Chapter 113 Auditions

"Zhimo, here is an invitation for a TV drama audition, do you want to go?" Huo Xiwen said to Lin Zhimo who was sitting on a chair reading a book.

Lin Zhimo looked up at Huo Xiwen, then let him sit on the stool in front of him and asked, "Sister Wen, tell me in detail."

"This drama was prepared by Zhao Baogang, the director of last year's 'Never Close Your Eyes' TV series. It is currently undergoing cast auditions and is expected to start filming next month. This drama..." Huo Xiwen told Lin Zhimo in detail Check out the info about the show.

Lin Zhimo closed his eyes and pondered for a while, then said, "Where is the audition arrangement?"

Although Lin Zhimo is unwilling to shoot TV dramas and wants to work hard on the big screen, the development of the facts will not be shifted by personal will. Mo also participated in a lot of movies, but either the script was inappropriate or the audition failed, so he paid attention to this TV series.

"The audition is arranged in Xia Hai City." Huo Xiwen looked at the file and said.

"Okay, let's set off tomorrow." Lin Zhimo made up his mind.

Because Lin Zhimo's scenes were almost finished filming during this period, he just verbally talked to Wang Xiaoshuai the next day, and it was considered a leave of absence.

Xiahai City in May is already extremely hot, and Lin Zhimo's back was covered with fine beads of sweat just after getting off the plane, looking at Huo Xiwen who had already put on a professional dress, Lin Zhimo asked: "Sister Wen, Didn't you already know that Xia Hai would be so hot?"

"Yeah, what's the matter?" Huo Xiwen asked in a natural tone.

"What's the matter? Sister Wen! Look at the clothes on my body. In some ways, they look like summer clothes." Lin Zhimo said anxiously, pulling the thin fleece sweater on his body with his hands.

There was a flash of a smile in Huo Xiwen's eyes, but his mouth was seriously sized up: "You seem a little silly like this, but isn't fashion the same as being different? Maybe your outfit will be honored as the most popular this summer. What about your outfit?"

Lin Zhimo curled her lips: "As long as I don't suffer from heat stroke when I arrive at the audition location, even if I'm judged as the worst-dressed actor in the world, I will recognize it."

At the audition scene, Lin Zhimo unexpectedly found Zhou Xun in the corridor, and Lin Zhimo hurried forward two steps to stop him.

"Sister Zhou, why are you here?" Lin Zhimo asked with a smile.

The name Zhou Xun was used by Lin Zhimo to tease Zhou Xun's figure, because Zhou Xun's body is relatively thin, but he has a strong aura, so Lin Zhimo, who has become familiar with Zhou Xun, has been using Zhou Xun's name as Zhou Xun.

Zhou Xun turned his head and found that it was Lin Zhimo, so he also smiled happily: "Yo, isn't this black sesame, why are you here too?"

Regarding Lin Zhimo’s reaction to giving him this nickname, Zhou Xun called Lin Zhimo Black Sesame in a tit-for-tat manner. Of course, Sesame is a big deal, and because there is a black word in the word “Mo” in Lin Zhimo’s name , coupled with Lin Zhimo's dark complexion in the drama "17-year-old Bicycle", so "Black Sesame" was officially released.

"Of course I'm here to audition, how about you, the box lunch?" Lin Zhimo retorted.

"No," Zhou Xun explained solemnly, "The director asked me to do psychological counseling work. He said that there might be a certain male star who left here disappointed. The director was afraid that he would not think about it and do something stupid."

Although he didn't clearly point out that it was the male star, Zhou Xun's gaze never left Lin Zhimo's surroundings for a moment, and the meaning was very clear.

Lin Zhimo knew that she was here to audition when he heard Zhou Xun said that she was doing psychological work, because the crew had already handed over part of the script to Lin Zhimo before coming here, so he knew that there was a female character in the play who had a mental illness. mental illness.

The two entered inside jokingly.

Lin Zhimo wanted to conduct an interview ahead of Zhou Xun, so he entered a small conference room first.

There is a long table covered with red cloth on the side of the wall facing the door in the small conference room. There are several middle-aged men sitting behind the long table. The one in the middle is Zhao Baogang, the director of the TV series. There are several producers and assistant directors.

There is also a row of chairs on the other side of the meeting room door, and a young man is already sitting on the chair at this time.

Lin Zhimo, a young man, met him once when he was studying at Yanjing Film and Television University, and his name seemed to be Chen Kun.The most impressive thing about Chen Kun is the kind of melancholy that seems to be born in him, especially his eyes, the pupils are very black, coupled with sharp facial features, he looks like a handsome guy.

The other party nodded slightly when he saw Lin Zhimo coming in, and Lin Zhimo also smiled back.

Zhao Baogang said at this time: "Okay, since you two are here, go down and change your outfit first, and let me see the photos with makeup."

Lin Zhimo frowned slightly when he heard the words, because Lin Zhimo didn't take advantage of his image alone, and even said he would suffer a little, because Lin Zhimo's role to participate in the audition was a small worker in a watch shop, Compared with Chen Kun, Lin Zhimo's figure is undoubtedly a bit tall.

But despite this, Lin Zhimo has no fear in his heart, he is confident that he will not lose to anyone in terms of acting skills.

The makeup artist is shared by two people, because they didn't know each other before, and now it's such a competitive relationship, so both of them hated that they didn't take the initiative to talk to each other, so in the silence, the two The initial make-up is done.

Although the audition is for the same role, I don't know if it is because of the different scenes that will be performed later, the two have very different makeup.

Chen Kun is now wearing a coarse cloth shirt and a yellow cap on his head. He looks downcast and reveals a chic temperament; Lin Zhimo is wearing a slightly more formal white shirt , with a tie around his neck and a small cap on his head, which is gray and has a different temperament from Chen Kun. Lin Zhimo has a strong figure because he has been practicing martial arts all year round, so he gives people a strong masculine impact feel.

The few people sitting behind the long table looked at the two people who had already put on their makeup. I don't know if it was an illusion. Lin Zhimo always felt that when they were discussing, their eyes were mostly on Chen Kun. side, and only rarely put it on myself.

Lin Zhimo smiled wryly in his heart: "It seems that this figure is sometimes an important prerequisite."

Lin Zhimo didn't feel much about this before, because since he came into contact with acting, he has always presented this kind of image that is biased towards martial arts. Erkang in Huanzhugege is the royal guard with a sword in front of the emperor. Requires both civil and military skills; Ban Tianyun in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is a bandit and robber with superb martial arts; except that the childbirth in My Father and Mother is not compatible with the figure, but that kind of role does not seem to have much to do with the figure; at the age of 17 Inside the bicycle, the figure of a migrant worker would not be too thin.

So it was only at this moment that Lin Zhimo realized that he had been ignoring this issue before, but now he hopes that the director on stage will not jump to conclusions so quickly, and he also needs to examine the acting skills of the two, so he can't think of any way for the time being This disadvantage can be reversed.

After discussing with a few people around him, Zhao Baogang said to Lin Zhimo and Chen Kun, "Okay, next, you guys will act out the scene you prepared."

Lin Zhimo and Chen Kun looked at each other, and Chen Kun said first, "Am I first or you first?"

Lin Zhimo was keenly aware that when Chen Kun asked a question, he said "I first" and then "You first", which to a certain extent shows that Chen Kun is willing to perform first.

However, since there were only two people at the scene, Lin Zhimo just smiled and said indifferently: "It's okay."

Chen Kun said: "Then I will show my ugliness first, and throw bricks to attract jade."

Lin Zhimo smiled and said, "I'll wait and see."

Chen Kun nodded to Lin Zhimo and stood up, and then said to everyone on the stage: "The next thing I want to perform is the scene where Chen Zikun climbed into Fang Ziyi's room one night."

Lin Zhimo couldn't help laughing wryly when he heard Chen Kun's introduction, because he suddenly remembered that the name of the hero he was going to play in the film was "Chen Zikun", and the actor in front of him was also called Chen Kun. Is it intentional or God's will?Lin Zhimo looked at Chen Kun who had already started to perform at this time, and suddenly understood why he wanted to perform first.

Head start!

Chen Kun came up with such an idea. First, let the judges on the stage pay attention to his name, and then he specifically mentioned the name of the protagonist, so that the judges would pay attention to him invisibly. It's good for him.Of course, there are pros and cons. If Chen Kun's performance is unsightly, the judges will be more disgusted with him. But obviously, Chen Kun, who was born in a formal school, is not worried about his acting skills .

After a while, Chen Kun's performance ended, and several people on the stage whispered again, looking at Chen Kun with satisfied eyes, and a producer smiled and nodded at Chen Kun.

Chen Kun naturally also saw that his chances of winning were relatively high, so his originally tense expression began to relax slowly, and a faint smile began to appear on his face.

Lin Zhimo's heart sank as he looked at it: "I don't have much hope...forget it, fight!"

The discussions between Zhao Baogang and the others came to fruition at this time. After he calmed down, he said to Lin Zhimo: "Okay, Lin Zhimo, it's your turn to perform next."

Lin Zhimo took a deep breath, walked to the center of the meeting room calmly, and asked in a steady tone, "Director Zhao, can I use some water from you?"

Zhao Baogang was taken aback for a moment, wondering what Lin Zhimo was going to do with the water. He didn't need water in that scene, but he nodded and said, "Of course."

The judges next to him were also a little confused, so they knew what scene Lin Zhimo was going to perform next, so they had the same doubts as Zhao Baogang, but no one thought that Lin Zhimo was playing tricks, after all, now It can be said that Lin Zhimo is already a top TV star, and there is no need for such tricks.

In fact, Lin Zhimo did have some thoughts of his own when he did this, because according to his observation, several directors on the scene were very satisfied with Chen Kun's performance just now, so with this mentality, they were watching Lin Zhimo When performing, you will unknowingly bring a critical eye.

From a psychological point of view, this is called the "commitment and consistency" principle, that is, once some people have made a certain decision or chosen a certain position, they will face personal and external pressure to force their words and deeds to conform to it. be consistent.And under this pressure, they will take a certain behavior to stick to their previous decision.

Regarding this kind of psychology, someone once found an interesting example in the horse gamblers, that is, once the horse gamblers placed a bet, their confidence in the horse they bought immediately increased greatly.In fact, the probability of the horse winning has not changed at all. The horse is still the same horse, the track is the same track, and the field is the same field.But in the eyes of these horse gamblers, once the bet is placed, the hope of winning these horses is greatly improved.

Similarly, this kind of psychology is also very applicable in this kind of occasion, because some people have already made a decision to support Chen Kun during the previous discussion, so when they watch Lin Zhimo's performance now, they will involuntarily bring a kind of Picky, even if Lin Zhimo's performance is as good as Chen Kun's, or even slightly better, then under the influence of the psychology of "commitment and consistency", they will start to magnify Lin Zhimo's shortcomings in performance, Then make a judgment that is consistent with what you said and did just now!

Of course, because of the particularity of the current situation, the few people on the stage knew clearly from the very beginning that there would be two people competing for the spot, so this kind of mentality would not be too serious, but even so, Lin Zhimo didn't dare to gamble, so he came up with a way to eliminate this psychological influence as much as possible, that is-to divert attention!

In fact, his next performance can be completed even without water, but when Lin Zhimo asked for some water to help him perform, then everyone on the stage would involuntarily have a kind of curiosity. It will cover up their previous decision to a certain extent. If Lin Zhimo's performance is not bad later, then there will be a step when they overturn their previous conclusion-you see Well prepared well, even thought of the water problem.

These things are troublesome to say, but Lin Zhimo has been thinking about it in his heart since Chen Kun finished his performance. When he stood up from his seat, his voice, facial expression, and movement range were all in the same place just now. The planned action based on his reasoning has only one purpose, which is to let the judges refocus their attention on themselves and offset the impact of Chen Kun's previous performance.

Lin Zhimo calmly unscrewed the mineral water in front of Zhao Baogang, poured some lightly in the palm of his hand, and then wiped it on his face as sweat beads, and at the same time, squeezed a little on his back. After doing all this, Lin Zhimo Then he loosened his tie and unbuttoned a few buttons. After doing this, Lin Zhimo looked very embarrassed.

Lin Zhimo returned to the center of the meeting room again, and said calmly, "I'm going to start the performance."

Seeing Lin Zhimo's actions, Chen Kun on the side at this time has completely lost the complacency just now. Erlang's legs that were raised just now have been put down, and he sat upright and began to wait for Lin Zhimo's performance. On a rival.

Lin Zhimo's temperament suddenly changed at this time, the original indifference disappeared, his face was full of anxiety, and his mouth was even a little wheezing.

Lin Zhimo's sudden change shocked everyone. This kind of temperament change cannot be done by an actor with top acting skills.

Chen Kun suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, as if he had seen this character getting farther and farther away from him.

What Lin Zhimo wanted to perform was the scene where Chen Zikun didn't show up for the wedding on time due to some other reasons, and immediately came to the unconscious Du Xinyu's bedside after returning.

Lin Zhimo ran a few quick steps in the middle of the conference room, then stopped suddenly, and slowly squatted down on one side, the expression on his face became distressed, and at the same time he made a gesture of trying to suppress his disorder The way you breathe.

Lin Zhimo seemed to grab Du Xinyu's hand lying on the bed with both hands, and put her hand on his face, muttering to himself, "Xinyu!" At this moment, Lin Zhimo's eyes were filled with There were crystal clear tears, but they didn't fall, and there was a feeling of guilt that was too thick to dissolve.

At this time, the people behind the long table were completely attracted by Lin Zhimo's performance. They never thought that Lin Zhimo's performance would be so brilliant and shocking!In contrast, although Chen Kun's performance just now was excellent, it still had some craftsmanship, which made people feel as if they lacked spirituality.

Because Lin Zhimo performed with his back to Chen Kun, he couldn't see how Lin Zhimo was performing, but Chen Kun could still see the expressions of several directors very clearly, so when he saw the faces of several directors Seeing the shocked expression on the screen, my heart skipped a beat, and my fists couldn't help clenching.

Lin Zhimo's performance was not over yet, he seemed to see Du Xinyu waking up in the air in front of him, his face suddenly became ecstatic, and his hands held her hand tightly, so excited that he couldn't speak Come.

After a while, as if he heard what Du Xinyu said to himself, he replied: "No, your father... didn't hit me." As he said this, the tears that had always been in his eyes finally fell.

Although Lin Zhimo didn't have extra lines or exaggerated performances, everyone knew that the tears Lin Zhimo shed at this time were tears of emotion, tears of guilt, tears of self-blame, and tears of happiness .

"It turns out that a man's crying scene can also be performed so touchingly!" This was the unanimous feeling of everyone present.

At this time, Zhao Baogang, who was originally sitting on the stage with an expressionless expression, suddenly slapped his thigh, and shouted uncontrollably in his heart: "This is Chen Zikun, this is the Chen Zikun I want!"

When Lin Zhimo finished his performance, the few people on the stage did not whisper like Chen Kun did just now, but looked at Chen Kun with a slightly regretful expression.

Chen Kun felt chilled when he saw Zhao Baogang looking at him with a guilty expression. He knew he was out of action. Obviously, Lin Zhimo's performance had completely moved them, but he was also open-minded. He smiled heartily and told Lin Zhimo Mo stretched out his hand and said, "Congratulations!"

Lin Zhimo naturally wouldn't put on airs at this time, and quickly held Chen Kun's hand and said, "Your performance just now was also very good, I mean it."

Chen Kun was really angry when he heard the first half of Lin Zhimo's sentence, but when he heard the second half of Lin Zhimo's explanation from Chen Ken, he also understood that Lin Zhimo was not mocking himself, smiled wryly, shook his head and said : "No matter how good the performance is, it's not as good as yours... Goodbye."

Chen Kun didn't want to stay here for a long time. After saying goodbye to several people, he opened the door and left.

When Chen Kun went out, Zhao Bao just stepped off the stage and said to Lin Zhimo with a smile: "Zhimo, you are welcome to join the crew like fog, like rain and like wind for a while."

"temporary?"

Lin Zhimo and Zhao Bao just shook hands, and they didn't understand the word "temporary".

Zhao Baogang said with a smile: "Yes, temporarily. Your performance is very good. To be honest, I am impressed! But your figure is too big. I will give you half a month to reduce your weight. How much can you lose? How much, if your figure hasn't changed after half a month, don't blame me for being merciless."

Lin Zhimo scratched his head: "Director Zhao, then you have to give me an indicator, how much will it be lowered?"

"A hundred catties is not too much, and ten catties is not too little." Zhao Baogang smiled when he saw Lin Zhimo's still bewildered face, "Go for yourself, hehe."
