Chapter 342 Sissi OUT
"Wow..." A little actor started crying loudly after the audition.

Little Gilbert and Nolan looked at each other, both feeling helpless. This was the third time the little actor cried.

This little actor is only seven years old and he forgot his words when he was performing just now. This is not a big deal, as adult actors often forget their words and perform just the same.

The main thing is that the young actors get nervous after forgetting their lines, and because of that they can’t perform, and then they start crying.

Although the young actor's mother tried her best to comfort him, the young actor was difficult to comfort, which resulted in a bumpy audition that almost failed to go on.

In fact, whether in Hollywood or here, child actors are the most difficult to deal with.

You can't scold an adult actor if he doesn't perform well, but you can't scold a child, otherwise things might get really bad.

Of course, what's better here than in North America is that there are child protection associations causing trouble in North America, but there are none here.

It's a good thing for the crew, but it's not a good thing for the children.

It was difficult to calm the young actress down and get her to leave before the audition could proceed.

In the young actors' lounge, Mother Liu was holding a cup of water and carefully admonishing her daughter: "Xixi, don't be nervous when you go in later.

Just like my mom taught me, I said hello and introduced myself first.”

As Liu's mother spoke, she took out a photo, which turned out to be a portrait of little Gilbert. If little Gilbert saw this, he would be somewhat embarrassed.

You're still collecting my photos? You're kind of secretly in love with me...

Mother Liu pointed at the photo and said, "Especially Director Gilbert Jr., if he takes a liking to you, then it won't be a problem for you to get the role."

Under the training of her mother since she was a child, Xixi has behaved very maturely. Her mentality is undoubtedly better than other auditioning actors.

She nodded: "Don't worry, Mom, I will definitely behave well."

"Yeah..." Mother Liu nodded heavily.

Just at this moment, Xixi's name was called on the audition list. Mother Liu watched Xixi enter the audition hall with expectant eyes.

Xixi entered the audition hall and immediately saw several people sitting at the top.

One of the foreigners was someone she knew, director Gilbert Jr. The other mother also asked about a director named Christopher Nolan, the film's chief director.

There is also Brother Cheng Long, who I heard is here to act with the children.

Following her mother's blessing, Xixi greeted everyone gracefully and introduced herself.

According to her past experience, the director of the audition would usually say a few words of praise at this time, such as saying the child is beautiful and cute.

But what made Sissi a little flustered was that little Gilbert and Nolan at the top had no expression on their faces. They just whispered a few words to each other and then signaled that the audition should begin directly.

But it doesn’t matter. Big Hollywood directors don’t need to look at the connections in the Chinese film and television circles, nor do they need to.

So little Gilbert didn't need to consider his godfather's face and just did his job impartially.

Sissi took the script in a daze and followed the assistant director's instructions to prepare for five minutes. But this sudden change in attitude made Sissi a little confused.

After all, he is not an adult actor, and even if Liu's mother taught him, he would not be able to keep his mentality stable.

Auditions, like taking a driving test, depend most on your attitude.

No matter how well you practice driving, if you are not in the right state of mind in the test room, you will not be able to perform well. The same is true for auditions. A small change may affect your performance in the audition.

This time, Sissi is like this. The Adventures of Cheng Long is a modern drama, which is not what Sissi is good at. Moreover, her performance is too dignified, and she does not reflect Xiaoyu's quirky feeling.

After the performance, young Gilbert asked the assistant director to ask Sissi to leave, and then he discussed the matter behind closed doors.

This is something I learned from experience. Previously, I discussed her performance in front of the child actor, but ended up making the child cry, so I had to ask the mother to help sort it out.

So I learned my lesson and never said this in front of the young actors again.

Mother Liu was waiting outside the door. When she saw Xixi coming out, she quickly asked, "How was it? Did Director Gilbert say anything?"

Xixi shook her head and said, "They let me finish my performance and then left. They didn't say anything to my face." "That's true. Maybe it's because they were afraid that the young actors were too young and it would be difficult to say anything to their faces," Mother Liu analyzed.

She then asked, "How was your performance?"

Xixi said honestly, "I was a little nervous. It was different from what I remembered of the audition, so I panicked and didn't perform well."

Mother Liu is impatient: "How can you be nervous? I have told you many times that the most important thing in an audition is your attitude. Your attitude is the most important thing."

Xixi shrank her head: "I'm sorry, Mom, I didn't perform well."

“It’s okay,” Mother Liu looked at the other young actors who were also nervous and waved her hand, saying, “It’s okay, the other young actors are just as nervous.

Xixi, you are so beautiful. As long as you can perform well, I will ask your godfather to find some connections, and you should be able to get the role."

"Yes!" Xixi nodded heavily and began to look forward to the moment when she got the role.

From childhood to adulthood, there has never been anything she couldn't get that she wanted!

Unfortunately, Sissi is destined to be disappointed this time.

After Xixi left, Little Gilbert discussed with Nolan and Cheng Long: "What do you think of the performance of this little actor?"

"The girl is still very pretty, but she doesn't have that kind of feeling when acting! If it were a costume drama, perhaps the effect would be much better." Cheng Long was the first to express his opinion.

Nolan said: "This level is not as good as the last crying little actor. She must be much older, right? I don't recommend choosing this actor."

To little Gilbert, the Fairy Sister has a filter, after all, Zhao Linger in the previous life's "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" was his white moonlight.

However, this filter will not affect Gilbert's judgment. He is a mature director and this is not the time for him to act on impulse.

From a professional perspective, regardless of her age, Fairy Sister cannot pass the performance test alone.

So after comprehensive opinions, little Gilbert simply drew a cross on Fairy Sister and struck her out.

Mother Liu doesn't know that her daughter has no hope yet. She is still counting on asking Sissi's godfather to use his connections to ensure that Sissi can get the role.

All I can say is that it's all in vain, and human relationships aren't so easy to gain.

The godfather may be powerful here, but he cannot influence a billionaire or a Hollywood super director.

As long as Gilbert Jr. doesn't want to join his crew, even if Bill Gates is asked to fill in, it won't work, let alone the so-called godfather.

How much money does he have? How many people can he bribe?

After Sissi's audition, it was the turn of little Gilbert's 'favorite' Da Mi Mi, but at this time Da Mi Mi was still Little Mi Mi.

She has some spirit and also gave the role of Xiaoyu a bit. She also acted well with Cheng Long, so she was listed as a backup.

The performances of several other young actors born in the 1990s were not very good, but age is an advantage for these young actors. Among them, Yang Zi and a young actor named Wang Jiaqi were listed as alternatives.

Little Gilbert said he had never heard of the name Wang Jiaqi, and maybe she stopped being in the entertainment industry after she grew up.

This is normal. For example, Weng Feiran, who played the young Ying Zheng in "Qin Shi Huang", was simply the chosen young Ying Zheng.

The unique temperament of the young Ying Zheng, who is in a foreign country and has a special identity, is conveyed through precise eyes and expressions - sinister, indifferent, aloof, like a latent dragon in the abyss, waiting for the right opportunity.

This kind of deep inner portrayal, coupled with his innate cold temperament and powerful aura, makes the image of the young Qin Shi Huang played by Weng Feiran transcend the limitations of age, presenting a maturity and majesty that surpasses child stars of the same age.

It is particularly worth mentioning that Weng Feiran actually went to the crew to experience life under the guidance of her mother, and was then spotted by the director at first sight.

So during the summer vacation, he played the young Ying Zheng, and can be said to be the best summer worker in history.

However, Weng Fei never acted again afterwards. Instead, he entered the ranks of those with stable jobs and stayed away from the entertainment industry.

If I am not mistaken, Weng Feiran has just finished playing the young Ying Zheng.

It’s a pity that Xiaoyu can’t be changed into a boy, otherwise little Gilbert would have wanted to find someone to act with this young Ying Zheng.
