Chapter 301: There are so many beauties, Zeng Li’s dilemma! (Please subscribe!)

Chinese Opera, experimental drama building.

The rostrum on the stage has been arranged, and the hundreds of seats under the stage are all occupied.

There are current students of the Chinese Opera, alumni who have graduated, and people from other schools who come to visit and study.

The auditorium was noisy. It was the first time that everyone saw this form of casting.

Even if they were not selected and could only sit in the audience, they were quite excited.

At around eight o'clock in the morning, the audition is about to begin.

Teachers from each school quickly stood up to maintain order.

In particular, the teachers from Beijing Film Academy and Shanghai Theater Academy looked more serious than the other.

In this kind of inter-school activity, they represent the face of the school, and they give many instructions before coming.

Because there are many young characters in the play, our producer, Sister Chen Hong, suggested that we go to school to choose a few newcomers.

The crew needs a total of 8 actors, and each of the three colleges recommended students.

Huang Bo knew that his image was not good, so he did not choose to audition for the role of a young police officer.

Today is my first time walking into the campus of China National Theater Academy, and I am as excited as everyone else.

I am very interested in her proposal, China Theater, Beijing Film Academy, Shanghai Theater is the cradle of actors, maybe I can get unexpected gains here.

Therefore, the final result may be different from the choice in your mind. I believe students who have audition experience should understand this truth. "

At first, people on and off stage were not very optimistic about Huang Bo.

With this sentence, Lin Xuan signed a disclaimer for himself.

The three judges besides me are Yan Danchen who graduated from Nortel, Duan Yihong who graduated from Chinese Opera, and Sister Chen Hong who graduated from Shanghai Theater.

“In addition, I would like to add that choosing a role is not about choosing the one with the best acting skills, nor the most beautiful and handsome, but choosing the one with the most suitable overall conditions.

"Teacher, hello classmates, hello four judges, I am Huang Bo from Nortel's dubbing class, and the role I want to audition for is the delivery boy in the play."

When he was ready, the host classmate handed him the words.

When the auditorium became quiet, two male and female students from the Chinese Opera Broadcasting Class came on stage to announce the curtain and welcome the crew and school leaders to the stage.

All interpretation rights belong to the crew.

They are already ready backstage and will perform on stage one after another in the order of drawing lots. The content of the audition is also determined by drawing lots.

Huang Bo has to perform without real objects or actors to play against him.

Who would have thought that Huang Bo, born in 74, and Liu Yifei, born in 87, were classmates in the same grade.

What an actor fears most is being mediocre, not good-looking, not ugly, and leaving the audience with nothing to remember.

Amidst the applause of the audience, the disheveled Huang Bo quickly walked onto the stage.

Welcome to the crew of "White Night". The school welcomes this kind of open auditions and hopes to hold them more in the future.

[The first person to appear is Huang Bo, a classmate from the 02 Beijing Film Academy dubbing class. Welcome. 】

When I was an ordinary group performer, I was full of yearning for this place...

The audition rules are simple and easy to understand, and all the students in the audience will understand them once.

The legendary stories that happened to him made students curious about him.

Let me briefly introduce the audition rules.

Although all those present here are preparatory personnel in the film and television industry, most of them saw Lin Xuan for the first time.

Except for the two young policemen, the rest of the male characters are either murderers or victims.

However, being ugly is also an advantage, and such actors are needed in many film and television productions.

The new drama "White Night" is a tough guy criminal investigation drama, which is expected to start filming at the end of the month.

After the performance, several of our judges were responsible for scoring, and the student with the highest score for each role won.

So you don't have to worry about which school the judges will favor. It all depends on the performance at the moment and who can impress the judges more. "

The person chosen was the delivery boy in the first case, who was also the murderer in the first case.

After arriving and taking a seat, the school leader stood up and delivered a speech.

Lin Xuan looked at him and took a serious look.

Don't be surprised if he meets an actor he likes and wants to be promoted.

After the school leader finished speaking, Lin Xuan picked up the microphone.

Huang Bo looks old. He is only thirty years old this year, but he looks like he is forty.

Lin Xuan followed the school leaders out from behind the scenes, and the audience burst into applause and noise.

The crew released a total of 8 characters, including two female characters and six male characters.

After the opening remarks, the host classmate came to the stage to announce the curtain.

"Hello, teachers and students, I am Lin Xuan.

He is old, his appearance is not outstanding, he is from Beijing Film Academy, and his acting skills are probably not very good either.

In recent years, along with Chinese opera and Beijing Film and Television students, they have gradually dominated film and television dramas.

Everyone was surprised to find that most of the actors with good acting skills came from Chinese operas.

Most actors with outstanding acting skills and good looks come from Nortel.

As a result, jokes about stars from Nortel and actors from Chinese dramas began to circulate on the Internet.

Those directors who came from Beijing Film Academy also liked to use Chinese opera students, which further contributed to the spread of jokes.

However, everyone watched for a while and found that something was wrong.

This "old" classmate's acting skills are good.

The delivery boy played by Huang Bo suffers from illness, which leads to psychological distortion and anti-social personality.

He performed the deliveryman's unwillingness and anger very well on stage.

The acting profession really depends on talent.

Lin Xuan thought to himself, and then wrote 90 points after his name.

Although the acting was great, there were many details that were not handled well.

But according to his understanding, he only needs to mention a few more words.

At the end of the performance, the four judges all spoke highly of him.

The first audition student was so strong, could there be more masters behind him?

The audience and judges are looking forward to the upcoming auditions.

However, who would have thought that Huang Bo would be at his peak when he appeared on stage.

The performances of several students in a row were unsatisfactory.

There are advantages to being older. The difference in experience of several decades is enough for Huang Bo to surpass these young people.

Although the acting skills of these young actors were average, Lin Xuan saw many familiar faces among the students who auditioned.

Wang Luodan, Ma Shu, Jia Nailiang, Jiang Yiyan, Zhou Yang, Luo Jin and Zhu Yawen from Nortel.

Wan Qian, Xiao Song Jia and Han Hedong appeared in the drama.

Tang Yan, Guo Zhenni, Hua Zhao, Tang Wei, Gao Lu and Gu Zhijin in the drama.

Most of the boys came to the two young policemen because they had the most roles in the play.

If there is no obvious gap in acting skills, then we can only compete in other aspects.

Everyone is wearing police uniforms, but their coats of arms look like gangsters. Gu Zhijin’s skin is too dark, and Jia Nailiang’s facial lines are not too hard.

After looking around, Luo Jin and Zhu Yawen looked the most suitable.

As long as girls are confident in their appearance, they will target the heroine Zhou Shutong.

This character must be beautiful and have a sense of youthfulness as if she is new to society.

Tang Wei and Wan Qian have good acting skills, but their faces are a bit big and not suitable for this role.

Ma Shu, Zhou Yang, Jiang Yiyan, Wang Luodan, Han Ha, and Guo Jenny were not beautiful enough in his opinion.

Gao Lu has the best looks among them, but her face is a bit charming. If she is chosen as the oiran, she will definitely win.

Tang Yan met all the requirements and even cut her hair short for the audition, but her acting skills were at the bottom among them.

Lin Xuan made these comments in front of them, without saving any face.

Such heart-wrenching words made the audience continue to express surprise.

This is a great director with such a vicious mouth.

Which of the female students on the stage was not chased by a bunch of people in school, and was afraid of falling if she was held in the palm of a boy's hand, but in his opinion, she was worthless at all.

Some boys are angry and complain on behalf of girls.

Some boys are yearning for her, and this is what a man should do.

The morning audition lasted a full three hours.

Although they didn't choose the most suitable actor, according to the rules, they still had to choose a general from this group of dwarves.

At noon, we had dinner in a private room of the Chinese Theater Canteen, and the crew discussed the final selection in the lounge.

"I think Han Ha is very good, beautiful and elegant." Chen Hong had a good impression of her.

"What I want is a female police officer, not a female CEO."

Yan Danchen said: "I think Jiang Yiyan is good, beautiful and a bit cold."

"Her appearance is not outstanding, and she has no memory at all." "What about Tang Yan?"

Duan Yihong finally spoke.

Lin Xuan reacted and looked at them: "The three of you recommended are all students from our school. Are you hiding your selfish motives?"

The three of them laughed and said nothing.

Going through the back door and building relationships is the norm in the industry.

Teachers from the school came to play emotional cards, and it was hard for them to refuse.

However, everyone knew that it was Lin Xuan who made the final decision.

"Tang Yan is suitable in every aspect, and she is very courageous. She dared to cut her hair just for the audition.

The only problem is the acting. The performance is too formulaic and doesn't look like a Chinese opera student at all. "

Duan Yihong felt that Lin Xuan was interested in her and quickly persuaded:
"If your acting skills are poor, you can teach them slowly after joining the group, but your temperament and appearance are flaws that cannot be changed."

Lin Xuan thought for a moment and looked at the other two people.

"What do you mean?"

Yan Danchen shrugged: "It's all a match for whoever I play for, I don't care."

"I'm still struggling with this. When I do the subtitles later, why don't I just change your name to precede hers?"

"Just kidding, I don't mind that much."

Lin Xuan asked Chen Hong again: "Sister Hong, what do you mean?"

Chen Hong was silent for a moment and then said: "Among the dwarfs, I can only choose her for the time being.

However, I will make it clear later that if she cannot keep up with the rhythm after joining the team and delays the filming progress, we have the right to replace her. "

"I know this, and other students should do the same."

Once the most important heroine is decided, the remaining roles will be much simpler.

"Let Huang Bo play the delivery boy, and I think Luo Jin and Zhu Yawen can play the young policeman..."

"As for policewoman Zhao Qian, give it to Wan Qian. We can't let the drama go to waste..."

While several people were discussing, there was a knock on the door of the lounge.

Lin Xuan stood up and opened the door.

An old lady with slightly white temples stood outside the door.

"you are?"

"Hello, director Lin Xuan, I am a teacher from China National Opera, and my name is Chang Li."

Lin Xuan was stunned for a moment, then reacted.

Chang Li, a legendary female teacher of Chinese opera, she led the 96 star class.

"Hello, Teacher Chang Li."

Lin Xuan politely stepped forward to shake hands.

"Hello, Director Lin, I have something to ask you. I don't know if it's inconvenient for you."

"On the other hand, let's go over there and talk."

The two of them came to the corridor outside, and a tall girl stood not far away with her back to the two of them.

"Turn around, no manners at all."

Teacher Chang Li scolded him, and the man turned around reluctantly.

"Zeng Li?"

"Director Lin, long time no see."

Zeng Li looked at him with a troubled expression.

Chang Li turned around and said, "Director Lin, I'm embarrassed to talk about this.

Zeng Li, this girl, has not developed very well in recent years. As a teacher, I am worried about her.

I just want to ask Director Lin, if there is a suitable role, I hope she can be considered. "

Lin Xuan raised his head and glanced at her, Zeng Li tilted her head in embarrassment.

The cast of "White Night" was auditioning at school. When she was bored, she came to the school and visited teacher Chang Li.

When the two were chatting at lunch, she complained a few words.

The old lady got excited and dragged her to the lounge.

Lin Xuan said: "I understand, but how do you recommend Zeng Li? I thought you wanted to recommend Hu Jing.

I heard that she was your favorite in Class 96, and her name even preceded the leading actor in the graduation drama. "

"Hu Jing is developing well and can play the leading female role in the play, so I don't have to worry about it.

It's the graduation drama...who told you this? "

Chang Li turned to look at the first suspect.

Zeng Li shook her head wildly.

I didn't do this.

"It's not her, Zhang Ziyi said it."

This was mentioned in an interview that Lin Xuan had read, but now she can only take the blame.

"She..."

Chang Li smiled and shook her head.

Although Zhang Ziyi is a low achiever in school, she is quite proud of being able to produce such outstanding students.

But when I mention Zhang Ziyi and Zeng Li, I immediately think of "My Father and Mother".

Chang Li couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

This man really depends on his fate.

Zeng Li is prettier than Zhang Ziyi, studies better than her, has better acting skills than her, and has a better figure than her.

But the scale of fate is tilted towards Zhang Ziyi.

"Let's not mention her. Director Lin, you should know that you have worked with Zeng Li. She is really excellent, serious and sensible, has a good personality, has no temper, and can also wash clothes and cook..."

The first half sounds pretty normal, but what the heck are the ones in the back who have good personalities and know how to wash clothes and cook.

Are you recommending actors, or are you going on a blind date to find a wife?

Zeng Li's pretty face turned red and she raised her head to glance at Lin Xuan.

As expected, there was a playful smile on his face.

Zeng Li stamped her feet in embarrassment and interrupted: "Mother Chang, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"what happened?"

The old lady hasn't reacted yet.

"Mother Chang, thank you for your help. Go and get busy. I'll talk to Director Lin here."

Zeng Li coaxed and pushed the old lady away.

"Goodbye, Director Lin. What I said is all the truth. Please think about it."

"I understand. Goodbye, Teacher Chang."

Lin Xuan smiled and waved goodbye to her.

This old lady is so funny.

Lin Xuan and Zeng Li were the only two people left in the corridor.

Because of the old lady's nonsense, she was now embarrassed and wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

"I didn't realize it, but you can also cook."

"I know how to cook some home-cooked food."

"Why haven't I seen you show off your skills on the set before?"

"The crew has lunch boxes, and Director Lin's lunch boxes are made by a private chef."

The two of them played Su Xin and Cheng Shifei in "The Best of the World". They have the smallest age difference between mother and son in history.

"I heard from your teacher that things haven't been going well lately?"

"Chang Ma just likes to worry, Director Lin, don't take it to heart. I've been doing well in the past two years, and I can occasionally play the leading role, although it's a small crew..."

Lin Xuan was too lazy to listen to her nonsense and took out his cell phone.

"There are still a few roles left to be cast in "White Night". I will look back and see if there is a chance to work together again. Please leave your phone number."

Although the two of them worked together in "The Best of the World", not everyone has Lin Xuan's personal phone number.

Zeng Li was stunned for half a second, and then happily took out her phone.

"Director Lin, my number is **********. Please save your number for me, otherwise I won't know who is calling."

"No problem, I'll go back first."

"Goodbye."

Zeng Li watched Lin Xuan leave with a smile on her face.
