Chapter 103 Audition for Guild Wars
The next day, Shudian Film and Television City.
Zhao Cheng arrived at the audition site two hours in advance because he had to leave some time to take pre-made makeup photos.
He had watched the film "Fierce War" in his previous life. Although he did not participate in the filming, it was obvious that the location of the selection was not in Shudian Film and Television City.
So he searched curiously.
Then I found out that the crew stayed in Shudian Film and Television City to select actors, and it has been selected for a month since the news was released.
Combined with the hotly discussed websites in the previous website, it is easy to find a problem.
The director of "Fighting War" is a very picky person.
The audition for this second male lead is probably not that easy to pass.
"Zhao Cheng? Well, sign in on it." A staff member recognized Zhao Cheng, who had not taken off his hat and mask.
"OK."
The set was very quiet. When everyone heard their conversation, they turned around and found that Zhao Cheng was alone, with neither assistant nor agent. At first glance, he knew that he was a wild star who became a monk halfway through.
Although Zhao Cheng is very popular with the audience, this does not mean that he is welcome here.
No one greeted him, and some people could see obvious provocation in their eyes. After all, they are now in a competitive relationship, and Zhao Cheng is a big hit.
At the same time, Zhao Cheng also looked at them sitting and waiting.
There are currently 4 actors who arrived at the scene.
There were at least two people around each actor, and some even brought personal stylists. Compared to them, Zhao Cheng looked a little thin.
They were as if they had agreed, and suddenly they chatted with their respective staff.
Zhao Cheng, who had no chat partner, naturally left the order.
But there was nothing to be at a loss. Anyway, he had long been used to this set in the entertainment industry, so he just found a seat to sit down and devoted himself to the audition script.
There are two plots with different scenes in the script.
First, the first scene is at the construction site at lunch.
The second male lead who was in the family worked hard on the construction site for a whole morning for life. Finally, he had a short rest time for lunch. He sat with his colleagues on the wheels of the excavator and was grilling rice with his lunch boxes.
As they were eating, the contractor suddenly came over to arrange the second male lead’s job later.
After the contractor left, the coworker around him kindly told the second male lead that this guy had swallowed half of his wages, and should not be kept in the dark as a fool, and argued with reason.
The second male lead thanked the coworkers for their advice, and then lowered his head to continue eating.
This plot is very short, and it only takes 1 minute to finish all the lines, which looks very simple.
However, because the plot is simple, the difficulty of the performance is increased, there are no strong emotional ups and downs, and there are no major physical movements, which has great limitations on the actor's camera expression.
Moreover, Yu Jiang had no intention of talking to the actors. After seeing the crowd, he greeted everyone politely, and then returned to the front of the camera expressionlessly again.
The assistant director is more enthusiastic.
In this scene, the script sets the dress for the second male lead, wearing a cheap, slightly dirty solid-colored white T-shirt on the upper body, ripped jeans stained with stains on the lower body, and a white towel on the neck to absorb sweat.
The six audition actors, including Zhao Cheng, all changed into the clothes prepared by the crew.
People with dark skin are more in line with the second male lead at this stage.
As for white, it is more troublesome. For example, Zhao Cheng also needs to ask the makeup artist to turn black before taking a final makeup photo.
At this time, the deputy director saw that everyone was about the same preparation and said, "Everyone here has participated in film works. I believe everyone knows how important 'reality' is in the movie."
"Even when it comes to audition, we want to see your understanding of 'reality', so the crew has prepared fresh props and lunches, which are ordered in the morning, so eat with confidence." The deputy director smiled and pointed at the lunches on the table.
When several actors on the scene heard this, their faces changed.
The lunch box I ordered in the morning will definitely be cooler now, and the rice will be hard and difficult to swallow when it cools down.
An agent first stepped forward and smiled and said, "Director, I'm sorry, my Awen has been a concert guest for a while and has strict intake requirements for diet. I want to ask, can he eat fake food? He has good acting skills, and even if he eats fake food, he can still perform the real food."
"No." The assistant director's smile was still on his face, but his attitude was firm.
Because "Fierce Battle" is a passionate action-themed movie, there are many frontal scenes in the boxing and fighting, and there is no way to find a substitute, and the actors need to take part in person.
If the boxing movements are not in place, it will give people a very fake feeling.
Therefore, actors need to undergo a period of strict special training before they can take the stage to shoot.
During boxing special training, you are likely to be beaten or even injured.
If an actor cannot even meet the simple requirement of eating, don’t expect him to survive special training. Eating a cold lunch box is the easiest way to screen for delicate actors.
Even if the assistant director wants to find the second male lead, he will not lower his requirements because of this.
"That's okay. My Awen is also a very hard-working person. Even when adjusting his voice, he can still complete this audition."
When the agent saw the deputy director refuse, he immediately changed the subject wisely and mentioned that his artists can endure hardships.
After all, Yu Jiang was sitting there watching.
Even if I miss the role of the second male lead alone, I still have the next chance. In short, I must not leave a bad impression on a director like Yu Jiang who is a little famous.
The assistant director nodded with satisfaction and asked, "Who else has any questions?"
Everyone waved their hands unanimously. With the example of rejection just now, they became fine even if they had any problems.
So the deputy director turned around and made a ok gesture to Yu Jiang.
The audition officially begins.
In the order of playing, everyone tacitly sorted according to the industry rules and each person's qualifications. The first audition with the longest debut was the first audition, and the final appearance was naturally left to Zhao Cheng.
Zhao Cheng himself has no objection, so he can see how the people in front of him act.
I have to say that some of the actors who were notified to audition were very hype, but they still had some foundation.
Everyone interprets the second male lead who was once a rich child but has now become a construction site brick mover based on their own understanding.
Except for one of the young actors who are used to acting in idol dramas, who expresses a little exaggeratedly, everyone else is doing it well.
Looking at Yu Jiang's expression, he didn't seem to be particularly disgusted, so he should be quite satisfied.
"Teacher Zhao Cheng, it's your turn next. Please be mentally prepared."
