Chapter 17 Audition (Part 2)
There were several people sitting in the room. There was a long table in front of them. The area facing the long table was very empty. Chen Linfeng walked to that area and stood there.
Chen Linfeng recognized director Yu Shengming sitting in the middle, looking at the resume in his hand.
Sitting next to him were Cao Rong, Qian Yanqiu, and screenwriter Li whom he had met that day. Father Chen was also present, as well as several people who should be from the management.
Chen Linfeng didn't look any further and quietly waited for the arrangement.
There were several staff members standing next to the table, and one of them took out a page of paper and handed it over for him to look at first.
Chen Linfeng scanned it carefully. There was a conversation above.
Nezha revealed to Wukong the news that the Dragon King of Jinghe had not been reincarnated. However, because the Heavenly Court issued an order to block the news, Nezha could not say it directly, so he went around and around, all the time hinting at Wukong in his words.
It is somewhat different from the first version of the script that Chen Linfeng read, including the lines in the previous life. Screenwriter Li should have made changes.
Chen Linfeng quickly memorized it.
Sitting Chen Shantong coughed slightly, turned to the person next to him and said, "Brother Liu, it's not appropriate for me to ask questions at this time. How about you take over?"
Brother Liu nodded. , first motioned to the staff next to him to turn on the camera, and then cleared his throat, his voice as serious as possible, "Have you read all the contents on the paper?"
Dad Qingqing is the white-faced one mentioned by Shu Chang. people.
While thinking about something he didn’t want to do at all, Chen Linfeng replied, “I’ve finished reading it.”
“Now please think about the plot of this conversation.”
This time it was Qian Yanqiu's turn to cough, "This kid has read the script and has a good memory. He can probably memorize it. Teacher Liu, let's change the question."
Brother Liu was dumbfounded and was stuck for a moment. .
Yu Shengming, who was sitting in the middle, said, "Let me ask."
Took the notebook in front of Brother Liu and asked,
"Chen Linfeng, have you seen the original I heard that he also participated in the design of part of the plot of the script. He should have his own understanding of the character Nezha. What does Nezha look like in your mind? ”
Chen Linfeng bent down and picked up the bag on the ground, "Can you give me a minute to change my clothes? My thoughts on Nezha are all in it."
"Okay." Director Yu made a gesture of invitation.
Chen Linfeng took out the clothes from the bag, put them on his body, arranged them slightly, took out the hood, aligned it in the right direction, and put it on his head.
He was already very familiar with this outfit and quickly put it on completely. An image of Nezha that he liked very much in his previous life appeared in advance.
The audition group was a little shaken, and subtle chaotic sounds appeared.
Yu Shengming's eyes showed surprise, but after all, it was an audition scene, so he didn't express much.
He said in a calm tone, "It's a very strong style. Nezha is known as the legend of the incarnation of a lotus, and the lotus is blue and white. Why do you use red as the main color in your design?"
This is the question that puzzles him the most.
The image of Nezha envisioned by the crew in the early preparations is also mainly pure white, supplemented by lotus patterns.
But he never thought that there was such a design. The style hit his heart and disrupted his previous considerations.
Chen Linfeng said calmly, "The lotus is indeed an important symbol of Nezha, but in my heart, rebellion is his greatest background.
The struggle against the mainstream runs through Nezha's legend, and To express this, red is the most suitable color."
Yu Shengming became interested, "But if you have read the script, you should know that Nezha in the drama is not a rebellious one. Image, on the contrary, is the defender of the mainstream order."
"Yes, so I have already accepted it. If it were the origin myth of Nezha, I would even dye my hair red."
Chen Linfeng’s favorite is the image of Nezha holding a huge iceberg in the animated movie. He recalled the shock when he first saw the devil boy coming into the world in his previous life, and sighed,
"It is said that a country is easy to change, but its nature is hard to change. Even though he is a defender of order most of the time in this play, his character background should not be changed. He is a person who weighs one pound of lotus root powder and ninety-nine pounds of betrayal. "
Chen Linfeng felt that he had said a bit too much. He paused and found that no one interrupted him, and continued, "My personal opinion is that Nezha in this drama is a young man on the outside, mature on the inside, and somewhat stable. A person with a world view.
His positioning is a supporting role, so he cannot be rebellious in his behavior, so he can only work hard on his clothes. ”
Yu Shengming agrees with this statement in his heart, but the framework of the script has been finalized and it is not easy to make major changes. He will just change Nezha from an adult to a teenager, and the overall plot will remain the same.
Young people don’t know the heights of the world and are most likely to show rebelliousness.
This is his best effort.
Chen Linfeng actually guessed this. He said this partly from his heart and partly to cater to the director.
This is clearly reflected in the lotus lanterns that Director Yu took in his previous life. Nezha is a little rebel. As long as he is rebelling against Heaven, he will definitely help.
In his previous life, probably this year, this director would have made a film about Nezha, the Lotus Boy, which was also a teenager. However, he took over the director's job for the sequel, and it seems that it will still be born. Hit.
Yu Shengming looked around, "What do you think? Do you have any questions?"
The people who hosted the audition discussed it in a low voice and decided to let this part go. The performance was too outstanding, even if it was not adopted. This little actor has to fight to use his outfit.
The second item, the performance session, the title is the content just sent to hand.
Chen Linfeng performed according to the script.
Speaking in a roundabout way and conveying hidden meanings through expressions beyond words, Chen Linfeng completely acted out the state of a working god who has been fishing in heaven for many years.
He hasn't learned acting yet. He mainly plays his true character in acting. It can't be said that his performance is very good. He can still perform at this age of about ten years old.
Yu Shengming secretly commented that the lines were relatively good, and it also showed the maturity of Nezha's mentality. The specific performance level should be similar to that of the little girl in front.
He picked up the pen and marked the paper.
The next third item is the actor's own performance, which requires the auditionee to show his or her own strengths and weaknesses.
Chen Linfeng saw that the crew had prepared various weapons in the room, so he practiced his Shaolin marksmanship, and the audition members nodded repeatedly.
Chen Linfeng left the stage after his audition.
Yu Shengming signaled to stop calling, and several bosses discussed Chen Linfeng's performance.
The largest investor, Liu Zhiping of China Television Wuxi Film and Television Company, said bluntly, "This performance is so outstanding that I think it can be settled directly."
Someone echoed, "Yes, His acting skills are good, and his acting skills are okay, not to mention his image, which fits perfectly."
Yu Shengming had already made up his mind, but still said calmly, "There are people behind me, let's finish the audition first. Let’s talk again.”
Chen Linfeng, Shi Xiaolong and Shu Chang met to share their performances.
Shu Chang looked at Chen Linfeng, who had not changed out of his costume, and lamented that his hope was slim. Shi Xiaolong was also wailing beside him.
Now that the audition was over, Chen Linfeng stopped thinking about it and continued writing "Book of Life and Death" after returning home.
The result was no surprise. Ten days later, Chen’s father called to inform him that the person who played the role of Nezha was none other than Chen Linfeng.
He asked his father about the other characters. Needless to say, Zhang Lingtong, some of the investment in this drama was directed at him, and there could be no changes. Tang Monk is the Tang Monk actor Xu Shaohua in the sequel to Journey to the West.
"Ah? How can he play a Tang Monk who can do magic and martial arts?"
Chen Linfeng was a little confused. The image of Huang Haibing in his previous life gradually faded away and was replaced by a classic version of Tang Monk's face. What do you think? I feel weird.
"Don't underestimate this guy. He has played Zhang Wenyuan in Three Kingdoms and also acted in martial arts movies. His martial arts dramas are pretty good."
"Well, I am ignorant."
But no matter how you think about it, it feels weird.
Father Chen continued to talk about other casting situations.
Zhu Bajie, Qiao Ling'er, and Fairy Biyou are the same as those in the previous life. They should be Cao Rong's handiwork. Although he is no longer in control, he still has a great say.
The six-eared macaque is played by Ding Jian, who played Sun Wukong in later "Lotus Lantern".
Bai Lianhua was replaced by Xu Qing. She had just collaborated with Chen Daoming in the movie "Let's Not Break Up". She was free at the moment and was recommended by China Television to star in it.
Most of the other characters are actors from the sequel to Journey to the West.
Both dramas have scenes such as heaven, spiritual mountains, and underworld, and most of the characters are similar.
In the sequel, we can just cross the river by feeling the stones. There is no need to change the scenes, costumes, and props, they can be used directly.
Whether it is the actors in front of the stage or the people behind the scenes, they have also accepted it. These people will be happy to get an extra salary.
Among them, China Television Wuxi Film and Television Company is an investor in both dramas and played a big role.
And this company got involved because of Zhang Lingtong, so spending more money to hire him would be a huge profit.
The official time to go to the crew is August, and Chen Linfeng needs to finish writing the novel before then.
It was the summer vacation at this time, so he stayed at home every day and rushed to finish the manuscript.
Asking for all kinds of votes. If you have votes, please give some to this book. I would be very grateful
