Chapter 132 Professional Villain
In the dressing room, I simply put on makeup and tidied my hair.
I didn’t put on a hair cover, it was too time-consuming, so I changed into an ancient style robe.
After finishing, the staff led him to the small conference room.
As soon as he entered the room, Zhang Yuan saw a man and a woman, who were whispering.
Zhang Yuan has excellent hearing and heard gossips like "Nie Yuan", "Not bad", "Very suitable" and so on.
He knew clearly that these two men were obviously very satisfied with Nie Yuan's performance just now.
Even if Zhang Yuan does not approve of Nie Yuan's acting style and emotional life, he still admits that this temporary "opponent" who is currently competing for a corner is indeed powerful.
Even in the Chinese entertainment industry where there are many heroes, this old man’s acting skills can still be ranked high.
“However, an actor’s strength is not limited to his acting skills.” Zhang Yuan said secretly.
Talking about the two people in front of me, there are two of them, one male and one female.
The woman is short and fat, with a pot head that resembles a scarab beetle.
The man is just the opposite, tall and thin, so thin that his skin and flesh can shrink into his bones.
These two are the director Li Huizhu and the screenwriter Chen Shisan of "A Chinese Ghost Story".
It goes without saying that these two are powerful factions, and Chen Shisan is one of them.
In the talented Hong Kong and Taiwan screenwriting circles, people can be called ghosts, such as "I Have a Date with Spring", "Young Fang Shiyu", "I Have a Date with a Zombie"...
This person is not only He is extremely talented and manages to win over beautiful women, which makes others envious.
Li Huizhu did not hesitate to give in. In addition to many collaborations with Chen Shisan, she also wrote two popular works in later generations, "Gong Lock Heart Jade" and "Legend of Lu Zhen".
These two are both experts in the industry, which shows how much Yang Dengkui has invested in making Xu Xiyuan popular.
"Hello, teachers." Zhang Yuan stood still, crossed his arms and bowed, saying hello.
"Not bad looking." Li Huizhu raised her head and whispered to Chen Shisan.
"Taller than Nie Yuan and better looking."
"Looking for an actor, not a model." Chen Shisan replied with a smile, thinking that Li Huizhu was a woman after all, and sure enough, Face control.
In the first round of auditions, the complete script will not be given, but a few thin pieces of paper will be given.
Zhang Yuan took a look and saw that the content consisted of one scene for each of the two characters.
The second male lead Zhuge Liuyun and the third male lead Qiye Mojun.
As for auditions, of course the director and screenwriter have the final say. Actors are just commodities, and it is up to them to decide how to play with them.
Speaking of which, except for "Conquer", this is the first time that Zhang Yuan did not have "internal responses" before the audition. After all, he had no "internal response" before the filming of "The Golden Family", "The Legend of Heaven and the Dragon Slayer" and "The Legend of the Dragon". I got to know the director, so I had an advantage during the audition.
After spending a few minutes reading the script, the director asked him to perform the character of Zhuge Liuyun first, because according to Chen Shisan’s design, Zhuge Liuyun’s character was ranked before Qiye.
The personalities of these two characters are exactly opposite, one is lively and lively, the other is deep and serious.
Zhang Yuan tried his best to show a cheerful state, but unfortunately the preparation time was too short, he had never played a similar role before, and his observation was insufficient, so even he was not satisfied with this performance.
Li Huizhu and Chen Shisan shook their heads repeatedly.
"Embroidered pillow..." Li Huizhu sighed in her heart: "A good face is lost in vain."
Chen Shisan thought he was too young, but now he sees him playing Zhuge Liuyun felt that he was far different from the characters in his works.
"Okay, that's it. Let's adjust the situation and perform the role of the Seven Nights Demon Lord." Director Li shook his head, looked at Chen Shisan and whispered.
"Where did you find the actor?"
"It was Bai Heli's sister Yang who contacted me."
Bi Heli is the film and television company of the boss Yang Dengkui.
"Whose relationship is it probably?" Chen Shisan frowned in disgust. The male and female protagonists were already related people.
Especially Xu Xiyuan, Chen Shisan felt that this woman was not as beautiful as his own wife, so what qualifications did she have to play Xiaoqian.
He didn't even think about it, but his wife was Wan Qiwen. With her breasts, waist, and long legs, she was a goddess in her prime.
"Well, anyway, we have done the interviews well, we just need to be benevolent and honest, and we just have to explain to the investors." Li Huizhu also found it troublesome: "We can't use all the relevant users, and we have to consider the effect of the film. ”
The two reached a unified opinion.
With Nie Yuan's performance in front, and Zhang Yuan's performance just now, which was quite average, the two of them just looked at each other casually.
Unlike them, Zhang Yuan was in high spirits.
After all, his target was Qiye, not Zhuge Liuyun.
In addition, since my debut, three of the four characters have been villains, so I feel very comfortable playing such a fierce and tragic character.
Since his performance just now was unsatisfactory, now he has to double show his advantages!
"Do you want to let this person go, or not."
The content of this paragraph is that Heishan forcibly married Xiaoqian, and Qiye fought with swords and horses.
While Zhang Yuan was reciting his lines, a sinister and domineering look came out of his eyes, startling the director and screenwriter who were originally lacking in interest and were drowsy.
“What a cruel look, what a fierce expression!” Director Li was startled and found that the aura of the young man in front of him had changed drastically from before.
In this section, he used Sun Honglei in "Conquest" as a template for his performance, so he was naturally extremely fierce.
After he paused for a moment, before the two "interviewers" could react, he adjusted his state and started again.
"Should you let this person go, or not!"
This time, his eyes and expression were much softer than before, and 70% of his domineering energy was gone.
If it was a tyrannical middle-aged man who was threatening the opponent just now, then now he is a young man who is just starting out and is competing with the enemy.
A lot more youthful, with a bit of youthful spirit.
In this version, he acted after the blackened Song Qingshu, more immature, but more infatuated.
After all, Qiye is blocking the road to save Xiaoqian at this moment, and Zhang Yuan, who is familiar with the plot, understands that Qiye actually has a crush on Xiaoqian, and it is fitting that he is in love.
Chen Shisan raised his eyebrows.
Changed!
The determination for love in the eyes of this version is very consistent with the theme of his script, love.
With the same line, the two sections before and after have completely different effects, as if they have switched personalities.
Li Huizhi felt that she should take back her "embroidered pillow" comment just now.
"You..." Director Li was about to ask, but just before he could speak, Zhang Yuan's eyes changed again and he spoke steadily.
"Does this person let go or not?"
After saying that, Zhang Yuan flicked his sleeves and put one hand behind his back.
The tone this time is also softer than the previous two times, but it is soft yet strong, gentle and elegant yet full of oppression. "It's changed again!" Li Huizhu and Chen Shisan looked at each other in surprise.
In this version, he borrowed Murong Fu's sense of character.
Qiye is the monarch of the Yinyue Dynasty.
The nobility and elegance of a monarch were vividly displayed by Zhang Yuan at this moment.
“The first time was vicious and cruel, the second time was passionate and impulsive, and the third time was noble and cruel hidden in it.”
Li Huizhu was stunned and thought for a long time.
"He gave us three choices!"
Director Li now feels spoiled for choice, feeling that all three are good and each has its own merits.
"What's the origin?" Director Li picked up the actor's resume from the table, rummaged through it carefully, pulled out a page, put it in front of her and Chen Shisan, pushed up his glasses, and looked at it carefully.
“Conquest!”
“Golden Pink Family”!”
""The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Sword"!"
""The Eight Parts of Heaven and Dragon"!"
The two stared at each other in a daze, their lips slightly open and their breathing disordered.
According to the rules, the two core crew members will study each other's resume during the period when the actors are putting on makeup to facilitate subsequent auditions.
But something went wrong when it came to Zhang Yuan.
His name is too unfamiliar.
Nie Yuan’s performance was great again.
Since Nie Yuan left, the two of them have been discussing each other's audition content, and almost agreed on the spot that the other would be the perfect candidate for the Seven Nights Demon Lord.
So, I forgot to check Zhang Yuan’s resume in advance.
Now that I look at it, I realize that this young man is amazing!
"His acting experience seems to be stronger than Nie Yuan's." Chen Shisan whispered.
“Although the age is not as good as Nie Yuan’s, the number of actors is only slightly lower than Nie Yuan’s. In terms of quality, this one is better.”
Director Li agreed and nodded vigorously .
Among Nie Yuan’s previous works, there are only two famous ones.
"Marrying the Right Man in the Wrong Sedan" and "The Granary of the World".
In terms of production cost, it is naturally not as good as "Golden Dust", "Yi Tian" and "Dragon".
Moreover, both of them have rich experience in ancient costumes, which caused the two speakers to get entangled for a while.
"Zhang Yuan, please go and rest first." After careful consideration, Director Li asked him to leave first.
“What should I do?” Chen Shisan asked.
“Nie Yuan is more comprehensive, but this guy’s image and temperament are better, and...”
Director Li flipped through his resume: "He seems to be a professional villain. He has appeared in a total of four dramas, three of which were villains."
"Oh... no wonder." Chen Shisan suddenly realized: "Just now he played the role of a villain. The performance of the comedy characters is average, but the evil character of the Seven Nights Demon is very good."
"He also gave us three different versions to choose from, which seems to be something only many veteran actors can do. Do it.”
“Yes, it is really impressive to give three different understandings in a short time.” Director Li agreed very much.
“But Nie Yuan is more popular. Although the films this kid has participated in are good, most of them have not been broadcast and his popularity is limited.”
Baodao TV series production mostly adopts a short, flat and fast model, and one can be filmed in one or two months.
According to the work plan of the crew, "A Chinese Ghost Story" may have finished broadcasting, and "Yitian" and "Tianlong" have not yet been launched.
Through this analysis, the two of them have their own merits and it is difficult to distinguish them.
After a while of silence, Director Li made a decision.
“Let’s try it again.”
"Okay, let the people below inform you."
Outside the conference room, in the rest area, Zhang Yuanyi chatted with Xu Lu with a relaxed face.
"Mr. Zhang Yuan, Director Li asked me to inform you that a second audition will be arranged later. Please pay attention to your phone."
The arrival of a staff member made plans for the two of them. chat.
Xu Lu was pleasantly surprised when she heard this.
"He is really no worse than my junior fellow student."
"Congratulations."
"Congratulations for what? I haven't won the role yet." Zhang Yuan responded with a smile.
"You have so many clever ideas and great talent, you will win." Xu Lu didn't compliment her, she really felt that way.
"By the way, it seems that the movie we filmed, "The Golden Family", is about to be aired. If we can catch up with this movie before it happens, maybe we can help you raise your pay."
"That's great, I'll treat you to dinner then."
"Okay."
At the same time, Nie Yuan also received a call from the crew.
“Second test...I know.”
He was slightly dazed. The on-site director was obviously very satisfied with him, so why did he suddenly need a second test?
"Hey, that's right. I guess you want to see my performance again."
"We need to give the crew time to think about it." Nie Yuan calmed down.
It never occurred to him that he needed a second try because he met an equally matched opponent.
“As long as there is a chance for a second audition, I will definitely win the role.”
“In terms of performance, I don’t believe anyone can beat me.”
His confidence is justified.
Indeed, if it is a second interview, the result will probably still be indistinguishable.
But things are unpredictable.
He never expected that due to a little accident encountered by the crew, he was "cut off the horse" by Zhang Yuan before he even had a second chance...
