Chapter 389 Audition for Film School Professor
Since the rise of the idol era, the celebrities in the entertainment industry have become increasingly androgynous in their makeup, looks, and their skin color has become increasingly paler.
Not only celebrities, but also models with 18th line acupoints, their skin color is getting whiter and whiter, and they have to go to the hospital regularly for whitening injections.
This also makes the aesthetics more and more deformed.
However, this kind of deformed aesthetic will never make it to the big screen.
The image on the big screen and the pores on the face can be seen clearly.
It is in sharp contrast to the distorted filters of the sweet pet web drama.
Film and television companies have used countless examples to prove that popular stars cannot carry the box office, even if they are top celebrities.
Even if you are labeled as a traffic star, your box office appeal will plummet.
Fang Xing usually doesn't control his skin color abnormally. When he goes for a morning run, he doesn't put on sunscreen. He tries to keep his skin color in the most natural state.
If you have ambitions to appear on the big screen, it is best not to be labeled as a traffic star.
Zhou Jitao pinched his chin, looked at Fang Xing again, and considered: "I have watched all the movies you have performed, and the acting itself is no problem, but from "Wulin Gaiden" to "The Pretender", you are always trying to be cool.
In fact, this acting routine cannot reflect real acting skills, but you did a good job."
In fact, during this period of time, Fang Xing was already interested in losing weight.
Because Xu Zhiwen asked students to come out to audition with him, and they were not randomly selected.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Zhiwen's performance also began, and he began to fiddle with the non-existent "fish tank" with the non-existent "net bag": "This is Datou River, this is what you buy when making fish head soup. This is grass carp,
If you want to steam it, buy this one. Do you want to make soup or steam it?"
Whether the male protagonist looks more handsome or more ordinary is not a big problem, as long as the character he portrays is not out of place.
Therefore, the two students named by Xu Zhiwen both have relatively good acting talents.
"Then let's get started."
However, not all actors accept gaining or losing weight.
"Do you have any ideas about the choice of the second male villain?" Zhou Jitao asked.
After a brief chat, the A-list actor showed a certain interest in the script and tried out a scene on set.
Therefore, a large group of students gathered around: "Hello, Director Zhou, hello Director Fang. Teacher Xu, are the two directors here to act with you?"
At this time, using micro-expressions to perform psychological emotions can be clearly captured by the audience.
"If you like the director's songs, what do you like?" Fang Xing joked.
Xu Zhiwen waved his hand quickly: "It's just that we have a script to talk about, but that's not necessarily the case."
I guess this A-list actor doesn't even want to talk.
Classes are taking place in the classroom.
The big screen is different.
Fang Xing turned to a page of the script, handed it to Xu Zhiwen, and said: "Try this scene again. You did something illegal. When you went home, you met your friend and the police. You felt guilty, but
We can’t show it in front of the police.”
The girl who was helping with the scene quickly bowed and asked: "Director, can you comment on my performance?"
"Click!"
Fang Xing still pursues performance, so he tries his best to maintain his image at a standard suitable for the big screen.
"How about you audition for the male lead and I'll take a look." Zhou Jitao pointed to the floor in front of the table.
"How...how much?"
Zhou Jitao knows many people in the film and television industry, so he can contact many powerful actors.
Xu Zhiwen reached out and grabbed the empty table next to him, picked up a non-existent "net bag" and asked: "Which one should I buy?"
It's not that this first-line actor is not good at acting, but he comes from a relatively good background and has never experienced low-class life, so his performance still lacks the atmosphere of low-class life.
Because the big screen is so big, when a close-up shot appears, the entire face is stretched to ten meters wide and displayed on the screen, and all the pores are clearly visible.
The requirements for TV dramas are usually not that high.
"Of course, as long as Teacher Xu doesn't mind." Of course, Zhou Jitao can do anything. There are people watching from the sidelines, which sometimes puts more pressure on the actors, but can stimulate more potential.
Now, Fang Xing weighs around 137 pounds, which is already lower than the standard weight for men of 180cm. He is considered thin.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, the bell rang for the end of get out of class.
"It's good to capture the characteristics of the fish stalls in the wet market." Zhou Jitao praised again.
Students began to come out of the classroom one after another.
Unless it's a comedy, if the actors make big expressions, it will look very exaggerated.
After talking about the male protagonist, the two began to talk about another important role.
At half past three, the two of them arrived at Donghai Film Academy and came to the door of a classroom in the teaching building.
"No money, just take it." Xu Zhiwen waved his hand and did not accept the money.
This section was completely improvised by two people, without a script.
Moreover, the image of a popular star itself is an obstacle for actors to shape their characters.
Fang Xing could tell that this girl was putting in her best effort in her performance.
In other words, this scene must be performed using micro-expressions.
Fang Xing and Zhou Jitao took their seats.
Xu Zhiwen took the script, lowered his head and read it carefully. After a few minutes, he raised his head and replied: "Okay."
However, people appear fatter on the screen than in reality.
Micro-expression performance is also the most necessary performance skill for the big screen.
"Thank you for the compliment, Director Zhou." Fang Xing agreed cheerfully.
In this anti-gang drama, every villain needs acting skills.
Zhou Jitao clapped his hands and said, "Fang Xing, you are actually suitable for acting in dramas. Although comedies also require high acting skills, you can act."
Fang Xing himself is very well-known, so it is normal for him to be recognized.
"Have you ever seen an aquatic product stall?" Fang Xing asked again.
"I don't know, I haven't bought it." The girl took a half step back, as if she was afraid of being splashed by water.
Some fruits and drinks were sent.
Immediately afterwards, a student suggested: "Teacher Xu, do you want to audition? We are most afraid of auditions and want to audition the most. Why don't Teacher Xu audition here? Give us a demonstration."
"Lose another ten pounds. If you lose another ten pounds and put on makeup, you will feel embarrassed. Is it within your acceptable range to lose weight for the show?" Zhou Jitao suggested.
Another student came up to Fang Xing and said in surprise: "Director Fang, I really like your songs. I can sing every one of them."
That's why Zhou Jitao asked.
"My grandma has a cat that doesn't like to eat cat food, but likes to eat fish," the girl replied.
Fang Xing stared at the expression on his face.
"Then you play the owner of an aquatic product stall, can you express yourself freely?" Fang Xing asked.
However, the anti-gang drama that Fang Xing is planning to shoot this time has strict requirements on acting skills, and the actors he is looking for are all absolutely capable.
Xu Zhiwen deserves to be a professor at the film school. Not to mention his performance, the psychological changes were directly reflected on his face during the audition.
"Thank you, Director Zhou." The girl bowed again and returned to her seat with satisfaction.
"Of course, my wife likes to eat fish." Xu Zhiwen replied.
We were on a visit to the team, and they were all talking about the anti-gang drama that we were preparing.
Talking about the casting of the male protagonist.
Fang Xing took out the script, turned to a page, and asked, "Professor Xu, do you usually go to the wet market to buy vegetables?"
"I'll take the guesswork out of it. If I can't find someone more suitable, I'll do it myself." Fang Xing thought so at first, and he had already started to lose weight.
"Okay, okay, sorry, I was in class just now, have you been waiting for a long time?" Xu Zhiwen answered cheerfully.
Xu Zhiwen nodded and replied: "I bought it."
Therefore, if Fang Xing wants to play the male lead in this anti-gang drama, he does need to continue to lose weight. He doesn't need to lose ten pounds, but probably seven or eight pounds.
"Okay. This female classmate's performance is still okay. She should be acting in her true colors. She should have been to the vegetable market, but not often." Zhou Jitao commented.
Xu Zhiwen even packed a bag of "fish gills" for the "customers".
Xu Zhiwen thought that since he was a teacher, teaching auditions was actually a course in the film school, so he looked at Zhou Jitao and asked: "Is it okay in the classroom?"
Usually idol dramas and sweet pet dramas do not require this level of acting skills.
