didn't expect, I didn't expect that I would find two high-quality treasures and a few good pieces of jade.

If he went to schools such as Military Art, Shangxi, Zhongchuan, Beiwu and other schools to audition, wouldn't he be able to dig out more treasures?
With so many treasures, why can't there be newcomers in the circle?Film resources have always been controlled by Sidan Shuangbing, and TV resources have been controlled by 85 Flowers. In the next ten years, no newcomers will emerge, and those who emerge will not be top-notch.

He Fang returned to the villa with these thoughts in mind. The time for the re-examination was on the 20th, which was the next day, because He Fang had no time to waste on this actor selection.

The Oscar Awards will be held on the 27th, and "Scorching Sun" will be launched on March 3th.

That is to say, before he went to the Oscars, he had to confirm the scene of "Scorching Sun", so that he could start shooting directly when he returned from the United States.

When he goes to the United States, he still needs to confirm the cast of "The Purge of Human Beings". Although he has already told Zhang Qian and Du Chunsheng to do it, he still has to talk face to face before making a final decision, right?

So after attending the Oscars, he will stay in the United States for a few days to make simple preparations for the "Human Purge Project".

It is said that this person needs more famous and capable people to help you, and it is better to say that the seven audition actresses selected by He Fang this time, their names have been spread all over the entertainment media in the evening.

"Four from Chinese opera, three from Nortel, who will be the heroine of He Fang's new movie?"Wait and see"

"He Fanghai chooses the No. [-] girl, the first Fang girl is officially opened"

"Who are they and why were they chosen?" "

"The school belle of Chinese opera and the school belle of Nortel were acquired overnight by He Fang alone"

"A closer look at the beauty of the seven 'quasi-party girls' stunning beauties"

……

Just as everyone was discussing Miss Fang's issue, and He Fang was thinking about other things, He Fang's phone rang, and He Fang saw an unfamiliar number in the capital.

"Hi, hello." He Fang answered the phone.

"Hello, is this Director He?" There was a man's voice with a deep voice on the phone.

"I am, who are you?" He Fang asked.

"Oh, that's right. I'm from Starlight Film and Television Company. My surname is Lu."

When He Fang heard it, the name of this company was very familiar. Where did he hear it? Not in this time and space, but in another time and space.

"Oh, Mr. Lu, what's the matter?"

"Oh, Director He, that's how it is. I heard that you are looking for an actor for a new film. We have an actor in our company who should be quite suitable, and he can bring money to join the team..."

Oops, He Fang remembered, which company is this.

Isn't it the Yingtian company, which specializes in promoting Jingtian.

"Ah, I know who it is, Jing Tian, ​​right?" He Fang said it before the other party finished speaking.

"Ah, Director He found out so soon."

"The circle is not big, what is not clear? Jing Tian's image is really good, the background of a big star. It's a pity that her acting skills still need to be practiced, and she can cooperate with her when she has the opportunity." He Fang tactfully Refused.

The other end of the phone was silent for a while, and then said: "Director He, we can contribute, how much do you want?"

"Pfft," He Fang smiled, "Mr. Lu, it's really not about money. I'm not short of money. Of course, if Jing Tian really wants to be a good actress, ask her if she dares to endure hardship. If she dares, let her do it." Find a good acting teacher to practice the basic skills for a year and practice the acting well, then next time we have a new play we can cooperate."

He Fang didn't block the road, and revealed his plan.

"..." He Fang heard the silence on the other side of the phone, so He Fang took the opportunity to continue.

"I also auditioned Jing Tian today. Her qualifications can be said to be very good. However, she can't act at all. Her performance is too small. Maybe it's because you didn't let her get in touch with the lives of ordinary people. She didn't There are fireworks in the world. You have to make her more down-to-earth, without the spirit of life, without the emotions of ordinary people, coupled with the lack of basic acting skills, she is bound to have a difficult road to become an excellent actor."

"Although you may be very rich, you will let her act in many movies and TV shows, but that is just a vase. Believe me, this is the best advice I give Jing Tian. Of course, you don't have to listen, when I am fart."

At this moment, Jing Tian's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Thank you Director He for your suggestion. I will finish it earnestly, but you have to remember, you said it for a year, then I will ask you for a heroine after a year."

"..." He Fang didn't expect that he would be defeated by someone else instead.

"Okay, but the prerequisite is that your acting skills must reach a certain level." He Fang had no choice but to go forward.

"What is the certain level? If I improve, what if you still say that I can't reach the level?" I didn't expect Jing Tian to speak quite cleverly.

"Zhou Xun knows, right? Practice according to her acting skills. You don't need to practice 100% of her level. I will recognize 50.00% of it." He Fang said.

"Okay, I see, Director He, you have to remember your words."

As she said that, she hung up the phone. This young lady lost her temper...

This made He Fang a bit baffling, obviously you begged me, why did I look like a villain, did you, Jing Tian, ​​still shout "Don't bully the young and poor, 30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi"?
Forget it, I don't have time to worry about Jing Tian, ​​this is a young lady.

On February 2th, a group of make-up artists came to the capital branch of Tuanhuo, and they were doing make-up for seven would-be 'party girls'.

They came at eight o'clock in the morning on seven days, and the make-up ended at 11:30 in the morning, a full three and a half hours.

According to the actual situation, this is considered fast. Just ask those actresses who shoot ancient costumes. Many of them get up at three or four in the morning to put on makeup, and at the latest they will go to make-up at five o’clock. Painting for more than four hours.

Ancient makeup is not that simple. He Fang doesn't know the specific makeup techniques, but as a director, he also understands the basic process.

I heard that it takes four to 10 minutes to an hour to apply makeup on the face. How many steps are there in applying makeup on the face?
Makeup primer, foundation, concealer, makeup setting, eyebrows, eye shadow, eyeliner, eyelashes, contouring, highlighter, blush, lip balm, lipstick... There are more than a dozen steps in the initial calculation, and each step takes 2 minutes. How long?
Is putting makeup on your face the hardest?Of course not, the most difficult thing is the hairstyle, some need hair extensions, some need to put up wigs, and some need to rest their heads...

It usually takes an hour and a half to do a haircut.

In addition to hairstyles and clothing, don't underestimate the clothing, it takes half an hour to get it done, because it involves all aspects, and ancient clothing is not easy to wear.

After all these are done, the makeup artist will have to touch up the makeup before going to the scene for ten minutes...

Anyway, if you don’t have three or four hours, don’t even think about painting ancient makeup. Some actors really fall asleep while painting.

Far away, He Fang didn't let seven actors come out at once, but came one by one.

What he wants to see most is Yan Ran. He really wants to see what kind of ancient costume this Hepburn-like face looks like, and whether it can defeat his psychological defense.

When Yan Ran appeared, sure enough...

He Fang felt that his breathing was about to speed up a bit. He had seen too many beauties at home and abroad. There were domestic top actresses like Fan Bingbing, and there were Emmas abroad. He even met Anne Heatherway.

However, no woman gave him a light and temperament that made people confused at first glance.
