Walking into the audition room, Jiang Xiao immediately saw Gu Changwei behind a row of makeshift tables. This famous domestic photographer, whose masterpieces include "Red Sorghum", "Farewell My Concubine" and "Sunny Days"
I haven’t seen it, but I should have heard of it.
There were three other middle-aged men of different ages, sitting side by side with Gu Changwei. They were probably the main creative staff of the "Peacock" film project, and they had the right to speak.
Then there was a camera placed nearby, and a staff member was responsible for controlling it, presumably to record the entire audition process.
This is of course not surprising, as it is a process in the audition itself.
Regarding this, Jiang Xiao, who glanced at him, didn't hesitate much, walked straight to a suitable position, leaned down slightly, and calmly said hello: "Hello, Director Gu, hello teachers."
"Hello, Jiang Xiao, right?"
Gu Changwei, who nodded, immediately started to murmur in his heart.
Because it was his first time as a director, he was particularly attentive, such as the recruitment of actors, participating in the entire process and controlling everything at all times.
He was naturally impressed by the person named Jiang Xiao, especially his appearance, which was regarded as the best among all the audition actors.
It was for this reason that even if the other party was not very satisfactory in other aspects, he still gave him a chance for the final test.
If this person is smart enough, after half a month, as long as he can see his efforts, there is hope that the role will fall on Jiang Xiao.
And now, what should this person... say?
It seemed a bit far beyond Gu Changwei's previous expectations.
If it weren't for the fact that the other person's appearance had not changed at all, he would have doubted whether this was still the same person as before.
It's really strange. It's only been half a month. Is there such a big change?
Not even a little bit of restraint or nervousness can be seen anymore. That calm and indifferent look is something that many famous actors may not have.
Not to mention, Jiang Xiao's temperament seems to have changed a lot.
Originally, I called him in first because he was the last among all the candidate actors.
But right now...
Jiang Xiao, who was standing in the middle, naturally didn't know Gu Changwei's psychological activities, so he still nodded calmly and said, "Yes, I am Jiang Xiao."
"Okay, today's audition is like this. I, or the other three teachers, will come up with questions at will, and then you will perform, do you understand?"
Gu Changwei regained his composure and quickly started walking according to the normal procedure.
As for whether Jiang Xiao has changed a lot, this is not a factor that directly affects the decision. It can add points, but the result still depends on the opponent's performance.
"clear."
Jiang Xiao nodded.
"Well, the character Gao Weiqiang is introverted and silent, but has a rich heart. I hope you can show this character without having to do other performances."
"Then I'll give you three minutes to prepare your emotions. When you're ready, just say it and it'll officially start. Do you understand?"
This question is relatively difficult for Gu Changwei. Now let's see if Jiang Xiao, who seems to have changed into a different person, can continue to surprise him.
"Got it!"
Jiang Xiao nodded again and did not pretend to refuse the preparation time.
He quickly glanced left and right, and after taking a look at the camera position, he came to the right side and leaned against the wall.
It's not like leaning back, but leaning forward slightly, lowering your head slightly and looking at the ground squinting to the left.
Finally, both hands were put into his trouser pockets respectively.
At the same time, Gu Changwei, who was watching all this, had an additional understanding of Jiang Xiao. He really knew how to find the camera. It was not like a newcomer could do it casually. This person...
Are you born with a sense of camera?
Then you didn't find that the other party had such a talent last time?
"Director Gu, is my alumnus a good one? His image has already been revealed just now. I don't think I even need to try. He is indeed from a major."
At a certain moment, Gu Changwei heard such soft words again. It was Li Qiang, the screenwriter of "Peacock". It seemed that the other person also spoke highly of Jiang Xiao.
In fact, he almost felt the same way, and his heart began to tilt towards Jiang Xiao.
But he was still prepared to watch the other party's performance again, so he responded to Li Qiang in the same low voice: "It's really good. Let's see how his emotions show up."
In addition, Gu Changwei really wanted to tell Li Qiang that the first two auditions of your schoolmate were not like this, but the current facts could not be denied, so he finally kept it in his heart.
"I'm ready to start at any time."
Li Qiang, who was about to respond, heard Jiang Xiao's voice before he could say anything. He finally gave up on responding and looked at the latter with further expectation.
"Okay, let's start!"
Gu Changwei, who wasted no time, also nodded immediately.
Seeing this, Jiang Xiao, who was not responding, immediately recited "Smart Eyes" silently in his mind. Combined with the small movements of raising his head slightly and the slight frown expression, he focused on the sofa diagonally opposite, glanced at it, and then
Quickly lower your head again.
The whole body is still a little bit energetic, thus showing the stubbornness in his heart.
After all, I have been in this industry for more than ten years. Even though my acting skills have not become very good due to personal reasons, I still have a lot of acting experience and know how to portray characters.
Then, not knowing whether it was because of a complete change in his mentality, Jiang Xiao discovered that his performance was less profound than in his memory, and it seemed to become natural all of a sudden.
By the way, he realized that maybe this is the real way to open up the performance.
Not to mention these, Jiang Xiao ended his performance almost ten seconds later, returned to his calm appearance, and returned to his previous position.
He said nothing, bowed slightly to indicate, and then waited for the result.
"Jiang Xiao, the performance was good. Let's go back and wait for notification. The results will be given to you tomorrow at the latest."
"Okay, Director Gu, and all the teachers, thank you!"
Although Gu Changwei did not express his position on the spot, Jiang Xiao still picked up some meaning from the other party's words, and felt that he should be almost certain to get the role.
If not, just saying "go back and wait for notification" is enough to dismiss him. Then you can specifically tell him that the results will be available tomorrow.
Even if this was not a hint, he still believed that Gu Changwei had revealed some information unknowingly.
When these thoughts flashed through his mind, Jiang Xiao did not hesitate and quickly left the audition room.
As for the people in the room who were left behind, almost the moment Jiang Xiao disappeared, screenwriter Li Qiang was the first to couldn't help but sigh: "Tsk, Director Gu, the look in Jiang Xiao's eyes just now was really..."
…………
"Jiang Xiao, are you so fast? It only took a few minutes."
"Well, it's pretty fast."
Because he had left his mask in the waiting room before, Jiang Xiao, who had finished his audition, came over to pick up the mask before leaving. But as soon as they walked in, Zhang Jingchu came without saying anything. Such a sentence could easily cause "ambiguity".
"You're so quick, it only took a few minutes."
Listen, what he said seemed a bit unpleasant, but he couldn't refute it and had to admit it face to face.
It can be said that he was driving under suspicion, but there was no evidence, and that’s probably what it meant.
"Did it pass?"
Naturally, Zhang Jingchu could not guess that there was a person with future thoughts. Zhang Jingchu, who was misinterpreting her words for no reason, quickly continued to curiously ask Jiang Xiaodao.
"I don't know yet, I'm just waiting for notification."
Jiang Xiao shrugged lightly and told Zhang Jingchu the result truthfully.
Of course, his own guesses naturally don't count, and he can't talk nonsense. Nothing is absolute, and he can easily be slapped in the face.
It doesn't matter if you don't get the role, it's not worth it if you get slapped in the face.
"Then I wish you good luck."
Zhang Jingchu, who often heard people waiting for notifications but never waited for notifications, could only feel sorry for Jiang Xiao in her heart.
I don’t know if she will also get the treatment of waiting for notification soon.
"Thank you, senior, for your blessing. I'm leaving. I'll see you again when I have the chance."
Putting on the mask, Jiang Xiao smiled softly and said goodbye to Zhang Jingchu immediately.
"Hey, wait a minute, let's leave each other's phone numbers!"
