Chapter 24 The old cow eats the young grass, and the rabbit eats the grass beside the nest
Producer Luo sat aside and listened to the conversation between Wang Shu and Zhang Hanyu, with joy evident on his face.
Although Zhang Hanyu is not well-known, he has become famous since the release of "Buried Alive".
Especially the title of being nominated for Best Actor at the Berlin International Film Festival is full of gimmicks.
Those who know the business know that this nomination means nothing.
However, as long as it is slightly manipulated and placed among ordinary people, it will be different.
Zhang Hanyu agreed so decisively, which actually made Wang Shu a little embarrassed.
However, he was not pretentious. He chatted with Zhang Hanyu for a while and politely sent him away.
The male actors waiting outside watched eagerly as Zhang Hanyu came out of the audition room. They saw Zhang Hanyu coming out with the script in his hand, each one like an eggplant beaten by frost.
There was a wailing.
Compared to them, Zhang Hanyu was an acquaintance who had worked with Wang Shu.
"Buried Alive" is still showing in cinemas.
This advantage is too great.
Zhang Hanyu left Yishu Company, walked to the parking space and got into a car.
His family background is relatively good and he belongs to the car-owning family.
""My Girlfriend is a Nine-Tailed Fox"?"
As soon as Zhang Hanyu sat in the driver's seat, he couldn't help but flip through the script in his hand. After just a glance, a series of question marks appeared above his head.
This.
This script
Isn’t it an idol drama?
What's going on?
In his expectation, the script written by Wang Shu should be a story similar to "Buried Alive" that is both tense and exciting, with a hint of horror.
What the hell is this "My Girlfriend is a Nine-Tailed Fox"?
He turned over the script with doubts in his mind and continued to look down.
Although Zhang Hanyu is only a supporting role, whether he is the protagonist or the supporting role, as long as he is the main character, he is holding a complete script in his hands.
The difference is that different characters are marked differently in the script.
For example, Zhang Hanyu, the script he took specifically marked the part of the character he played.
On the other side, the audition continues.
"Hello, Director Wang."
"Hello, Teacher Luo."
Li Guangjie opened the door and came in. He first greeted Wang Shu and Luo Guangguang's producer respectfully, and then began to introduce himself.
"I am Li Guangjie, graduated from the Acting Department of Beijing Academy of Drama."
"Have starred in "Qianlong Dynasty", "Proof of Memory", "City Season 5", "Red Flag" "His Sons and Daughters" and other TV series."
He paused and then said, "Play a supporting role in it."
Wang Shu's eyes lit up after hearing this. He is from the acting department of Beijing Drama Academy. The quality of actors is much higher than that of Beijing Film Academy.
Zhang Yimou, a graduate of the Beijing Film Academy, has made good use of this.
Moreover, Li Guangjie knew it.
Starred in the fantasy movie "The Second Generation of Monsters", playing the role of Yun Zhonghe, an important figure in the monster world.
In this movie, Liu Yifei is the heroine.
He also starred in the TV series "Peace Hotel" with Chen Shu and Lei Jiayin.
He also participated in the 4.688 billion box office movie "The Wandering Earth".
Of course, these are not the point.
The point is.
He is an 81-year-old cow who ate a handful of 91-year-old grass, and what he ate was the grass from the Beijing Academy of Drama.
This guy has something good in the two aspects of old cows eating young grass and rabbits eating grass beside their nests.
"Hello." Wang Shu said with a serious face, but he was muttering in his heart.
If I remember correctly, this guy should be filming "The Great Qing Dynasty", right? Although he is not the leading actor, he is still a supporting role with a relatively heavy role.
Coming here now, are you trying to get into the rhythm of drama?
Different directors have different views on actors' acting roles.
Director Chen, for example, would not tolerate actors in his crew.
However, these days, it is common for TV drama actors to appear in dramas. There are many actors who star in several TV dramas in a year.
Wang Shu will not be too harsh on this.
He has been a bit player before and knows how fierce the competition among actors is.
Resources and opportunities are limited. If you miss it, you will really miss it.
If you want to get ahead, you have to seize more opportunities, and there will inevitably be drama.
However, Wang Shu is not the kind of director who is generous enough to tolerate the male and female protagonists acting casually.
In terms of TV dramas, he can't tolerate the protagonist being involved in the drama, and the rest doesn't matter.
In terms of movies, he will not tolerate the protagonist and the main supporting role being involved in the drama, and the rest does not matter.
Because movies require excellence to ensure box office. This is something that the audience votes for with real money and cannot be fooled.
On the other hand, TV dramas are relatively casual and the requirements can be much lower.
Seeing this, Li Guangjie felt a little uneasy, saying that Director Wang didn't seem to be easy to talk to.
Producer Luo, as always, focused on company. Apart from saying hello with a smile, he sat motionless.
Li Guangjie felt more stressed, fearing that he might be careless and careless.
Wang Shu flipped through the script and chose a scene for Li Guangjie to perform.
When Li Guangjie heard this, he took a deep breath and then started performing seriously.
Wang Shu looked at Li Guangjie's performance and nodded slightly in his heart.
Graduates from the Acting Department of Beijing Academy of Drama are indeed a step ahead of Beijing Film Academy in terms of acting skills.
It’s not about how good Li Guangjie’s acting skills are, it’s all about comparison.
Of course, Wang Shu also knows that the students from the Acting Department of the Beijing Academy of Drama are superior in acting skills to the Beijing Film Academy because of the philosophies of the two schools.
Students in the Acting Department of Beijing Academy of Drama are strictly prohibited from leaving school to take plays before their junior year. They mainly focus on studying on campus, and they slowly start to relax after their junior year.
The girlfriend of Zhang Guoli’s eldest son, Zhang Mo, was a student at the Beijing Drama Academy and wanted to be accommodated by the school when she went out to take on dramas. She was willing to discuss personal secrets with a director in the school.
Looking at the Beijing Film Academy, it focuses on utilitarianism and encourages people to go out to take roles while in school. Compared with working behind closed doors in school, it is far less important to go out and look for opportunities.
Acting skills can be honed slowly.
Opportunities are rare.
When Li Guangjie finished his performance, Wang Shu turned his head and looked at Xiao Wu, "Go and see how many people are outside."
Xiao Wu got Wang Shu's signal, went out to take a look, and came back and whispered: "There are still people outside." There are five people.”
Wang Shu pondered for a moment, seeming to be thinking.
This moment made Li Guangjie extremely nervous.
Notice that the audition lasts for three days. Only one day has passed and there are still two days left.
Director Wang in front of him has plenty of time to audition others.
It seems that there is a high probability that he will be eliminated.
Li Guangjie feels bitter in his heart. He has indeed played some roles in the past few years, but after the broadcast, he still has no signs of emerging.
As for "The Storm of the Qing Dynasty", the leading actors are Jiang Wen, Zhang Fengyi and Xu Qin.
He doesn't know if he, a supporting role, can be revealed after the TV series is filmed and aired. Waves…
While Li Guangjie was waiting extremely nervously, Wang Shu's voice sounded like a spring breeze.
"There is a role for the second male lead here, you can give it a try."
"If you have no objection, just sign the contract and join the group."
