Chapter 428 Prince Jing’s audition, the performance exceeded expectations
In the audition room.
Wang Kai's agent accompanied him in, carrying a huge bag of drinks with his assistant: "I came in a hurry, so I brought some drinks for everyone. I won't disturb the directors' auditions now. Please watch our Wang Kai."
After the agent finished his polite greetings, he exited the activity room.
Fang Xing sat back and glanced at the monitor in front of the assistant director: "Are you ready?"
The audition video will be recorded, and sometimes if the actor is not finalized on the spot, we will go back and watch the audition video again for consideration.
The assistant director clicked on the monitor a few times, nodded and replied, "That's it."
Since it is an audition video, there is no need to consider the camera language. There is only one camera position and it only needs to be able to clearly capture the audition actors.
"Then let's get started." Fang Xing looked at Wang Kai, meaning to ask him if he was ready.
"Okay." Wang Kai stood up straighter and nodded in response.
"Have you read the script?" Fang Xing picked up the script and turned to the next few pages.
"I've finished reading." Wang Kai nodded and replied.
"Nowadays, people in the actor circle say that I am auditioning for Yama, and the requirements are ridiculously high." Fang Xing joked first.
All the crew members present were holding back their laughter.
In fact, the reason why Fang Xing's audition requirements are becoming more and more demanding is because the dramas he is filming are becoming more and more difficult.
When filming "The Beginning", the requirements for auditions were actually not that high.
Because the actors who need to show off their acting skills in "The Beginning" are basically veterans of the National Theater, especially the "Pot Aunt" teacher Liu Lanying, the quality of the auditions is already high enough, and there is no need to raise the requirements.
As for the young actors in "The Beginning", there are no requirements for acting skills, as long as they can act well.
It was no longer possible when it came to "Hurry Up". Almost every role required extraordinary acting skills. Without some acting skills, it would be impossible to film in this drama.
It was also because during the casting process for "Kurst", the auditioned actors who were eliminated were able to form a battalion, which led to Fang Xing's nickname of "Audition Yan Luo" starting to spread in the actor circle.
There is another reason why it is spread like this.
That is, the other director of "Cyclone" is veteran police drama director Zhou Jitao.
Some actors auditioned, and Zhou Jitao, a veteran director, thought they were OK, but when they came to Fang Xing, they failed.
After this nickname came out, it became more and more evil.
However, the four dramas produced by Ark Culture are all extremely popular.
As long as you can star in Ark Culture's TV series, it's equivalent to becoming famous.
Therefore, even though Fang Xing is nicknamed "Audition Yama", there are still countless actors who want to audition.
"This is a joke in the circle." Wang Kai added casually.
"Actually, I'm really not that scary."
Fang Xing smiled heartily and continued: "We are all old acquaintances, so let's try a more difficult scene.
"That's it. After King Jing Xiao Jingyan became the crown prince, the villain Xia Jiang identified Mei Changsu in front of the emperor as Lin Shu, the major general of the rebel Red Flame Army.
"When King Jing Xiao Jingyan learned that Mei Changsu was his best friend, he fell into a state of shock, disbelief, and dare not recognize him."
When Wang Kai heard that he was going to audition for this scene, his whole expression froze.
For the character "Jing Wang Xiao Jingyan", this scene does not have many lines, but the performance is all about expression, which is more difficult than if there are many lines.
Since there are no lines and the performance needs to be on point, it all depends on facial expression changes.
Moreover, the inner drama of this scene "Prince Jing Xiao Jingyan" is very complicated.
First of all, "Prince Jing Xiao Jingyan" and "Lin Shu" are close friends who grew up together.
"Prince Jing Xiao Jingyan"'s biological mother "Concubine Jing" was once a medical girl in the Lin Mansion.
The relationship between two people is just like that of brothers.
However.
The Red Flame Army was falsely accused by Cheng Chen and massacred as rebels, and was completely wiped out in Meiling.
"Lin Shu", as the major general of the Red Flame Army, was lucky enough to survive, but he was poisoned by the cold fire and was completely changed beyond recognition.
In the next twelve years, "Lin Shu" plotted revenge under the name "Mei Changsu".
Because the Red Flame Army back then was regarded as rebels and destroyed.
This also means that "Lin Shu" is a remnant of the rebels.
Once the emperor knew that "Mei Changsu" was the "Lin Shu" of that year, then "Mei Changsu" would undoubtedly die.
The villain "Xia Jiang" identified "Mei Changsu" as "Lin Shu".
"Prince Jing Xiao Jingyan" should have been shocked and ecstatic when he learned that his best friend was not dead, but he had to deny that "Mei Changsu" was "Lin Shu" in front of the emperor.
Several emotions are intertwined, and you can imagine how difficult it is to perform well.
Wang Kai didn't expect that it would be the most difficult scene in the whole script right from the beginning. He couldn't help but complain in his heart: Sure enough, he didn't get the wrong nickname.
"Can we start?" Fang Xing said and handed over the script in his hand.
Wang Kai waved his hand and said: "No need for a script, I need five minutes."
Fang Xing nodded, then glanced at the assistant director aside and said, "Let's give him a scene."
Several executive directors and assistant directors in the crew are all a little bit addicted to drama, and occasionally play supporting roles in the crew.
Fang Xing and the assistant director stood up and walked to the middle of the venue.
after awhile.
Wang Kai raised his head and said, "That's it."
Fang Xing looked at the assistant director and motioned for him to start.
The assistant director immediately got into the mood, holding the script in one hand, raising his other hand to point at Fang Xing, and read the lines loudly: "He! He is the remnant of the Red Flame Army who conspired with the eldest son of the emperor and narrowly escaped, Chi Yan
Lin Shu, the son of the coach Lin Xie and the commander of the Red Feather Camp!"
Since the protagonist of this audition is Wang Kai, the monitor mainly captures Wang Kai.
As for the assistant director reading the lines from the script, it doesn't matter how weak his line skills are.
After reading this line, the expression on Wang Kai's face began to change. First, his eyes widened, showing an expression of disbelief.
In the understanding of "Prince Jing Xiao Jingyan", his best friend "Lin Shu" had already died in Meiling.
This also became a knot that he and the emperor could never untie.
However, now that I heard that "Lin Shu" was not dead, but "Mei Changsu" was in front of me, my first reaction should indeed be surprise.
Fang Xing stood nearby and kept staring at his expression, satisfied with the first change in his expression.
Immediately afterwards.
Wang Kai showed an expression of sudden realization on his face, but he quickly covered it up and continued to stare wide-eyed, maintaining a shocked expression.
Fang Xing saw the look of realization on his face and gave him a high score in his heart.
Because this expression of sudden realization is very spot on.
"Nirvana in Fire" has 54 episodes in total, and this scene is in episode 49, which is almost the finale.
In other words, "Mei Changsu" has assisted "Prince Jing Xiao Jingyan" all the way, from an unpopular prince to the crown prince step by step.
During this process, "Prince Jing Xiao Jingyan" discovered that "Mei Changsu" had many similarities with "Lin Shu".
After all, the two grew up together and were as close as brothers, so it was impossible for them not to have any feelings for each other.
However, the people around him helped "Mei Changsu" hide it from him, which caused him to occasionally have doubts, and in the end he would think it was a coincidence.
Now, the truth that "Mei Changsu" is "Lin Shu" was exposed by the villain "Xia Jiang" in the palace hall.
"Prince Jing Xiao Jingyan" finally understood why "Mei Changsu" has so many shadows of "Lin Shu".
Therefore, at this moment, there should indeed be an expression of "sudden realization".
However, the emperor cannot know this truth, otherwise "Mei Changsu" will undoubtedly die.
Therefore, after "Prince Jing Xiao Jingyan" suddenly realized this, he had to immediately hide his true inner emotions and help "Mei Changsu" cover up his identity.
Immediately afterwards.
It's "Mei Changsu's" turn.
Fang Xing smiled lightly and said, "Xia Shouzun, you really can't stop talking without surprising me."
Immediately afterwards, the assistant director changed his position and began to play the role of the emperor. He continued to play, staring at Wang Kai and probing: "Prince, what do you have to say to Xia Jiang's statement?"
Wang Kai looked at the assistant director, with a flash of nervousness in his eyes, and began to help cover it up: "Father, why do you ask this? You have watched Lin Shu grow up, don't you know him?"
