1990: Starting from Baojia Street

Chapter 86 Why is she here? (Third update, additional updates due to rewards)

The first actor who came to audition was a 24-year-old girl. Under Lin Juan's guidance, she filled in her personal information. As for the number plate, since she was the only one, she naturally didn't need to get it.

"You wait here."

Lin Juan walked into the room with the girl's information and handed it to Zhou Yan. Zhou Yan looked at it briefly, then nodded and said, "Ask her to come in."

The girl's name is Zhang Ni. She is 24 years old. After graduating from Yanjing Dance Academy the year before last, she went to the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe.

Because she studied dancing, Zhang Ni has a good figure, but her appearance is very ordinary, the kind that is difficult to remember after just one glance.

Actors are most afraid of public appearances. Even if they are not good-looking, it is best to have characteristics that are memorable.

So as soon as he saw Zhang Ni, Zhou Yan knew that there was no chance of her.

If there were a lot of people, Zhou Yan would definitely not spend too much time on her, but since she was the opener in today's audition, Zhou Yan found a script for her to try.

Unfortunately, she has no talent for acting either.

After the audition was over, Zhou Yan said with a smile, "Thank you very much. If you pass, we will notify you of the contact address you left within three days."

The girl probably knew that she had no acting talent, so she acted very calmly. Then she asked Zhou Yan, "If you don't recruit me as an actor, will there be a shortage of people behind the scenes?"

Zhou Yan and Zhao Fei looked at each other, good guys, this girl is looking for a job. Isn't the job in the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe good?
"Sorry, we have no shortage of people behind the scenes for now." Zhou Yan shook his head.

"Oh." The girl was a little disappointed, then turned and left.

After Zhang Ni left, Zhou Yan saw that everyone seemed to be emotionally affected, so he smiled and said, "This can be considered a good start, right away..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard Lin Juan say again, "There are people here again... Two people are here now."

In fact, more than two.

Many people came here at random times, and in a few minutes just before nine o'clock, seven or eight people came in a row.

Gradually, the audition venue became lively, and Zhou Yan and the other interviewers also cheered up and prepared to welcome the actors who were about to come in.

Among the people who followed, there were all kinds of people.

There are students who are still studying in schools, most of which are in art colleges, mostly acting majors. There are also literary and artistic cadres who have been working in art troupes for many years, and there are also ordinary people who have no performance experience.

Zhou Yan and the others even met an acquaintance, a girl who had previously played the role of a maid in "Raise the Red Lantern" and was still studying in school.

She also didn't expect to meet acquaintances in this crew, and chatted with Zhou Yan and the others for a long time.

Many people have had acting experience, but most of them played supporting roles, and some played leading roles, but the play itself was not very famous.

There were more people, and Zhou Yan's speed became faster. Some people seemed to have no feeling at first glance, and let the other party read a few lines and then sent them away. Those who felt good would just give them an extra minute or two.

There are many roles required for the movie, so he looks at them comprehensively. Even if he uses some temporarily, he keeps them in mind in case they are used later.

After watching more than 20 times, Lin Juan ran to Zhou Yan, leaned over and said in his ear, "There is a man wearing sunglasses outside."

Zhou Yan looked outside the door and saw no one wearing sunglasses.

"It's blocked so you can't see it," Lin Juan said.

"Male or female?" Zhou Yan asked.

"She's a woman. You can't see her whole face, but she looks pretty."

Zhou Yan nodded, "Wait until she fills in her personal information and bring it to me alone."

After a few minutes, Lin Juan sent an information sheet to Zhou Yan alone.

Seeing "Xu Qing" written in the name column on the table, Zhou Yan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

He didn't expect that today's audition would actually attract her.

But why is she wearing sunglasses?
Although Xu Qing has already appeared in Chen Kaige's "Walking and Singing", hasn't the movie not been released yet?Even if it is released, with the popularity of this movie, there is no need to worry about being recognized by passers-by.

As for the other dramas she has acted in, they all happened when she was a child, and no one can recognize them.

Are you worried about being recognized by acquaintances?She should have many acquaintances at Yanjing Studio.

In fact, Zhou Yan met Xu Qing once before at Yanjing Studio. It was at the editing building, more than ten meters away, and they had a quick glance. It was not considered a formal meeting.

Speaking of the movie "Walking and Singing", Zhou Yan felt quite resentful because he really liked the original novel of this movie, "Life is Like a Piano String" by Shi Tiesheng.

But after watching "Walking and Singing", Zhou Yan felt dizzy and didn't know what Chen Kaige wanted to express in the movie.

In fact, if Xu Qing is interested in "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly", she does not need to attend the audition. She can recommend herself through Yanjing Film Studio.

And the strange thing is that the performance experience column on her information form is blank, and she didn't fill in anything. "Should we let her jump in line?" Lin Juan asked softly.

"No, just follow the order." Zhou Yan shook his head. Since Xu Qing wasn't looking for a relationship, he didn't need to treat her specially.

Hearing Zhou Yan say no, Lin Juan smiled and said, "Okay."

After more than half an hour, it was finally Xu Qing's turn.

When she came in, Xu Qing had already taken off her sunglasses. Before Zhou Yan could ask, she began to introduce herself, "Hello, I am Xu Qing, grade 88 of the Performance Department of Yanjing Film Academy. I am 22 years old."

Xu Qing, who is in her early 20s, has a round face with some baby fat, which is completely different from her later style. Her voice is thinner, her tone is softer, and she has two pear dimples on her face when she smiles, giving people a It feels very silly.

Her appearance is not very attractive to Zhou Yan, but I have to admit that she is indeed quite good-looking, mainly because of her two pear dimples, which are very distinctive and easy to remember.

Looking at Zhao Fei's reaction next to her, she knew she was very good-looking. When Xu Qing came in just now, Zhao Fei's eyes suddenly lit up.

Zhou Yan smiled and said, "I am Zhou Yan, the director of this movie."

"Hello, Director Zhou." Xu Qing greeted politely.

"I see that the performance experience column on your information form is blank, but as far as I know, you have participated in Director Chen's "Walking and Singing". Why didn't you fill it in?"

Xu Qing was not surprised at all that Zhou Yan knew about her. After all, they were at Yanjing Film Studio. Isn't it normal for Zhou Yan to know Chen Kaige?

Xu Qing replied with a smile, "Because the movie has not been released yet, and I think that the past experience has passed, and I am ready to face new challenges anytime and anywhere."

Zhou Yan nodded, Xu Qing's answer was very official.

After that, Zhou Yan didn't get close to Xu Qingtao and just asked her to start acting in front of the script.

In order to save time, the first one is still auditioning, and the following ones have already received the audition script. This saves the time of reading the script and preparing, which greatly improves efficiency.

The script Xu Qing got was a scene about listening to music with the young male protagonist. Since no one was acting opposite her, she had to perform in front of Zhou Yan and the others.

After Zhou Yan finished speaking, Xu Qing entered the mood very quickly. After all, she was an acting major and had already had experience in acting in movies. She was naturally much better than those who were not professional.

However, Zhou Yan always felt that Xu Qing wanted to take advantage of her dimples too much, and often smiled too wide, as if to make her dimples more conspicuous.

She did indeed do it. Most of Zhou Yan's attention was on her dimples, but this diluted the performance of her eyes.Knowing how to take advantage is a good thing, but not knowing how to do so can be counterproductive.

After Xu Qing's audition was over, Zhou Yan said with a smile, "Your performance is very good. If you pass, we will notify you of the contact address you left."

Perhaps because what Zhou Yan said was too official, Xu Qing defended herself, "Director, I can actually play the piano."

Zhou Yan nodded and drew on the paper, "There is no piano here now, but we have recorded your performance. If there are any results later, we will notify you."

Hearing what Zhou Yan said, Xu Qing didn't say anything else, she just bent over and said, "Goodbye, director."

"See you."

After Xu Qing left, Zhao Fei came over and said, "I think this Xu Qing is pretty good. She must have stood out so far this morning. And she's quite polite, isn't she?"

Zhou Yan nodded slightly. Zhao Fei was right. So far this morning, Xu Qing was indeed the most outstanding, so he did not pass Xu Qing directly, but wrote a candidate on the list.

If you really can't find the right one later, Xu Qing can also be an option.

"Next one." Zhou Yan rubbed his eyes, auditioning actors was also a tiring job.

In the next half hour, Zhou Yan saw several good candidates for supporting roles, but he never saw a suitable candidate for the role of "heroine".

His vision for the heroine was that she must be good-looking, and she must be in her early twenties, but she must also exude a bit of maturity and free and easy charm. The young male protagonist is attracted by this temperament in her.

Although Xu Qing is 22 years old, she still feels like a teenage girl.

After the audition for Actor No. 66, Zhou Yan did a set of eye exercises for himself. He felt that he might not be able to find anyone better than Xu Qing today.

At this moment, Lin Juan stood at the door and shouted, "Is Yu Feihong there on No. 67?"

Hearing Lin Juan's shout, Zhou Yan stopped moving, Yu Feihong?

He took the information form No. 67 at hand and looked at it. In the name column, there were three words "Yu Feihong".

Look at the basic information below, female, 20 years old, grade 89 of Yanjing Film Academy...

Before Zhou Yan finished reading, a tall girl with beautiful appearance walked in. It was Yu Feihong.

Yu Feihong is one year younger than Xu Qing, but compared to Xu Qing, Yu Feihong's facial lines are more obvious, so she looks more mature than Xu Qing.

Seeing Yu Feihong in front of him, Zhou Yan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Yu Feihong's temperament was very consistent with the heroine he imagined.
