China Entertainment Times 1999

Chapter 13 Bole and Maxima
When I opened my eyes again, it was already noon the next day.

Lin Xuan got up and scratched his swollen head, then got up to wash up and prepare to go out for something to eat.

Last night in the learning space, the system teacher started with the life and experiences of male pets, analyzed several famous male pets in ancient history, and classified different male pets into categories.

Zhang Changzong, played by Lin Xuan, is a delicate and handsome character in the script.

How to play this kind of role, the system teacher taught a little trick.

First find a female character of the same type, imitate her words and deeds, and finally differentiate in details.

After all, male favorites are men, and they can learn from female characters, but they cannot blindly copy them, otherwise the performance will not feel like male favorites, but more like eunuchs.

Lin Xuan filled his stomach outside, found a park with the script in hand, and began to carefully figure out the role, and did not return to the basement until evening.

There are not many courses for male favorites, only sixteen hours. Lin Xuan spent two days to complete them, and then rehearsed over and over again in the basement.

If Wang Baoqiang didn't come to the show one day, Lin Xuan would ask him to act for him to see how the performance turned out.

After waiting like this for three days, Lin Xuan finally received the notice conveyed by Liu Yang, and the director asked him to audition tomorrow.

After Lin Xuan got the news, he went to the barber shop to clean himself up and bought a new set of clothes with a lot of money.

When I arrived at the crew lounge of Beijing Film Studio early the next morning, there were already three or four actors waiting.

These people were all here for the audition. When they saw new people coming in, they all looked sideways.

Lin Xuan found an empty seat and sat down, and began to look at today's competitors.

The role of Zhang Changzong requires a handsome guy, and those who are qualified to come here to audition are good-looking.

Even so, Lin Xuan can still say arrogantly: I am not targeting anyone, I am saying that everyone here is rubbish.

After several people looked at each other warily and curiously for a while, an older man took the initiative and said:

"Everyone is here for the audition. Don't make the atmosphere so tense. Let's introduce ourselves. My name is Gao Dongping. I was born in 67 and graduated from the 85th People's Art Actor Class. Now I work in People's Art."

When he said the first half of the sentence, the atmosphere did become more relaxed, but the second half shocked everyone.

Brother, please stop making trouble, please.

Why do drama actors from Renyi compete with us for small roles like this?

Lin Xuan knew more information than others and felt even more speechless.

Gao Dongping, graduated from Class 85 of the People's Arts Class, is a national first-class actor. Feng Yuanzheng and Wu Gang are his classmates.

You ask Lin Xuan why he knows so well?
Because the role of Zhang Changzong originally belonged to others.

Those graduates of Nortel China Drama, who were originally preparing to introduce themselves, did not dare to speak now.

Gao Dongping was a little embarrassed. He just wanted to break the embarrassment, but it made the atmosphere here even more embarrassing.

Fortunately, this atmosphere did not last long. When Li Shaohong and the crew came over, everyone stood up.

After a brief greeting, the assistant began to call names to audition.

As more and more people came in and fewer and fewer people came outside, everyone became more and more nervous.

"Which college did you graduate from?"

Lin Xuan was nervous when Gao Dongping suddenly sat next to him.

"Me?" Lin Xuan smiled awkwardly: "I didn't graduate from a major."

I just graduated from junior high school.

Gao Dongping knew he had made a mistake and smiled kindly: "Acting depends on talent, study, and accumulation. You don't have to graduate from a major to play a good role."

"Thank you." Lin Xuan smiled and nodded, not knowing why he said this.

In terms of acting skills alone, Gao Dongping is still very confident, but compared with other actors, he also has shortcomings.

Zhang Changzong in the play is in his early twenties, but he is already over 30. No matter how much he pretends to be young, it will be difficult to achieve results.

Among this group of young actors, he felt that Lin Xuan had the best facial features and the most suitable for this role, so he wanted to find out more about the enemy.

Unexpectedly, Lin Xuan did not graduate from a major. In this case, acting skills would be a big problem, and Gao Dongping gained some confidence.

"Gao Dongping! Next, Lin Xuan, get ready!"

"Then I'll go in first." "Come on."

Gao Dongping's audition took much longer than previous actors, and he had to wait for more than ten minutes before he came out.

Judging from the smile on his face, he must have performed well.

"I'm leaving first, come on."

"OK, bye."

Lin Xuan said a brief goodbye to him, then took a deep breath and walked into the house.

The layout of the room is very simple, with two sofas and a few folding chairs.

In addition to director Li Shaohong, there are also his husband Zeng Nianping, Chen Hong who plays Taiping, Gui Yalei who plays Wu Zetian, and Zhao Wenxuan who plays Xue Shao and Zhang Yizhi.

Several crew chiefs held some actor information in their hands. It seemed that these actors performed well and should be considered.

"Director Li, Director Zeng, hello teachers, my name is Lin Xuan, and I'm here to audition for the role of Zhang Changzong today."

Li Shaohong introduced to others: "This is the extra performer I told you about yesterday."

Gui Yalei nodded with satisfaction: "She looks good, and she's a good actor."

Chen Hong looked happy and said, "I was the first to discover him. Director Li didn't believe it at the time."

Lin Xuan suddenly realized that it was Chen Hong who recommended me to the director.

Li Shaohong smiled helplessly: "I won't take credit from you, Lin Xuan, did you hear that your boss is not me, but Chen Hong. If you become prosperous in the future, you must not forget this kindness."

"I dare not forget, thank you Sister Hong."

After a few pleasantries, Li Shaohong turned over the script and asked, "Are you familiar with the script?"

"I know it all by heart."

"Okay, then let Wenxuan play a role for you, any one."

"Good director."

Zhao Wenxuan stood up, walked to the open space in the middle, and comforted: "Don't be nervous, it's our first scene."

"Good teacher Zhao."

Zhao Wenxuan checked his status and said, "Let me ask you, why did you come to Beijing to take the exam?"

Lin Xuan quickly answered: "For... to be an official."

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the crew and crew members all lit up.

Zhang Changzong people are more beautiful than lotus flowers. They not only look good, but also sound nice when they speak, so their tone of voice should not be too harsh.

Lin Xuan's voice is not only clear and soft, but also slightly magnetic.

These are the four basic skills of an actor: vocal music and lines.

"What's the point of becoming an official?"

"For glory and wealth, isn't this your dream and mine?"

"You see, you haven't taken the exams and you haven't been an official. Aren't you rich and prosperous?"

Lin Xuan shook his head slightly and laughed at himself helplessly: "I am so rich and powerful, I am just a man's favorite."

"What's wrong with the male favorite? Wu Zetian was just a talented person back then."

Lin Xuan felt relieved, turned around and asked with some reluctance: "What, brother, do you also want to be a man's favorite?"

"Yes, I also want to ask you to give me recommendations. Let me ask you, have you met Princess Taiping?"

Lin Xuan turned his head with a puzzled expression: "Taiping? I've seen him before."

"Does he like you?"

Lin Xuan thought about it for a moment, and his expression showed a bit of confidence or arrogance:

"I'm not sure, she is different from the emperor, but any woman's heart will feel itchy if she leaves her man for too long. I tried her that day, and she was a little uncontrollable."
