I'm a Director, I'm Not Bad Chapter 571

  Chapter 571 569. Old Tang...

   "Wow the news from Sanjin?"

   asked Xu Daqiang, who was feeding his grandchildren juice with a perforated filter pacifier.

"Um."

  Yang Mi nodded:

   "Tell me that he chose an actress, Li Man, do you know Uncle Xu?"

"who?"

  Xu Daqiang looked bewildered.

   "Li Man is the girl who originally played Jiang Chan in "The Golden Armor."

  Looking at her husband's dazed look, Yang Mi knew that he didn't understand.

  So I told the ins and outs of the matter:

   "... That's it. If she hadn't been bitten by a mosquito, her eyes were swollen, and Gong Li and Zhang Weiping had conflicts, Jiang Chan wouldn't be my role."

   After Xu Daqiang understood the cause of the incident, he couldn't help but think a little more.

   "Aren't you happy? If you're not, Sanjin should not choose her."

   "That's not the case, I'm just feeling..."

   Sitting on the sofa, Yang Mi looked at the two babies who were already so big, holding the phone whose screen hadn't dimmed, her tone full of embarrassment:

   "How time flies. My children are so old... I heard Li Man again today, and I felt a little emotional... It's like getting old."

  Xu Daqiang's eyes were strange for a while.

  What is this kid talking about?

   Are you getting old?

what about me?

  At this time, Sun Ting came over with a document in her hand:

"Sister, I probably searched on the Internet, but there is really no place that meets the requirements. Most of them are hotel theaters. I guess if I want to look for it... I have to go to Shanghai and ask those intermediaries. There is not much information on this kind of small theater online. This is The few places I found that barely fit the bill..."

   "It's... alright."

  Yang Mi glanced at the information Sun Ting printed out, and said casually:

   "Then let people look for it locally in Modu..."

   "What are you looking for?"

  Xu Daqiang was a little curious.

   "Small theater, I plan to set up a regular drama club in Shanghai, specifically to connect with those acting schools and dig out good seedlings. So I want to rent a theater...Do you know anyone?"

   "Use someone I know very well. Just buy one?"

  As soon as Xu Daqiang opened his mouth, the smell became stronger.

  Yang Mi quickly shook her head:

   "No, that's not what I use..."

   "Ah, it's the same for everyone. We don't use it, but we have to have it."

   Xu Daqiang, who always felt that he could not help the careers of his second son and daughter-in-law, suddenly saw something useful for him, and his eyes lit up:

   "I'll buy one for you. How much does it cost? Let someone do it now."

  He said and picked up the phone...

   Sun Ting was speechless for a while after hearing this.

   But Yang Mi smiled sweetly:

   "Hey, then... don't be too big, just enough to hold three or four hundred people."

"okay."

  Xu Daqiang responded and dialed Xu Miao's phone directly:

   "Crooked! Mimi wants a theater with three or four hundred people. Go and buy one... oh, what about art, do you know what to do, hurry up and get it... oh ok, just get it done, hang up."

   "Hey hey hey hey~"

  As he hung up the phone, Yang Mi smiled happily as if she had gotten a great deal.

   "Uncle Xu! That's awesome!"

   "Ahahaha~"

  Xu Daqiang also laughed heartily.

   That's right, everything is going well with family.

  If the two daughter-in-laws are happy, then the son will be happy, and if the son is happy, the father will be happy too?

  A son-in-law who came to the door did not know that his father-in-law spent a lot of money to make his daughter happy, and he was still struggling to audition.

   Auditioning is actually quite a tough job.

   Mainly the kind of aesthetic fatigue...

  After seeing off the eighth man and the ninth woman, Xu Xin threw the information in his hand into the elimination basket, and suddenly said to Xue Yong next to him:

   "Brother Yong."

   "Hey, what's the matter, Director Xu?"

   "This girl named Zhang Jiayu is here..."

  He pointed to his mandibles on both sides... the meaning is self-evident.

   Xue Yong subconsciously looked at Wang Lei.

  Wang Lei nodded slightly:

   "Well, her oval face is too obvious, and the lines are indeed too soft, without that sense of naturalness."

"well."

  Listening to Wang Lei's words, Xu Xin sighed.

   "When did everyone in this circle start to use knives... It looks so awkward, I can't tell the difference."

  His words made the other people behind look at each other.

  Some people frowned.

  Because they ignored it.

   Or rather... a bit missed.

  The girl named Zhang Jiayu just now is really pretty. Although her acting skills are not so good, her pure facial features are really attractive.

   But they only saw the beauty, but Director Xu saw that the other party had used a knife.

  Director Xu's eyes are really poisonous...

  Why did I ignore it?

   Tut.

  It seems that there is really a lot to learn...

   Soon, the ninth actor walked in.

   "Hi directors, my name is Guo Jingfei..."

  Hearing the name, Xu Xin focused on him.

   This is the person brought by Sister Hua.

  Because of emotion and reason, he will give him face and let him advance to the next round.

  It's like Bai Zhenhe.

   Not being close to any circles is purely to give Sister Hua a face.

   After he finished introducing himself, Xu Xin replaced Xue Yong and asked:

   "Brother Guo came to me, but it made my drama flourish."

   This one just won the Magnolia Award, the highest award in drama in 2009. There is definitely nothing wrong with her acting skills, it just depends on whether she is suitable or not.

  So Xu Xin's tone was very relaxed.

   also brings a layer of nearness.

  Province's Wang Jinghua picks it up.

  After hearing this, Guo Jingfei quickly said politely:

   "Director Xu is serious, and I would like to thank Director Xu and all the directors for giving me this opportunity to audition."

   "Haha, what role is Brother Guo auditioning for this time?"

   "The role of Wang Xiaojian."

"good."

  Xu Xin nodded:

   "Brother Guo is free to play any part he wants. Start when you are ready."

   Within the scope of his authority, he gave the greatest degree of freedom.

"That…"

  Guo Jingfei thought for a while, then said with a smile:

   "Then I'll act out the part where Li Ke asks Huang Xiaoxian and Wang Xiaojian to talk about their wedding in the early morning, the part where Wang Xiaojian hates people."

"no problem."

  Xu Xin agreed without hesitation, and turned to look at Tian Yusheng.

  Tian Yusheng quickly started to look through his own script, looking for that line.

   Seeing this, Guo Jingfei also reminded:

   "37 Acts."

  Hearing this, Tian Yusheng quickly flipped through the script, found the part he wanted to act in, compared it, and nodded.

  Obviously, one detail made everyone understand how well he mastered the script.

  You can say that he is working hard, or you can say that he is showing his hard work.

   Anything goes.

  But indeed, this small move made everyone understand...he was really well prepared.

   Less than half a minute later, he rubbed his hands, coughed twice, and said to Tian Yusheng:

   "Director, I'm ready to start."

"good."

  Tian Yusheng glanced at the script book, and directly read out the lines that belonged to Li Ke.

  This scene is about the preparation period for the wedding of "Wei Yiran and Li Ke" in Huang Xiaoxian's eyes, the rich man + gold worshiping girl group. Li Ke especially wants to make a short film comparable to Hollywood, but Wei still doesn't like it.

   Then Li Ke asked Huang Xiaoxian and Wang Xiaojian to find a solution.

   As a result, Wang Xiaojian gave him a good meal.

   "Last night, Wei Wei suddenly told me that he thought it would be troublesome to make a short film, so he decided not to do it. What should I do? I must make a short film!"

   Tian Yusheng's tone was very flat, and he didn't have a good line level.

   After all, he is just a playmaker.

  But in the eyes of everyone, Guo Jingfei kept looking at Tian Yusheng with a...very strange look when he was talking.

  This look is quite interesting.

  As long as you use a little force, the mood of sarcasm and sarcasm will come out.

  But if you use less force, it will be the kind of polite listening.

  His expression is stuck between these two points.

  It seems that he is enduring, suppressing the change of expression on his face.

  Until Tian Yusheng said "I must make a short film", the corners of his eyes began to twitch, and then he turned his head naturally.

   Sniffed hard.

   And when he turned around again, the expression on his face returned to its original appearance again.

  A gleam of appreciation flashed in Xu Xin's eyes.

very funny.

  Obviously the two expressions are exactly the same, but the sniffing action helped him complete the mentality change for the audience.

  Expression, the same.

   But the mental activity is different.

  This acting skill cannot be said to be amazing, because his own appearance and appearance are here, and he wants to play that kind of sissy, but his face is too resolute, which lowers him a lot.

   But the acting skills shown are very solid.

  Xu Xin looked very satisfied.

   Then, Tian Yusheng looked at the explanation of "Li Ke paused after speaking" on the script, and after a second of silence, he continued:

   "If you can't help me, I'll find another company to do it."

  After finishing this sentence, it's time for Wang Xiaojian to go crazy.

   Next, Guo Jingfei showed off his super stable line skills:

   "You do whatever you want."

  Tian Yusheng:

"What did you say?"

   "I'm sloppy~li~so~so~"

  He still maintained the impolite and unsarcastic expression on his face, but his mouth began to stab like a knife:

   "Miss Li, if you disagree with Mr. Wei, please go home and come up with a unified result for us after the quarrel. The two of us cannot do this kind of persuasion, and we have no obligation to do it."

   This is a paragraph.

  Then, as his tone began to increase, the sarcasm in his face began to fade away, replaced by an unblinking stare and an increasingly fast speaking speed:

"I heard you say this at five o'clock in the morning. I thought you were complaining. When I left this door, I left all your words here and didn't take a word away. Yes! We are making money from you! But it doesn't mean we The two have to listen to the two of you 24 hours a day, and we also have working hours."

   After speaking a long series of words in one breath, he suddenly turned his head after picking up all the tone that should be emphasized.

   When he turned his head, his neck drew a small parabola upward. ,

   At first glance, it looks like a small semicircle, but the sissy feeling comes out all at once:

   "Let's go, Huang Xiaoxian, let's go back and take a beauty sleep..."

   After finishing speaking, he looked at Tian Yusheng again:

"Miss Li, before I leave, I would like to advise you. I have been in this business for a long time, and it is not uncommon for me to see couples fall apart before getting married. The man is forced to respond by the woman's two hundred and fifty demands. I regret it, the woman regrets chasing after people's buttocks desperately. This kind of result is not dreamy at all."

  He smiled slightly:

   "There is no other meaning in saying these things. Let me share with you the lessons learned from the past. Huang Xiaoxian~ let's go."

  The tone at the end was like leaving with his own dog...

  It seems to be saying "You continue to be a demon, I will wait to see your jokes"...

  Just these few lines, which can't be faulted from tone to frustration to emotion, completely reveal Wang Xiaojian's character of "softness with toughness" to the fullest.

  Finally, he closed his eyes:

   "My performance is over, thank you everyone."

  He bowed slightly.

  Everyone looked in Xu Xin's direction.

   waited for him to speak.

   Xu Xin shook his head suddenly after being silent for a few seconds.

  Seeing him shaking his head, Guo Jingfei didn't express much.

  Because Xu Xin has already spoken:

   "Great performance, Brother Guo, I can see that you are well prepared."

   Guo Jingfei listened politely.

   "Whether it's the lines or the fine-tuned micro-expressions, it can actually be seen that you understand the role of Wang Xiaojian very well."

  Guo Jingfei remained silent.

  Because he knew that Xu Xin must have something to say later.

as expected:

   "But you're not a good fit."

  He chose to tell the truth:

"What makes you unsuitable is not your acting skills, nor your lines...but your appearance. The sun has just come, although you can use your acting skills to express Wang Xiaojian's character. But... you can't give people the preconceived and pretentious feeling. You have to make up for it through speaking and acting, not because of the facial features and modeling that can bring advantages in this aspect. So..."

  He looked down at the information in his hand, and put it directly into the promotion basket.

   thought for a while, and said:

   "In the second round, come and try the role of Lu Ran. I think you are very suitable for him. Make preparations in this direction. For Wang Xiaojian...you suffer from appearance, not other things. Do you understand what I mean?"

   "Okay, I see."

  Guo Jingfei didn't have any other expressions on his face, but was very polite.

  After all, what Director Xu said was actually a disadvantage he knew in his heart.

  He is not an actor without acting experience. He has participated in many auditions, so he naturally understands that the director's first impression when looking for someone is always to try to match the audition person with his own image.

   Being able to overlap in appearance is half the battle.

  Although the other half can sometimes make up for it, it is "acquired" rather than brought over by nature.

  People don't need to explain to themselves.

  If it suits you, go in, if it doesn't suit you, you can cooperate again.

   After explaining so much, the face is really enough.

  So, he nodded:

   "Okay, thank you Director Xu."

   "Well, see you in the second round. Say hello to Sister Hua for me too. I'm busy today, so I won't say hello to her."

   "Okay, I will definitely bring my words to you. Directors have worked hard. Goodbye."

  Finally, Guo Jingfei politely left the audition hall.

   After he left, Xu Xin didn't say much, just nodded to the staff at the door:

"Next person."

   No one else has any comments either.

  Not to mention anything else, but just talking about the use of eyes, he has no problem joining the crew.

   And Director Xu's words are also correct.

   He's really not a good fit for a sissy role.

   This is an inherent weakness.

  A suitable actor is called playing, but he can only be used to make up.

   This is the most essential difference.

   Soon, the door was pushed open again, and Tang Yan walked in.

  Xu Xin looked over in an instant.

  But when his eyes turned to Tang Yan's direction, he frowned...

  Why... Lost your mind?

   A few minutes ago.

   "Teacher Tang, I am now the ninth actor to audition."

"OK, thanks."

   Tang Yan responded, and after standing up, Ji Rujing said:

"come on!"

"Um."

   Tang Yan responded and walked out of the rest room.

  Compared to when we came here just now, there are a lot fewer people now.

  She ignored it.

   Instead, he silently maintained his grasp of "Huang Xiaoxian" and the state of entering the role.

  She wants to act in a movie.

  I really want to.

   But I don't want to act in bad movies.

  After entering the entertainment industry, she followed in the footsteps of her godfather in the movie business, and after making a few movies with a rather nonsensical style, she no longer liked that style.

  Each actor must define the role he can play.

  Be clear about what you are good at and where you should develop your drama.

  As far as Tang Yan herself is concerned, she is also aware of her own advantages.

   "Couple."

Or:

   "CP."

  Perhaps because of "Chinese Paladin III", her fans and audience have a high degree of adaptation to the emotional role she plays.

   This is her advantage.

   Being able to adapt means being attractive.

   Otherwise, like Liu Yifei did in the early years... whoever plays with her will be scolded.

  That is definitely not conducive to the future development of actors.

   In the same way, for Tang Yan, she also knows that high adaptability also means high imprisonment.

  She doesn't want to tie herself down the film and television road with labels like "sweet, CP, vase" for too long.

   During this period of time, with the help of several acting instructors, she took the initiative to contact and integrate into the role of "Huang Xiaoxian".

  Several mentors think she is very suitable for this role.

   Moreover, the team also felt that this was a breakthrough.

  Director Xu's influence is not mentioned, just in terms of roles, Huang Xiaoxian is a character who breaks through the framework of her previous dramas.

  Her toughness is very suitable for her to get rid of the inherent impression among the audience.

   Just…

   In terms of performance, she is not stable.

   In other words, she was still unable to maintain Huang Xiaoxian's aura of "women don't give way to men" when Huang Xiaoxian lost his temper.

   This is her disadvantage.

Good times and bad.

   is related to lines, and also related to emotions.

  Among the three fulcrums for an actor to construct a performance, her physical performance, the integration of emotions and lines are ups and downs, which is also her shortcoming.

  So, all she can do now is to try her best to maintain her state of immersion in Huang Xiaoxian's best mental activities until the end of the audition.

  So, she was silent and reticent, thinking over and over again about everything about Huang Xiaoxian.

  Until she walked up the stairs and saw the girls preparing in and out of the audition hall... and that sound:

   "Damn, Old Tang!?"

   Tang Yan raised his head instinctively.

   I ran into an extremely familiar face.

   "...Seventh brother?"

  She froze for a moment.

   Seventh Brother, or Xi Wei.

  Xia Youshan from "Three Daughters of Gold in the Xia Family".

  She is here too?

  The friendship between the two began with "Three Daughters of the Xia Family" which had just been filmed a few months ago.

  But just like Yang Mi and Liu Zhishi in "Sword and Sword III"... It doesn't matter whether it is Tang Yan's defect or a disease.

  She is not very good at maintaining friendship.

  When Mingming was on the set, everyone got along very well. But after leaving the crew, Tang Yan hadn't contacted her for several months.

   But when they met at this moment, it was inevitable that Tang Yan was a little embarrassed.

   There are many factors involved in this embarrassment, for example, because there is no contact, it is impossible to know in advance that Xi Wei is here.

  Another example...with a good friend, she serves good tea and water in a private room, but Xi Wei can only stand in a long queue here...

in many ways.

  However, Xi Wei who was opposite her didn't think so much, instead she laughed heartily:

   "Hey, are you there too? What's the number?"

   "No. 10, how about you, Brother Seven?"

   "Then you came early enough, I'm on the 39th, I woke up late today, I was almost late... ahaha."

  Seeing Xie Wei's cheerful appearance, Tang Yan was not surprised.

   Brother Qi is such a person.

   Carefree, with the same personality as a man... huh?

  Suddenly, Tang Yan seemed to realize something, and in the blink of an eye, she quickly glanced at Xi Wei.

   Haven't seen her for months, and her hair hasn't grown back.

  When filming "Three Daughters of the Xia Family", Xia Youshan's style was a typical short bob.

   Now it is only a little longer.

  But this shape...is associated with personality...

  For no reason, Tang Yan had a strange idea in his heart.

  It seems... Seventh brother is more suitable for Huang Xiaoxian.

  As soon as this idea appeared, the mood of the character who maintained the "male woman" emotion in her heart was disrupted in an instant.

  She suddenly felt that she was "pretentious".

   It's not behavior, but the overall content that expresses all of Huang Xiaoxian's character traits.

   Very contrived.

  Even if she hadn't seen Brother Seven quarreling with anyone.

  But why did Xi Wei have the nickname "Seventh Brother"?

  The meaning is here.

   She is really a man in private.

  A very straightforward person.

   It is also because of this character that he got this nickname.

  But when Tang Yan thought of this and looked at her carefree and hearty smile, Tang Yan labeled the role he was going to play as "pretentious" in his heart for no reason.

  Especially after seeing Xie Wei's incomparably natural hearty personality...

  Those actions that were thought to be okay, after being labeled with this label, were like an unreasonable heavy hammer. With a sudden blow, she was blasted out of the emotion immersed in the character!

  A feeling of tingling headache gushes out directly...

   Not really a headache.

   It's that kind of... very uncomfortable state.

   It was embarrassing, I wanted to pick my feet, and even my scalp felt a little numb.

  When she felt her state, she suddenly panicked...

   He even forgot to answer Xi Wei's words.

   On the contrary, Xie Wei was a little puzzled:

   "What's the matter with you?"

"I…"

  Tang Yan tried to say something, but felt that he shouldn't speak, but should try to get back to his state quickly.

  But at this moment, the door of the audition hall was opened, and Guo Jingfei, who had already performed, walked out from inside.

  The door closes again and opens again a few seconds later:

   "Female Auditor No. 10, enter."

  The moment the sound reached Tang Yan's ears...

  Her face suddenly turned pale.

   It's over...

  She instinctively quickened her pace.

   Firstly, he wanted to escape from Xi Wei's side, and secondly, he was afraid of delaying the audition.

   But looking at the audition gate that was getting closer and closer, she was like a bound person who couldn't move but couldn't move.

  Obviously, when I went in, I wanted to show my best side, but after seeing a real "male woman", my best side was hammered into pieces.

   All of a sudden, she panicked.

  Behind her, Xi Wei, who watched her "leave without saying goodbye", scratched her head wonderingly.

  Old Tang, what's wrong?

   Inexplicable.
