In the original version of "The Wandering Earth", the character "Liu Qi" was played as an impulsive, brainless, rebellious character who always wanted to die. He was responsible for the actions, and the relatives around him were responsible for the deaths.

This character is the most criticized by the audience.

However, the very scary thing is that the age of this character is 25 years old.

The 25-year-old rebellious giant baby seems to have no brains in what he does, but his lines say that he is a genius, and in the end he came up with the idea of ​​igniting Jupiter to save the earth.

And this character always shirks responsibility and puts all the blame on others.

My mother died and I blamed my father.

My grandfather passed away, and the captain of the 171-11 rescue team was blamed.

In short, if this character is analyzed carefully, he will be very annoying to the audience and his personality will be very fragmented.

In the first half, he was a rebellious baby, throwing tantrums and shirking responsibilities. In the end, he suddenly woke up, put his brain back together, and began to say that he was a genius.

This kind of character with a split personality is actually very unpleasant.

What's more, it's not easy for a 25-year-old child who grew up in a shelter to be so rebellious.

In contrast, the younger sister "Han Duoduo" appears to be much more sensible, because the age of "Han Duoduo" in the movie is 15 years old.

It is reasonable to be rebellious at the age of 15, but if you are still rebellious at the age of 25, there is really something wrong with you.

therefore.

When Fang Xing was writing the script, he made major changes to the character of "Liu Qi", trying to make the character less like a giant baby.

The character arc of "Liu Qi" is more reflected in protecting his sister "Han Duoduo".

In the end, the grandfather "Han Zi'ang" died to save his granddaughter "Han Duoduo", and solemnly entrusted "Han Duoduo" to "Liu Qi".

"Liu Qi" grew up and became strong because of this entrustment.

After writing the first draft of the script, Fang Xing handed the script to the company's screenwriting team for further polishing.

Good scripts are all made by hand. Even if it is the same script but different directors and actors, the films produced will be very different.

…

The third day after the first draft of the script was completed.

Casting auditions have also officially begun.

The first people to audition are the actors of "Liu Qi" and "Han Duoduo".

Because these two characters have a lot of roles, but young actors are required. The young actors' acting skills have not received enough experience and they are likely to collapse.

Therefore, we must first decide on the actors for these two roles, and then seize the time for training.

The day of the audition.

Fang Xing, Wang Yutao, the casting director, and two assistant directors sat behind the table and began the audition.

Invite the first actor to audition to come in.

At first glance, I thought he was quite tall and energetic, but he wore heavy makeup and dyed his hair yellow.

Wearing makeup to audition is a taboo for the strict crew.

Therefore, Fang Xing's first impression was not very good.

The actor came in and introduced himself: "Hello director, my name is Chen Zihao."

Wang Yutao pulled out his resume, handed it to Fang Xing, and said at the same time: "You need to remove your makeup before the audition."

As he spoke, he pointed to the bathroom in the audition room.

While taking off his makeup, the casting director leaned into Fang Xing's ear and introduced Chen Zihao:

"It was recommended by Yibo Entertainment. There was a drama previously produced by Yibo Entertainment. The script was pretty good. Our company invested in it and two of the company's actors also participated.

"So it was recommended by the partner company. It was difficult to recommend, so I invited him to audition."

Fang Xing had never seen this Chen Zihao before, so he asked casually: "Looking at the makeup, it looks like a Korean idol style. Are you sure he is an actor?"

The casting director replied: "Well, fans in the fandom now like this style. Artists who are not famous basically follow this route."

An assistant director came up and said, "This guy has a lot of fans. Last month, a sweet pet online drama was released. Director Fang should have seen it."

"Have I seen it?" Fang Xing was a little confused.

"Yes, the male protagonist in "The Prince of Magpie Bridge"." The casting director added helpfully.

Fang Xing raised his eyebrows. "The Prince of Magpie Bridge" was really popular last month, and the fans seemed to be crazy about it.

However, Fang Xing has never watched this drama, but he often sees its posters.

It's just that the actor on the poster and the person who came in just now...

"Is he playing the male lead? Why am I a little face-blind?" Fang Xing blinked, already beginning to doubt his own eyes.

Wang Yutao laughed and said: "With modern technology, I heard that he has fine-tuned it many times and even moved the mandible. Basically, every time he shoots a drama, it's like changing his head."

The assistant director joked: "There were a lot of his fans at the door just now. I guess that's why I brought makeup here. Idols basically don't dare to take off their makeup in front of fans, otherwise their image will be ruined."

While they were chatting, Chen Zihao washed his face and came out.

It is said to remove makeup, but in fact it is not very clean.

However, since we have asked for makeup removal and the actors have done it, there is no need to force it to a certain extent.

"Director, I'm ready." Chen Zihao returned to the audition position with a very respectful attitude.

As the saying goes, people should not be judged by their appearance. If your acting skills are good, other shortcomings can be ignored.

After all, no one in the world is 100% perfect, and the same goes for actors.

Fang Xing took out a page of script, handed it over and said, "Try this. You play a brother. Your grandfather just died to save your sister. Your sister is very sad. As a brother, you must learn to be strong and be strong."

Comfort my sister."

When Wang Yutao saw Fang Xing take out this page of script, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

This scene is the most difficult one for the character "Liu Qi".

Because the emotions in this scene are so complicated.

First of all, his grandfather "Han Zi'ang" who raised him passed away. "Liu Qi" was very sad, but he couldn't cry because he still had a younger sister "Han Duoduo" who needed to be taken care of.

After his grandfather passed away, he had to shoulder the responsibility of protecting and taking care of his sister.

Chen Zihao took the script, turned it over and started reading.

After watching it for a few minutes, he turned around and asked, "Is there anyone I can play with?"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It is normal to find someone to act as a co-star. Even if an actor has to learn to act without physical objects, it is not too much to ask for a co-star.

Especially when this scene is very difficult.

Fang Xing motioned to the assistant director next to him.

The assistant director stood up, walked to Chen Zihao, squatted down, and started crying: "Grandpa..."

It's just that calling out "Grandpa" makes people a little uncomfortable.

Because "Han Duoduo" in the script is a 15-year-old girl, the image of a younger sister.

The assistant director was a thick, rough guy with a bit of a belly. The word "Grandpa" made Chen Zihao pissed off.

"puff……"

Chen Zihao burst into laughter and couldn't hold it back any longer.

However, after he burst into laughter, he found that the four directors sitting in front of him were all looking at him expressionlessly.

He felt a little bad, so he quickly put away his smile and started to act: "Duoduo, get up quickly, we have to keep up with the team. Do you still remember what grandpa said? You must live, get up."

Watch him finish his performance.

Fang Xing really didn't know how to evaluate it, and even wondered if he hadn't started acting yet.

Because he just read the lines once, and there was no change in expression on his face at all.

In this scene, "Liu Qi" has very complicated emotions. First of all, he is sad, but because he has shouldered the responsibility, he cannot be sad and has to comfort his sister.

It is very difficult to express such multiple emotions.

However, Fang Xing saw no multiple emotions on his face at all, not even the emotion of sadness.

As for being strong, growth is even more impossible.

Fang Xing didn't want to talk anymore, he just lowered his head to turn over the script and make some notes.

The casting director has worked with Fang Xing on so many films and has a very vicious eye.

Fang Xing didn't even need to speak, he knew that this person really couldn't perform, and how he became so popular was bizarre.

The casting director said in a formulaic manner: "Okay, thank you for the audition. You can go back. After the audition results are available, we will contact you via text message. Thank you."

Chen Zihao bowed and exited the audition room.

As soon as he left the audition room, he immediately called the makeup artist to the bathroom to reapply his makeup.
