Chapter 24 The odds are mine to win

"Eat an orange."

"But it's a business opportunity."

"Boss, there are 37,000 bottles of genuine medicine in China and 2,000 bottles of pirated medicine in India. The efficacy of the medicine is exactly the same."

"If you bring more back..."

Gong Qiang performed the frailty of seriously ill patients. How should I put it, being selected as one of the four young students born in the 1990s, he really has two brushes to express the patient's subtle urgency vividly.

After the three- to four-minute audition ended, Gong Qiang also exited the state and said: "Director Tong and Teacher Chu have finished their performances."

"Teacher Gong, wait for a moment in the lounge." Screenwriter Chu Quan spoke for the first time.

There was no clue from the examiner's expression, but Gong Qiang had confidence in himself, so he left calmly.

After the auditionee left the room, the writer and director began their discussion.

"The performance is good. Is he the actor Director Tong is looking for?" Chu Quan asked.

"It's better than I thought." Tong Qu adjusted his glasses, "Let's take a look."

On the other side, Gong Qiang was the first arrow sent out. He was immediately greeted by a series of greetings after returning to the conference room. The main purpose was obvious, which was to know the situation in the audition room.

Actors will still be nervous no matter how many times they audition, just like a singer will be nervous no matter how many years in his career, the concept is the same. This is also a good thing, always stay in awe of the camera (stage).

Gong Qiang didn't hide it, and told him about the audition, but there was nothing useful.

Looking at the complacent Gong Qiang, Jiang Qingliu's legs shook faster. This kind of confidence simply looked down upon his strength!

Five minutes later, a staff member wearing navy blue came and gently reminded Jiang Qingliu that it was his turn to audition. The latter got up and entered the audition room.

"Jiang Qingliu has something, but not much." Gong Qiang looked away from Jiang Qingliu's back and glanced at the other opponents.

Gong Qiang doesn't watch bad movies. Like Jiang Qingliu, he has never watched New Swordsman, but he has watched "Actors Please Take Your Place."

However, personal hard work cannot be denied, so Gong Qiang judged based on his own experience in the industry that Huang Baiyou played a role that fits his personality with 30% hard work and 70% luck.

To sum up the above, what can you argue with me about?

Ten minutes later, Jiang Qingliu walked out of the audition room, his eyes scanning the ground, his mood clearly visible to the naked eye.

This shows that Jiang and Gong think about things in completely opposite ways. After a few minutes of audition footage, neither the director nor the screenwriter commented. "Please go to the lounge and wait for a while," it was Chu Quan who said.

But Gong Qiang felt that he was favored and asked the screenwriter to speak because he wanted to keep it secret. Jiang Qingliu felt that it was because of his poor performance that the director did not hesitate to speak.

Seeing Jiang Qingliu's unable to hide his expression, Gong Qiang nodded with satisfaction. The mental process is probably that if you are unhappy, I will be happy.

As before, auditions do not happen one after another, and you need to wait for notification, because the director and screenwriter have to discuss the performance.

At this time, Tong Qu and Chu Quan had some objections.

"I agree more with Jiang Qingliu and Gong Qiang. He is closer to the character." Screenwriter Chu Quan said.

"In terms of acting skills alone, Gong Qiang is better." Tong Qu said expressionlessly, "If it fits the role, it can be solved with persuasion."

"This means that Director Tong is leaning towards Gong Qiang?" Chu Quan asked.

"If nothing unexpected happens, it's Huang Baiyou." Tong Qu told Chu Quan a piece of news that amazed him.

"?" Whenever there is a question mark on Chu Quan's head, it proves that there is something wrong with the other party.

"Huang Baiyou was asked by a friend of mine to do something for me, and I want to repay the favor." Tong Qu's words didn't show any emotion. He was a person who was very good at hiding his emotions.

Lu Yi, who is equivalent to the third male lead, is a very central character. This friend owes a lot of favors, Chu Quan thought to himself.

The favor is indeed owed a lot, but without Xin Xiaoao's support, Tong Qu would have refused no matter what based on his performance in "Actors Please Take Your Place". With Lin Pingzhi's example before him, Tong Qu thought that he was well trained on the set and that would be enough.

The "no surprise" Tong Qu said meant that the audition later would not be too bad.

Screenwriter Chu Quan was hesitant to speak. Since there were already pre-determined actors, there was no need to audition Lu Yi, because even the male lead was decided by Tong Qu himself. According to the trust of the management, there was no need to go through the motions.

Seeing Chu Quan's expression, Tong Qu didn't hide it, "If there is a more suitable one, choose the more suitable one."

Understand, Chu Quan understands, if Gong Qiang or Jiang Qingliu auditions who can get 90 points, then for the quality of the movie, the director will choose quality, and let's talk about favors. But just now the two auditioned at a level of 70 or 80, so Tong Qu decided to return the favor.

Thinking about it carefully, Tong Qu still had half a sentence he was holding back. He had to hold an audition to make sure that Huang Baiyou's performance could get 50 points. What if Lin Pingzhi was the result of a nerve knife? He couldn't teach it if he was too bad, so the audition was a win-win for him, and he won twice.

"Teacher Chu, I want to help you carefully examine it." Tong Qu said out loud, and then asked the hotel staff to call in the next auditionee.

Huang Baiyou walked into the room. The conference room of the Hilton Hotel had been slightly renovated. The seats were no longer arranged in an "o" arrangement, but in a "c" arrangement.

You can tell at a glance who is the leader in the room. Although Tong Qu and Chu Quan are both sitting in the middle, Tong Qu sits on the most prominent arc of c, while Chu Quan is almost pushed to the side.

A brief explanation of this "squeezing" is that Tong's sitting posture is wide open and closed. Coupled with the nubuck leather, he is also dressed in black, giving him a very bossy attitude.

On the contrary, Chu Quan is obviously stronger than the director, but his posture and seat position also seem to be squeezed.

Huang Baiyou has a very strong character and is a pragmatist. Huang Baiyou made a little judgment and understood that there is no need to use fancy rhetoric to communicate with him.

"Thank you, Director Tong and Teacher Chu, for giving me this opportunity to audition." Huang Baiyou thanked him first.

"Yeah." Tong Qu didn't deny it.

Screenwriter Chu Quan said, "So Bai You, what do you think of the character Lu Yi?"

Why don't Gong Qiang and Jiang Qingliu talk about their roles? Because Tong Qu believed that the two of them had the ability to understand the script and the characters.

"When I saw the character Lu Yi, I first thought of "The Myth of Sisyphus". The words thrown out at the beginning of the book show that there is only one truly serious philosophical issue, and that is suicide. For Lu Yi, he has been suffering from chronic The leukemia started and that problem was right in front of him.”

I am sure that there is Camus in the parallel world, and Huang Baiyou would say this. It is equivalent to the first question assigned by the examiner, and you must answer it seriously.

Chu Quan waited for the follow-up and quoted famous quotes at the beginning. He also had this habit in writing articles before.

"Lv Yi's attitude towards committing suicide changed due to the birth of new life. He wanted to hear "Dad" and became the motivation to live. One thing must be explained. His wanting to commit suicide did not mean that he did not want to live...

"It's very contradictory, but not contradictory. Leukemia patients wear masks to reduce the probability of infection, but Lu Yi wears three layers, and he also has vitamin-rich and cheap oranges, which are all distinctive character symbols.

"He begged Cheng De in a flattering manner in the hope of getting cheaper counterfeit drugs, and took the initiative to help expand sales and find the group owner of the patient group. Lu Yi worked very hard to live longer.

"The two are irreconcilable contradictions between struggling to live and simply committing suicide. The more he loves life and the more he looks forward to the future, the more he reveals the absurdity of the world. At the same time, it is in line with the tragic aesthetics of realist themes. In order to achieve the purpose of allowing the audience to gain inspiration and self-transcendence. From this structure, the death of Lu Yi is necessary and has nothing to do with the will of the character."
