This star’s style is wrong - Chapter 696

c696 Audition, an actor who can think is a good actor

After auditioning as a trainee from several idol groups, Fang Xing felt a little unmotivated.

Mainly because this group of trainees feels inexplicably greasy.

He was obviously just a boy of twelve or thirteen years old, but when he introduced himself, he would add various gestures, movements, and even a few winks. If the other person was not really underage, Fang Xing might actually curse a few words.

However, Fang Xing understood that fans really liked this set.

However, this very formulaic way of posing and self-introduction is really very different from movies and TV shows.

Fang Xing even hoped that they would just stand there blankly and stop making any pretense.

However, this kind of request cannot be made. Auditions are here to find actors, not to teach them how to act.

If you want to learn acting, you should go to an acting teacher instead of coming to a theater crew.

After meeting five or six trainees, Fang Xing looked at the time and saw that it was already twelve o’clock.

“How about eating first.”

Fang Xing wanted to clear his mind and planned to make dinner arrangements first.

Wang Yutao was also a little speechless. Although the entertainment company’s purpose of cultivating idols is to win over fans, and it is true that they are not the counterpart of actors, it is more uncomfortable to not have any of them who are even remotely watchable.

Without even needing to compare, Wang Yutao was able to pass all the trainees in the first five auditions.

At this moment.

The staff member who called the number came in and asked: “Director, there is a young actor outside. He has been waiting for half an hour. Do you want to finish the audition? Or should you let him go back first?”

School has started now.

Young actors at this age are basically in junior high school.

If you want to take classes, time is actually quite tight.

Although many child stars who debuted at this age in the entertainment industry rarely go to school, they can still enter art schools with a score of 300 or 400 points in cultural courses.

If one’s family was better off, it would be easier to spend money to go to a foreign music conservatory or the like.

However, as an adult, Fang Xing must make sure that they rush back to class as the audition standard.

Therefore, Fang Xing waved and said: “Then call me down. After the audition, let me go back to school.”

The staff went out to call the number, and Fang Xing looked at the assistant director aside and said, “Let’s go make arrangements for lunch. We will eat after the audition. The remaining actors will be arranged until the afternoon.”

The assistant director agreed and went out to make arrangements.

At this moment.

A boy of twelve or thirteen years old walked into the audition room, bowed and said hello: “Hello directors, my name is Rong Zijin. This is my resume.”

As he spoke, he came forward with his resume and handed it into the hands of Fang Xing and Wang Yutao.

Fang Xing took one look at his resume and was immediately interested.

Because among the past works written in my resume, there are two movies “Customs” and “Skylight Breaking the Clouds”.

Among them, “Customs” is relatively famous. It was nominated for many awards abroad and also won awards domestically.

Of course, he only played a small role in “The Customs” and only had one or two minutes of scenes.

The performance of this film has little to do with him.

However, the fact that “Customs and Culture” was able to win an award shows that the level of the director and crew is not low. The actors used by such a high-level director will definitely not be much different.

Therefore, for actors, it doesn’t matter whether they are starring or not. As long as there are award-winning films in their past works, that is their achievement.

Besides, this Rong Zijin still acted in movies.

There is a big difference between movie actors and TV drama actors, and the actors in award-winning movies can tell the story even more.

Fang Xing had not seen this resume before. If he had seen this resume earlier, he should have called for an audition first instead of auditioning a group of trainees.

Because Rong Zijin has acted in movies, and the movies he acted in were award-winning feature films.

So Fang Xing couldn’t help but become interested and looked at it carefully.

The boy looked about twelve or thirteen years old and was slowly entering puberty. A layer of hair had already appeared on his lips.

Boys of this age will grow rapidly once they enter puberty, and can grow 20 centimeters in two to three months.

Judging from his appearance, he has gradually entered the development stage.

Perhaps because I have acted in movies, I am more professional when it comes to being an actor, so I don’t wear makeup.

This is today’s audition, the first one without makeup.

The trainees in the front, even the most plain ones, are all wearing foundation.

I guess in their perception, as long as you don’t wear eye makeup, you are bare-faced.

Fang Xing asked casually: “Did you come here without makeup just for the audition?”

Rong Zijin shook his head and replied: “I don’t usually wear makeup.”

Fang Xing asked again: “What about when you’re acting?”

Rong Zijin replied: “The crew gave me makeup. In the previous films, I rarely used makeup, just to touch up my face.”

Realistic movies do tend to be very restrained when it comes to makeup, striving to make the characters appear realistic on the big screen.

Even if you want a more decadent look.

The director directly asked the actors not to wash their faces for three days and shoot directly without makeup. This kind of realism cannot be achieved with makeup.

As for grooming, I usually trim my eyebrows, cover my blemishes, and take care of my beard.

Most people’s eyebrows are uneven and need to be trimmed to make them clearer.

Fang Xing asked again: “Have you ever played a leading role?”

Rong Zijin shook his head and replied: “Not yet.”

Fang Xing thought about it and took out a page of the script and handed it over: “Then you try this scene. After your father got divorced, he married an aunt and gave birth to a younger sister. The younger sister fell down and died, and the younger mother thought it was you. The pusher will chase you on the street.”

This kind of scene is also a relatively difficult scene for the actor who plays the role of the little mother, because it requires a bit of madness.

Relatively speaking, in this scene, the role of Xiaoma attracts more attention from the audience, but “Zhu Chaoyang” must also be well-acted, otherwise the audience will easily be distracted.

Rong Zijin took the script and read it carefully.

After a while, he took the initiative and asked: “Then as my character, did I push my sister downstairs?”

When Fang Xing heard this question, he couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows, and immediately understood why he could act in movies.

Actors need to think, they don’t just act according to what the director says.

There is no difference between this kind of actor and a machine.

Actors must use their brains to perform, and actors who can ask questions are good actors.

If you don’t know how to ask questions, you have to wait for the director to see the problem and then teach you little by little. This kind of actor director will find it very tiring to use.

It would be okay if you were filming an idol drama, because the requirements for acting are not high.

However, for “The Hidden Corner”, all the actors who have been finalized are acting talents.

Among the actors who have been cast, one is Liu Ling, who played the eldest daughter of the Sheng family in “Do You Know”.

There is also Xu Zhiwen, who played Gao Qiqiang in “Hurry”.

With this kind of starring team, if someone who can’t act is put in, he will be very conspicuous.

Fang Xing likes actors who can think, so he put forward higher requirements: “You can think about it yourself, it can be recommended by you, or it can not be recommended by you, or you can see that it is recommended by your friends. If you join the group Yes, I might take pictures of all these situations.”

During the filming of film and television dramas, many possibilities will be arranged, and the final version will be determined during the final editing.

Therefore, an actor who can perform a variety of possibilities is a good actor.

When Rong Zijin heard this request, he felt that the acting requirements were higher than expected.

But he still nodded and replied: “I’ll give it a try.”

Fang Xing felt that the audition question was a bit difficult, so in order to reduce the difficulty, he took the initiative to ask the assistant director to come over and join in the scene.

The assistant director stood up and asked if he was ready. After receiving the answer, he immediately stepped forward and grabbed his arm, yelling: “Murder! You murderer!”

A look of panic suddenly appeared on Rong Zijin’s face, he pulled his hand back with force, and argued loudly: “It’s not me!”

“It’s you, you murderer!” The assistant director continued to chase him and hit him. Of course, he raised his hand high and lowered it gently, patting him on the shoulder.

Rong Zijin argued while hiding back: “I didn’t!”

Fang Xing kept paying attention to his expression, acting out an emotion of panic, innocence, and a little bit of anger.

This performance should be performed without pushing.

“Okay, let’s try another one.” Fang Xing continued.

The two returned to their original positions, and the assistant director rushed forward and pinched his arm, cursing: “Murderer! Did you push it? Do you think you pushed it?”

Rong Zijin’s expression became even more panicked, and he shook his hand away, breathing heavily, and stepped back: “It’s not me! It has nothing to do with me!”

This time his expression was a little more panicked and frightened, a little less innocent and lifeless, and he was trying hard to escape, looking a little guilty.

This time the performance should be pushed.

Later, Fang Xing asked him to perform it a third time, asking him to do it if he saw it was recommended by a friend.

This time, the effect of the performance was similar to the second time, and there was no obvious difference.

As for the second and third cases, when they are actually performed, the difference will not be too big.

At his age, it’s already very good for him to perform to this extent.

After Fang Xing read it, he nodded and said, “Not bad, let’s add another question. Your father suspected that you pushed your sister downstairs and used a recorder to trick you while they were having dinner. You found the recording in your father’s bag. The mood changed from happy to sad.”

After reading the script, Rong Zijin thought for a moment, walked to the table, picked up a mineral water bottle, took a look at it, and then quickly put it back on the table. The expression on his face changed from a smile at the beginning to sadness, and at the same time, A bit annoyed.

“Okay, very good. Thanks for the audition. Let’s go back to class first. The crew will have the results within three days.” Fang Xing clapped his hands twice.

Wang Yutao is also very satisfied, and he is the most satisfied among so many “Zhu Chaoyang” auditions.

Moreover, this Rong Zijin has also acted in movies, and the movies he acted in are award-winning movies.

Of course, he wasn’t the one to win the award, but that’s not the point.

At the age of thirteen, being able to act in movies already shows that his acting talent is very good.

Wang Yutao didn’t want to miss such a good actor, so he quickly got up and asked: “It’s almost one o’clock, have you eaten? Do you want to eat with us? We are about to have dinner. If you have classes in the afternoon, you can eat here and go to school.”

Rong Zijin scratched his head and said, “I have to go out and ask my mother.”

He did not sign with an agency, and his mother was considered his agent.

At this age, if you want to focus on studies, it will indeed be a lot of trouble to sign with a company.

Because the brokerage company wants to make money, although from a legal perspective, the brokerage company cannot organize its artists to go to school.

However, when it is actually implemented, it is not so strict.

“Okay, go out and ask, and ask your mother to come and have dinner with us. We are eating box lunches, if you don’t mind.” Wang Yutao said with a smile.

Rong Zijin did not expect to be retained by the director. This situation is rare.

He felt that the audition might have been successful, so he ran out happily, hugged his mother when he got outside the door, and said, “The director seemed very satisfied. They even asked me if I wanted to stay and have dinner with them.”

Mother Rong smiled and said, “The director is just being polite to you. You don’t understand the ways of the world, so take it seriously.”

Rong Zijin insisted: “I’m not being polite. Director Wang asked me personally, and I asked you to eat with us. Do we want to stay for dinner?”

Mother Rong was a very shrewd person and asked, “Is director Fang Xing here?”

Rong Zijin nodded vigorously: “Yes, he also said that I performed well in the audition.”

Rong’s mother originally did not plan to let her son act in a TV series.

Because acting in TV dramas takes too much time and affects my studies, and I don’t want to get a lot of improvement like in movies.

Rong’s mother’s original plan was for her son to focus on his studies. If there was a good opportunity, he would play small roles in a few movies to gain experience.

In the future, I will be admitted to the film school and my development will be smooth.

This time, the reason why she brought her son here for the audition was naturally because of Fang Xing.

Although “The Hidden Corner” is a TV series, Fang Xing is the producer. Being able to get this opportunity will be of great help to future development.

Hence this audition.

Rong’s mother also received a recommendation from a friend the day before yesterday and submitted her resume after considering it for a day.

She pulled her son inside and said, “Go in first and say hello to the director.”

The crew has set the table for lunch.

Several dishes have been placed on the table.

I had a box lunch, but I also added some meat, vegetables and soup.

Mother Rong pulled her son in and said hello: “Hello, Director Fang, Hello Director Wang, I am Rong Zijin’s mother.”

Fang Xing quickly stretched out his hand to shake hands: “Hello, Mama Rong.”

Rong’s mother continued: “Director Fang, my son Jin really likes your movies and TV series, and also listens to your songs every day.”

“Thank you, thank you.” Fang Xing quickly said politely.

Rong Zijin pulled his mother from behind, feeling that her mother talked too much.

Wang Yutao came over and said, “Why don’t we have dinner together? Today’s audition took too long and it’s almost one o’clock. If Xiao Rong still has classes, I’m worried that you won’t have time to go back for dinner.”

When Rong’s mother heard this, she immediately smiled and began to praise her son from various angles: “If this is the case, we will not be polite. This child Zijin has very good academic performance and has always been in the top class in school. .”

“You’re welcome. I’ll ask people to order two more dishes. What would you like to eat?” Wang Yutao called the crew over and arranged to order two more dishes.

Rong’s mother is also a shrewd person. After seeing the battle, she already knew that the audition was basically successful.

People at the table were chatting while eating.

Wang Yutao asked: “Xiao Rong’s schedule and so on, should there be no problem, right?”

Rong’s mother replied in a hearty voice: “I didn’t take any other jobs. I was originally concentrating on school. If a friend hadn’t recommended our crew and kept emphasizing that the crew was good, I would have brought him here to audition.”

Wang Yutao began to promise: “Rong’s mother, don’t worry, we will definitely arrange the shooting time and try not to affect Xiao Rong’s studies.”

Now that the topic has been discussed, this role is basically decided.

Rong’s mother was also very straightforward and started asking about the details of the contract, especially in terms of the shooting duration and so on. She asked very detailed questions.

Wang Yutao answered one by one and tried his best to meet their requirements.
