Chapter 6 Getting a Role
Xiao Jianben chose the first scene of the script in his hand, but a thought flashed in his mind for no reason, "This scene is not easy to act."

It's not that the lines are not funny, nor is it that the performance is too difficult for him to handle.On the contrary, the line in the script is very funny, and the performance is not too difficult. People with a little acting skills can perform with joy.So Xiao Jian was not sure about making himself better than others.

He can imagine that with the same level of performance, because he has no acting experience, his own image does not match the image of the characters in the script, and he has a great chance of being dismissed.Xiao Jian must show a performance that is obviously better than others, so that it is possible for the director to keep him.

"How can I stand out so that the director can choose me?" Xiao Jian's brain started to work rapidly.

"Are you ready?"

Seeing Xiao Jian standing there for a long time, Ning Hao thought he was stage fright and seemed a little impatient.

"When performing, facial expressions and language are separated to shape the audio-visual conflict of the characters to achieve the purpose of humor."

Such a sentence flashed in Xiao Jian's mind, which greatly increased his confidence.After flipping through the thin script, my eyes finally locked on the scene where the character called his friend in Hong Kong while he was in the toilet.

"Excuse me director, I will start acting right away."

After finishing speaking, he squatted on the ground, made a squatting posture, and took out his copycat phone as a prop.

A "pure" Gang Pu spat out from Xiao Jian's mouth: "Is it done? If you want to be romantic, waste it first. How can you pick up girls if you don't have money?"

"Hahaha..." There was laughter in the room.

The very free and easy words, coupled with Xiao Jian's expression of frowning, puffing up his cheeks, and pulling his face vigorously, directly amused the on-site interview and the interviewees.

Even these professionals were amused by him, Xiao Jian knew that he had most of the success.Happy, but there is no laughing place. Once the laughter in the room stops, the performance will continue.

"No money? Ask your father for it. There are so many gangsters in Hong Kong, and they say you have been kidnapped. If you don't believe me, your father will leave you alone... Well, I won't tell you. They are having a party... There are countless beauties."

When it comes to the countless beauties, Xiao Jian has a smooth and comfortable expression of being pulled out, as much as he wants.

"Hahaha……"

Laughter rang out again in the room.

Xiao Jian stood up smiling and said to the director Ning Hao who opened his mouth slightly: "Director, I'm done."

Ning Hao was shocked by his amazing performance, he never expected that this "relationship household" who thought it was just a formality would bring him a surprise, and he felt like he had found a treasure.

Although the role of Xie Xiaomeng is not the protagonist and does not have many roles, but this role promotes the development of the film's plot. If the performance is good, it is definitely another point of view besides the three main lines of the film One Soldier and Two Thieves.

Next, Ning Hao asked Xiao Jian to act in a romantic scene of chasing beautiful women, and Xiao Jian performed brilliantly.Then there was another scene where Brother Dao beat him. Xiao Jian asked Wang Xun, whom he had just met, to help with the scene. The two performed well, and Ning Hao expressed his satisfaction.

"Xiao Jian, congratulations on passing the audition, come here this afternoon to sign the contract."

This is the first time Ning Hao has decided on an actor at the interview site during the interview.

Hearing Ning Hao's words, Xiao Jian could no longer maintain the indifferent look on his face, and grinned happily, "I'm an actor, a real actor, not a temporary performance, nor a stand-in."

Xiao Jian felt that today was his lucky day, he was in very good condition, and he was like a godsend during the performance.Many times, as long as he thinks about it, inspiration pops up in his mind, and the performance is easy to perform, which finally impresses Ning Hao.

"Wait for me, we will have dinner together later."

When going out, Wang Xun, who just met and got along well, stopped Xiao Jian and said.

"Okay, I'll wait for you at the door."

After Xiao Jian walked out of the interview room, he shook his fist vigorously and roared, he was too excited.As Li Yonghao said, as long as it is on the big screen, no matter how bad it is, you can get a special actor in the future. Besides, Xiao Jian feels that the script of "Crazy Stone" is not bad. As a comedy, it has many brilliant points. It's not too bad, it shouldn't be a problem to shoot well.As long as the film is not bad and my performance is passable, then it is still possible to find a small supporting role in the future.

Half an hour later, Wang Xun came out with a relaxed expression on his face, and Xiao Jian went up to meet him: "Brother Xun, how are you doing, have you taken down the character?"

"Needless to say, I'm also a well-known figure in the comedy world."

"Haha, yes, it fully shows that our director is still very discerning."

"He can't hear you flattering here. I know there is an authentic Sichuan restaurant near here, so let's go there for dinner."

Under the leadership of Wang Xun, the two walked for more than ten minutes, entered a small and exquisite restaurant called "Siweiguan", ordered four dishes, and because they had to sign a contract in the afternoon, they only ordered two bottles of beer.When the dishes were served, the two chatted while eating.

"The taste is really good, but it's a little numb. I hate the feeling of biting into peppercorns." Xiao Jian ate a big piece, saying so, but he didn't seem to be intimidated by the numbness of peppercorns.

"You son of a bitch, your words don't match your heart. No wonder you acted so well just now. It's a pity that it's a true performance." Wang Xun scolded with a smile, and asked, "How did you think of separating words and actions to achieve humorous purposes?" As a comedian, he was very curious about Xiao Jian's method.

Xiao Jian wanted to say that he didn't know, it was just a flash of inspiration in his mind, but he couldn't say that, because he couldn't convince himself with such a statement.So he said: "It should be the usual accumulation. I was a group performer in Hengdian. When I was free, I often went to Daxingming to ask for autographs. Finding autographs for celebrities is not easy at all. It should have been practiced at that time." .”

Some interesting things about asking for autographs from celebrities were told by Xiao Jian as a joke. After talking about it, Xiao Jian himself felt that his humorous performance was practiced by seeking autographs from celebrities all the year round.

"I didn't expect that there are still people who sell celebrity autographs for a living. You are doing so well. You really are the number one scholar in your career!"

Wang Xun expressed his understanding with a smile, and explained his experience in humorous performances to Xiao Jian, which benefited Xiao Jian a lot, calling him "a good teacher".

In the end, Xiao Jian took the opportunity of going to the bathroom and bought the bill. The money was not much, only a few hundred yuan. After Wang Xun found out, although he complained, his favorability towards Xiao Jian increased a lot. Said that he must come back next time.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the two returned to the audition place, where the contract was signed. The place was really shabby, no wonder Wang Xun always suspected that it was a lie.But when he saw the money on the table, he didn't think so.

After a detailed interpretation of the clauses, after confirming that there was no objection, Xiao Jian signed his name on the contract, and got the first drama contract in his life, the first role, and got half of the salary—— — Seven thousand five hundred yuan.

Because he is a newcomer and has no agent, his salary is kept down to only [-]. Wang Xun has fewer roles than him, but his salary is much higher than him.

Xiao Jian has nothing to dissatisfy, if he gets to act, he wins, and if he gets paid, it's a pleasant surprise, and it's much higher than the money he gets for being a group performer.You have to know how many people out there get zero pay, or even get paid for acting.

Another sad thing is that Xiao Jian has to "transform" himself into a fat man before mid-November. According to director Ning Hao, you are 11 meters tall and weigh only 1.8. At least you have to increase to 180 catties.

It is now August, which means that he must gain forty catties within three months.Xiao Jian trembled a little at the thought of at least forty catties of flesh hanging on his body, but he still had to gain weight, and it had to be completed within three months.Who told him to be an actor, he must meet the requirements after taking the role, this is the most basic professional quality!
