Chapter 587(1/2)
Call Dad
Luo Mo Studio, outside the audition classroom.
Wen Hong looked at the child actors and adults around her, feeling a little nervous and uncomfortable.
She is not a particularly sociable person, so she sometimes feels that she has restricted the development of her son Wen Lin.
After all, she is a single mother and there is no man in the family. She always adheres to the principle of safety first no matter what she says or does.
And some experiences in recent years have made her gradually understand that men are very strange creatures.
She can only be considered delicate and dignified, not particularly beautiful, but just because she is a single mother, many people will be more interested in her.
While waiting, Wen Hong would glance at the door of the audition classroom from time to time.
"Luo Mo is inside." She thought in her heart.
After "Manslaughter" was completed, Luo Mo returned to China.
There was a round of casting yesterday, and the role of Pu Pu was chosen.
The casting went very smoothly, and I picked a little girl who looks very cute, has very smart acting skills, and has her own aura.
Luo Mo was very satisfied with her because her eyes were big enough to give people a feeling of pity. Her big eyes seemed to be able to speak.
In the play, there are many reasons why the little girl Pupu can make so many people willingly do things for her and contribute to her.
This character must be cute enough and look pitiable, so that it will be convincing in many aspects of performance and plot content.
And today's casting audition is the most important part of the whole drama - Zhu Chaoyang.
In this web drama on Earth, in terms of cast, the actor who plays Zhang Dongsheng is the same, but in fact, Zhu Chaoyang's role is no less, or even more, than Zhang Dongsheng's.
Wen Hong looked at the children and adults around her, and saw that some of these adults were more nervous than she was, and some looked arrogant as if they had a chance to win.
Most of the people here are parents of children.
Because the attitude of Luo Mo Studio is very clear, if you play this drama, you have to sign in to the studio, so child actors who have a powerful agency behind them are destined to miss out on it.
As Wen Hong sat there, she also noticed that the parent of a child was communicating with his son in a very strict and serious manner, or in other words, he was giving instructions.
This little boy, who was much more handsome than Wen Lin, said nothing, nodded frequently, clasped his little hands together, and lowered his head lower and lower.
"This is putting pressure on the child." Wen Hong thought to herself.
She glanced at Wen Lin, who was calm and composed, and asked softly: "Linlin, are you nervous?"
"Mom, I'm not nervous." Wen Lin said directly.
Wen Hong smiled. Her son had been like this since he was a child and never had stage fright.
On the contrary, he comforted Wen Hong, gently grabbed his mother's hand and said: "Don't be nervous, even if I don't choose, I will help you get an autograph from Brother Luo Mo. I know you don't
If you have the nerve to ask, I’ll take care of it!”
This made Wen Hong dumbfounded.
My son, I think, is young and mature, with a gloomy temperament. He doesn't like to play with his peers, but he is still lively and cheerful at home.
As time passed, one after another, the child actors were called by name and led by the staff to audition.
In the end, only mother and son Wen Hong and Wen Lin were left.
After there were fewer people, Wen Hong felt more at ease.
After about another fifteen minutes, the young actors from the previous group of auditions came out.
The adults following him looked excited, as if this role had been taken down and there was nothing else to do.
This surprised Wen Hong.
A small hand gently patted the back of her hand, and her son Wen Lin raised his head and said, "Mom, I think that uncle just did it on purpose."
"What's the reason..." Wen Hong quickly realized what her son meant.
This is the mentality of the people behind you!
She raised her finger and poked her son's forehead and said, "You think about problems and always think the worst about people. You need to change it! Do you understand?"
"Oh." Wen Lin responded obediently.
Wen Hong has always felt that her son has a dark underbelly and looks at things differently from ordinary children.
At this moment, a little girl wearing black-rimmed glasses came out with a data sheet and said softly: "Brother Wen Lin, it's your turn."
Wen Lin stood up immediately.
Wen Hong raised her hand to straighten his clothes, then took a deep breath, holding her calm son's little hand with a nervous look on her face, and walked into the audition classroom.
As soon as she walked in, her eyes lit up and she couldn't hide the excitement on her face.
Luo Mo looked at her expression. He was too familiar with this look and appearance.
"He's probably a Mosheng." He thought in his mind.
In the audition classroom, not only Luo Mo was present, but Xu Chujing was also present.
In addition to the two of them, there was also Ding Xiaoyu who was temporarily brought in to help with the scene.
Luo Mo looked at the little boy in front of him and felt that his temperament and image were quite suitable for the role of Zhu Chaoyang.
Seeing the young man growing up, he seems a bit lonely and gloomy.
Many children's eyes are very bright and lively, but he is not.
To be honest, Luo Mo is a little irritable now.
He had interviewed so many people before, and two of them were pretty good, but he still felt that his tone was always bad.
The role of Zhu Chaoyang is the most important role in the whole drama, and Luo Mo doesn't want to make do with just one person.
If none of these kids are good, he will continue to look for a needle in a haystack until he is satisfied.
"Wen Lin, are you ready? If so, let me give you a brief introduction to the play first?" Luo Mo said.
The little boy nodded to show that he was listening.
The scene Luo Mo auditioned today was a scene in the first episode that explained the character's family background and relationship.
Zhu Chaoyang grew up in a single-parent family. His parents divorced and he was raised by his mother.
His mother works in a scenic spot and is often away from home.
Now his father has made a fortune, has a good living condition, married a new wife, and given birth to a daughter.
Zhu Chaoyang's mother will not stop him from meeting his father. The scene he auditioned today is the scene where Zhu Chaoyang meets his biological father, Zhu Yongping, and his current wife, Wang Yao.
However, since it was a trial play and Ding Xiaoyu was invited today, Luo Mo did not follow the original play when describing the relationship between the characters.
Later he will personally play Zhu Chaoyang's father Zhu Yongping, Xu Chujing will play Wang Yao, and Ding Xiaoyu will play his half-sister Jingjing.
The relationship between the characters has also changed. Zhu Yongping was originally married to Wang Yao and had a daughter, Jingjing.
Then after the divorce, she got together with Zhou Chunhong and gave birth to Zhu Chaoyang.
But later they divorced and remarried Wang Yao.
Luo Mo didn't know if the little boy in front of him could digest so much so quickly while he was telling the drama.
But he gave each child the same amount of time to prepare, and when the time was up, the performance began.
At the beginning, Luo Mo got up first and acted with Wen Lin.
In this plot, Zhu Chaoyang went to his father Zhu Yongping with his report card, which ranked first in grade.
Zhu Yongping waited for him where he was playing cards with his friends, and then took him to the mall for shopping.
One of the reasons why he was playing cards was to show off his son's ambition in front of his friends, and the other was to use playing cards as an excuse to take Zhu Chaoyang to the pedestrian street for shopping without telling Wang Yao, and buy something to reward him.
But on the way, he received a call from Wang Yao. Wang Yao checked the post, called his poker friends, and found out that Zhu Yongping had taken Zhu Chaoyang to the pedestrian street.
She said on the phone: "You don't have to hide it from me when you take your son to the mall. Jingjing wants to buy a dress. Let's go there now."
This woman not only checks the post, she also comes to disrupt the situation.
"Wang Yao, like this..." Zhu Yongping wanted to say something else, but Wang Yao hung up the phone directly.
Luo Mo only briefly described these contents.
Right off the bat, Zhu Yongping takes Zhu Chaoyang to pick out shoes in a shopping mall.
Luo Mo sat directly next to Wen Lin, and then began to perform without physical objects, pretending to hold his son's old shoes that he took off and said: "Wow, what size shoes do you wear?"
"About 38." Wen Lin replied.
"Oh, your feet are so big!" he laughed.
Then, he began to talk about his childhood, saying: "When my father was in elementary school, he also had a pair of white shoes like this. At that time, they had worn them for several years and had become black. If he wanted to buy new ones and had no money to buy them, my grandfather would use the chalk.
Wipe it until it becomes pure white."
"Hey, it's like new."
"But it can't rain. Once it rains, everyone will be wet! White soup will flow all over the floor." He laughed and said.
