Chapter 541 539. Wrong, wrong
At the director's command, both Wang Jue and Maggie Cheung entered the character state.
Maggie Cheung's eyes dodge, not daring to look at Wang Jue.
Wang Jue brought his head close to her, put his left hand on her side, and said softly: "Look at my watch."
Maggie Cheung immediately seemed a little flustered and didn't quite understand why, so she asked him with panicked eyes, "What are you doing to look at your expression?"
Wow!
After many years, Ai Xiaomi almost burst into tears when she heard Maggie Cheung say this line again.
It's really the same.
It's like this guy never gets old.
Even if Maggie Cheung plays such a shy role, she is still charming.
And the sound is so refreshing, the kind that makes people want to stop listening.
However, Ai Xiaomi only sank in for a moment, and immediately pulled away her emotions and quickly watched the two people's performances.
Wang Jue showed a faint charming smile, "It's just one minute."
So Maggie Cheung didn't know how to refuse, so she just acquiesced to his request.
The two of them looked down at the watch on Leslie Cheung's hand.
The second hand is ticking.
A minute passed.
Maggie Cheung raised her head, her eyes still evasive, not daring to look into his eyes, "It's one minute, let's talk." (The time is up, go ahead.)
Wang Jue asked her nonchalantly, "What's the date today?"
Maggie Cheung replied, "It's the 16th."
Wang Jue nodded, looked up, and said to himself silently, "The 16th, April 16th."
He said: "You and I were together for one minute before three o'clock in the afternoon on April 16, 1960. Because of you, I will remember the minute.
We have been friends for a minute since IKEA. This is a fact. You can't catch it because it has already passed. I'll come back later. "
"cut!"
Ai Xiaomi has simply satisfied her director addiction.
There had never been a situation like this before. Ai Xiaomi never dreamed that one day she would be able to direct Days of Being Wild, even during the interview process.
Oh, what a pity.
The boss only allowed it to be used once. After this time, Leslie Cheung could no longer be used.
otherwise…
No, no.
Ai Xiaomi quickly shook her head to wake herself up.
It was you who brought it up in the first place, but it would be outrageous to regret it now.
Seeing Ai Xiaomi shaking her head, Wang Jue's heart felt cold.
It's over, it's over.
Did I not act well enough just now?
It's not that it's not good enough, it's that it's too good.
The acting is very penetrating, and the emotions are well grasped.
In him, Ai Xiaomi saw a faint shadow of Leslie Cheung.
But it's not his shadow.
There is still Wang Jue's own performance and connotation in it, so it can be regarded as a character that is separated from the original work itself, but can also produce a certain sense of novelty.
It's already pretty good.
is a good actor.
At least it's better than those serious insiders who were introduced to Ai Xiaomi through connections.
"Well, you performed quite well." Chen Kexin looked at his information and silently checked a mark.
This boy is regarded as one of the candidates. If we can't find anyone more suitable than him, we can almost finalize his use.
Wang Jue's appearance is good, and his acting skills are also great. The performance just now is really comparable to his brother's acting skills back then.
It makes people feel that Wang Jue's version of Ah Fei can stand up.
This kind of evaluation is actually quite high. After all, with Zhuyu in front, it will inevitably give people a preconceived impression. If you want to get higher scores, you have to surpass the previous actors.
The previous actor was Leslie Cheung, so it is quite difficult to surpass him.
It's quite remarkable to be able to perform to this level now.
In fact, Chen Kexin thought that even if he was not selected by then, then the next film, or Chen Kexin himself would have Wang Jue play some roles in his films in the future.
This is a resource that can be made, and it would really be wasted if it is not used.
Ai Xiaomi was also on hand to rate and comment on Wang Jue.
"Can you sing Leslie Cheung's songs?" Jacky Cheung asked him again.
"Well... I can do it a little bit, but I can't sing well enough."
"Then you can sing any of my brother's songs, and then add dance to it." Jacky Cheung said with a smile.
"Okay, okay teacher."
Wang Jue took two steps back and took a deep breath.
The mood was extremely tense.
He had heard the teachers' encouragement to him just now, and Wang Jue thought that he was not suppressed by Maggie Cheung's aura in the scene just now, and still showed his own strength. His score should not be low. Not good is really promising.
only…
Singing and dancing are indeed his weaknesses. He has been said to be tone-deaf since he was a child. Later, he was only able to enter the acting industry, and he mainly relied on his appearance to make a living.
Who would have thought that one day he would receive such an important role, which also required singing and dancing?
"Then I will sing "Monica"," Wang Jue said.
"Okay. You are ready and you can start at any time." A happy smile appeared on Xueyou's face.
He also wanted to hear what Wang Jue's version of Monica tasted like.
Looking back now, I still think that this song by my brother is really good. It's the kind of song that you can't help but want to dance along with when you listen to it.
Wang Jue cleared his throat and started his performance:
"You used to love me and love me regardless of everything
Sacrifice your youth to give me glory
Thank you so much for one day you changed me
To offer tenderness without words always makes me feel guilty
ThanksthanksthanksthanksMonica
Who can take your place?
OH I think I was too defensive back then
OH regards sincerity as falsehood
OH when time has passed
Only then did you know that it is precious and you have come to rely on it
I failed you and fell in love with you. This beautiful dream will always be hidden in my heart.
You used to love me and love me regardless of everything
Sacrifice your youth to give me glory
Thank you so much for one day that changed me
To offer tenderness without words always makes me feel guilty
ThanksthanksthanksthanksMonica
Who can take your place?
ThanksthanksthanksthanksMonica
Who can take your place..."
As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone was shocked.
Oh my God.
For a young man with such good acting skills, who would have thought that he would be so arrogant?
If it weren't for taking care of his self-esteem and feelings, the staff at the scene couldn't help but want to cover their ears.
Because the singing is really terrible.
It's not in tune, and there's also a problem with the sense of rhythm.
What's even more frightening is that coupled with his narcissistic expression, it creates a strong contrast, and there are even broken sounds in some places.
Hearing this made people's scalp numb for a while.
"Okay, okay." Chen Kexin interrupted.
Then Wang Jue stopped.
He stood there, straightening his back, watching the teachers waiting for the final result.
"Nice singing."
Xueyou is still very supportive.
"It's just that you are too nervous in some places, resulting in inaccurate pitch. It will be good to practice more in the future. Your tone is very good, and it is a standard baritone. Practicing vocal music may promote your future development." Jacky Cheung still said He was very kind and encouraged the younger generation.
"You can go back and wait for the news. We will notify you of the result within a week. If you do not receive the result after a week, it means that you have not been hired by the crew. Please be sure to keep the interview content confidential after the interview, otherwise we will pursue the appropriate legal action. responsibility."
The female assistant next to Ai Xiaomi said to Wang Jue.
Hearing these words, his heart had already turned cold.
"Okay, thank you teacher, thank you."
Wang Jue thanked several teachers, and then especially thanked Maggie Cheung.
Even if he didn't succeed in the interview, being able to play with Maggie Cheung, and in Days of Being Wild, would be enough for him to brag about for a lifetime.
After that, I interviewed several performers, but Ai Xiaomi was not very satisfied.
Or there is a gap in acting skills, which is also a common problem among these actors nowadays.
Either the singing and dancing ability is indeed somewhat deducted, and it is difficult to find a suitable character for the role.
Ai Xiaomi couldn't help but worry while writing.
Peter Chan also advised her, "You have to be able to sing, dance, and film. It's so easy to find such talent."
"I think, if that doesn't work, let Wa Jai play the role for a while, and then you can replace his face with your brother's, wouldn't it?"
Of course, everyone was just joking and didn't really want to do this.
Rumors in the industry are that Andy's relationship with his brother is not very good, but there seems to be no need for it to be bad.
Although it's just a casual statement, in Ai Xiaomi's case, this is also an alternative.
Chen Kexin said, "I think it is better to find two people to act, one to perform the singing and dancing parts, and the other to perform the filming. This is better and saves time."
If it really doesn't work, you can use this solution.
Ai Xiaomi thought.
In fact, the plan proposed by Chen Kexin is the most pragmatic. After all, it is really difficult to find someone who can sing, dance and act well. Otherwise, there would be only a handful of such superstars in history.
If they are separated, use one for the performers and another for the singers and dancers. Everyone can maximize their abilities in their professional fields. Maybe this will be better for the entire movie.
And to some extent, there is another advantage of separate casting -
That is, in the future, they can also shoot separately. Here, Ai Xiaomi and Chen Kexin can shoot the literary and opera parts, and over there, Xueyou can shoot the singing and dancing parts at the same time. They will not conflict with each other and can save a lot of time.
So Ai Xiaomi regarded this proposal as an alternative.
I interviewed a few more and saw that it was already getting late.
"It's almost 6:30. Let's go to dinner after one more interview." Ai Xiaomi suggested.
"Okay." Jacky Cheung said with a smile.
Maggie Cheung next door has fallen asleep.
The last one to come in was a man who didn't look very young.
Judging from the fine lines at the corners of his eyes, Ai Xiaomi judged that this man was at least 35 years old.
To be honest, Ai Xiaomi didn't have much hope for him when she first saw him.
Because this person looks really ordinary and lacks temperament.
He has small eyes, a flat nose, and ugly teeth when he smiles. He looks a bit like a thin version of Huang Bo, and is even uglier than Huang Bo.
The only thing worthy of praise is that he still maintains a good figure.
He is just a little short, only about 1.7 meters tall.
But for this movie, looks aren't that big of an issue.
Because the entire face can be replaced in the later stage, height is not a big problem. Leslie Cheung himself is not very tall. Although this person is a little shorter than his brother, it is still okay, at least it cannot be seen in the camera.
She lowered her head and saw that the name on the resume was Chen Qiangfu.
Well, the name is quite ordinary, which is in obvious contrast with the previous Wang Jue.
That one looked like a tall, rich and handsome man at first glance. Although the man in front of him had "Qiang Fu" in his name, he didn't look strong or rich at all.
"Please introduce yourself first." Ai Xiaomi still followed the procedure politely.
Although this drama has no requirements for the character's appearance, Ai Xiaomi is a pretty girl.
Ugly people will still be at a slight disadvantage to her. Of course, if you can conquer her with your acting skills, Ai Xiaomi will deal with it impartially and treat you differently in the end.
But people around him are not very optimistic about Chen Qiangfu.
It is mainly influenced by the subjective effect of first impression.
"Hello teachers, my name is Chen Qiangfu. I am 36 years old. I am a literary and artistic worker. I have been engaged in the entertainment industry for almost 10 years."
Although he is middle-aged, to be honest, judging from the previous interviewers, this Chen Qiangfu is closer in age to Leslie Cheung before he left.
Leslie Cheung was 46 years old when he left.
After simply listening to his self-introduction, Ai Xiaomi seemed to have little patience anymore and just wanted to finish early so that he could go to dinner.
This person looks really mediocre, with mediocre looks, mediocre figure, mediocre voice, and his acting career is also smooth. He has been a bit player for ten years and can get a better role. I really don't know. How to say it.
Continuing with the previous interview process, Peter Chan first played him a clip from "Days of Wild" starring Leslie Cheung on the computer.
Then Ai Xiaomi said to him, "From now on, you are Leslie Cheung."
Ai Xiaomi emphasized again, "Remember, it's Leslie Cheung."
When Chen Qiangfu listened at first, he just nodded silently and didn't think anything. When Ai Xiaomi said "Leslie Cheung" again, Chen Qiangfu's brain suddenly buzzed.
It was as if something exploded.
"bring it on."
Chen Qiangfu's eyes changed, becoming both soft and sharp. Something was quietly changing in his eyes.
It's just that no one around him realizes this yet.
"Give him a watch." Ai Xiaomi said.
Chen Qiangfu took the watch and put it on with a friendly and gentle smile on his lips.
"It's still the same watch. It's exactly the same."
After putting on the watch, Maggie Cheung also came from the lounge, preparing to act opposite him.
"Long time no see, brother."
Before the audition started, Maggie Cheung walked up and gave Chen Qiangfu a big hug.
Chen Qiangfu pursed his lips and smiled, then patted her back gently with his hand.
"It's okay, I'm back."
At this moment, Maggie Cheung's body trembled slightly.
"ACTION!" The director's voice came from the side.
Chen Qiangfu and Maggie Cheung once again performed the most classic part of Days of Being Wild.
The two people spoke lines to each other, and their expressions and movements were quite on point.
If you ignore Chen Qiangfu's face, then you will see the shadow of Leslie Cheung in him.
Ai Xiaomi stretched out her hand and silently blocked Chen Qiangfu's head, feeling like something was fainting in her heart.
picture.
alike.
After taking off the face, this temperament, this aura, and this acting skills are really amazing.
Chen Kexin couldn't help but look at this man with admiration.
Despite her unimpressive appearance, she is really presentable when acting, and her temperament and aura are quite well managed.
This scene is very short, but it tests one's acting skills.
However, everyone present was deeply impressed by Chen Qiangfu's acting skills. Except that his face was not worthy of Maggie Cheung, there were no other problems.
And a good actor can bring people into the play.
Ai Xiaomi also had a trance feeling -
It seems that A Fei is standing here.
There seems to be nothing wrong with the real Ah Fei looking like this.
The scene soon came to an end.
Chen Qiangfu asked her nonchalantly, "What's the date today?"
Maggie Cheung replied, "It's the 16th."
Chen Qiangfu nodded, looked up, and said to himself silently, "No, today is not the 16th, it's the 17th, August 17th."
"Wrong, wrong." Jacky Cheung whispered, "The lines were wrong."
The lines, the lines were wrong.
The correct line should be April 16th. Maggie Cheung did not say it wrong just now.
How could this actor temporarily change the lines of someone else's script?
Doesn't he want this role?
The staff nearby had the same idea.
Oops, what a pity, the acting is obviously very good, why do you have to show your own performance in the end?
If you don't give your best, maybe the director will let you go?
but…
The staff members asked themselves, with this man's appearance, he really felt like he couldn't support the male protagonist.
Other than that, there's no problem.
Just when everyone was saying that Chen Qiangfu mispronounced his lines,
However, Ai Xiaomi and Chen Kexin's eyes suddenly lit up.
"That's right, that's it." Ai Xiaomi couldn't suppress her inner joy and stood up excitedly.
She and Chen Kexin looked at each other and smiled, feeling shocked in their hearts.
This is the first man among so many interviewees to understand the essence of casting for this drama.
"Huh?" Jacky Cheung looked confused.
Don't understand what they are talking about.
The lines are obviously wrong.
Why do you say it is right? !
Even Maggie Cheung was shocked by the man in front of her.
You didn't say the lines the director asked you to say, but changed the script yourself?
At this moment, Chen Qiangfu said with a smile: "One minute before 6:35 pm on August 17, 2009, you and I were together. Because of you, I will remember the result." .
We have been friends for a minute since IKEA. This is a fact. You can't catch it because it has already passed. I'll come back later. "
Wow!
Jacky Cheung couldn't help but hug his head, feeling goosebumps all over his body.
He understands now too.
It's a shame that Ai Xiaomi and Chen Kexin didn't tell him the truth beforehand.
