After eating and going back, Jiang Li spent another whole night studying the characters.
Although he didn't sleep all night, but fortunately this body is young, he just feels a little tired, but his skin is too white, and there is inevitably a light blue color under his eyes.
Ten minutes before the appointment, Jiang Li received a call from Ji Shu, who had already arrived downstairs.
Jiang Li was a little surprised that Ji Shu came to pick him up to go to the set. Even though Jiang Zhan agreed to give him the role, but this kind of pick-up work, ordinary assistants are almost enough, and there is no need for Ji Shu to come by himself.
His question was quickly answered. Ji Shu explained that both Liu Chuandeng and Liu Baizhu played very important roles in the play, especially Liu Chuandeng.
As the biggest villain in the play, Liu Chuandeng is second only to the hero and heroine, and he can be said to be one of the core characters of the whole play. Such an important role requires acting skills, and not ordinary actors can handle it. Therefore, as the main director, Zhou Jin attaches great importance to the casting of this number one character, and he must personally audition for the role candidate.
So Jiang Li needs to go to the audition first this time, instead of making a decision directly.
After Ji Shu finished speaking, the two looked at each other for a few seconds.
Jiang Li thought of Jiang Zhan's full promise to himself the night before yesterday, and the sentence "I hired the crew, why do you say I am" yesterday morning, and quietly spit out three words: "Liar..."
The word "cheat" startled Ji Shu, feeling that something was wrong with the development of the matter, and quickly explained: "That's not the meaning, Mr. Jiang, please don't misunderstand. The main reason is that the situation is a bit special, even if you don't pass the audition , Mr. Jiang will also compensate you from other aspects, and will not let you suffer, you let it go... "
"Stop talking, I know, I understand him." Jiang Li interrupted him with a heavy tone, and nodded with an expression of "I understand, I understand, he can't help himself".
A group president worth hundreds of millions has fallen to the point of cheating. Is it the lack of morality or the loss of human nature
At the same time, Jiang Zhan, who was having a meeting in the company's conference room, suddenly sneezed.
Although Jiang Li didn't say what was in his heart, his eyes expressed everything. From the sentence "I understand him", Ji Shu heard a strong "Although I am very disappointed with the gold master's father, I still have to understand him" a feeling of.
Mr. Jiang is really an understanding person. Ji Shu thought to himself that his impression of Jiang Li had improved a bit, so he took the initiative to change the subject: "Mr. Jiang has painted eyeliner today, and it looks pretty good."
When we met just now, Ji Shu noticed that Jiang Li had drawn eyeliner. The black eyeliner was not thick, but it was slightly elongated at the corners of his eyes, and then picked up half a point. The simple outline made his slightly picky eyes elongated as a whole. Some, the original sparkle suddenly became a little strange.
"Ah, I ticked it randomly, to fit the character." Jiang Li smiled, he didn't have any eyeliner at home, so he made this temporarily with a soft pen.
"I see." Ji Shu nodded. He had also read the original work of "Long River Falling Moon", so it was indeed more in line with Liu Chuandeng's setting.
He took several audition scripts from the back seat of the car to Jiang Li, and asked him to choose one for the audition: "There is still time on the way, you should familiarize yourself with the script first."
"Thank you, you don't need Mr. Jiang Jiang, just call me Jiang Li." Jiang Li said and picked out one of the scripts.
Ji Shu agreed, and stopped disturbing him, started the car and went to the audition location.
When the two arrived there, there were many people waiting in the audition hall, and there was a long queue outside each audition room, and there were a lot of waiting staff.
Jiang Li looked around slightly, and there were many actors lining up who were getting ready, waiting for the staff to call their numbers.
Ji Shu thought about the script that Jiang Li had just received for the audition, and asked intimately, "Do you need to familiarize yourself with the lines?"
"No need." Jiang Li's memory is very good, the audition lines are not too many, he has memorized them all the way, and after a day and a night of research, he also has a little understanding of the two roles to be auditioned.
Ji Shu went to say hello to the production staff, and soon someone came over and led them to the audition room dedicated to Liu Chuandeng and Liu Baizhu.
Compared with other audition rooms, there were not many people outside this audition room, but there were more than a dozen people, including three pairs of twins.
Jiang Li was not surprised by this.
Liu Chuandeng and Liu Baizhu are twins. Although they have different personalities and temperaments, they are exactly the same in appearance. It is not as easy for twins to play two completely different roles.
Just when the two arrived there, the door of the audition room opened from the inside, and a pair of twins came out from the inside. The two had dejected faces, obviously they didn't succeed in the interview.
A staff member who came out behind them saw Ji Shu and took the initiative to say hello, because he had already been notified that he had brought someone over for an audition, so he went in without saying a word.
Jiang Li and Ji Shu then entered the room, leaving the other people waiting for the audition to look at each other and discuss in a low voice.
"Who is that person? How did he jump in line?" one of the actors asked.
"Did you see the one in the white shirt? That's the secretary of President Jiang of the Jiang Group. I haven't seen the other one. Is he also an actor?" Another person also asked curiously.
"What is the origin of the person who can let Mr. Jiang's secretary personally bring the audition?"
"Could it be a default..."
As soon as the door of the audition room was closed, Jiang Li didn't know what the people outside were discussing. As soon as he entered the audition room, he found that the air pressure inside was a bit low.
To be precise, the air pressure of the middle-aged man in the middle of the judging platform was very low, and the other side looked as if he was sinking like water, which made the atmosphere of the whole space very low.
On the desk card in front of the man was written the word "Zhou Jin", that is, the main director of the crew.
Regarding Zhou Jin's information, Jiang Li did some online research last night. Zhou Jin, 49 years old, is a well-known gold medal director in the industry.
Judging from his emotions at this time, it should be that the casting of Liu Chuandeng and Liu Baizhu did not go well.
Ji Shu went over to greet him and introduced Jiang Li by the way.
Jiang Li nodded and said hello to everyone present, with a respectful but not obsequious manner, unlike other auditioned actors, who would take advantage of the opportunity to give each other a compliment when saying hello.
When Zhou Jin saw Jiang Li for the first time, he was surprised at his delicate but unfeminine appearance, and then he took it for granted. Someone who can make his nephew personally say that he wants a role must be good looking.
In addition to Zhou Jin's identity as the director of the crew, another identity is Jiang Zhan's uncle. He disagreed with Jiang Zhan's offer to give the role to Jiang Li, and only agreed to give Jiang Li a chance to audition.
Zhou Jin bluntly said that if it is any other ordinary role, it will not affect the overall situation. Even if the other party has no acting skills, he can turn a blind eye for his nephew's face, but he can't back down for the two roles of Liu Chuandeng and Liu Baizhu, because once If the requirements for the core characters are relaxed, then the effect of this drama will be greatly reduced. Unless he is replaced as the director, there is no need to discuss it.
He sized up Jiang Li, not to mention his acting skills, at least he was satisfied with his appearance, which was in line with his imagination of the twins of the Liu family.
In the original book, the author spent a lot of time describing the outstanding looks of Liu Chuandeng and Liu Baizhu, and piled up all kinds of beautiful words on them. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are the characters with the best looks in the book.
In order to fit the original work and give book fans an intuitive sense of restoration, when Zhou Jin chooses the actors to play them, the first condition is that the appearance must be good! After all, Liu Chuandeng's ability to climb to the position of the governor of the East Factory was inseparable from his appearance in the early stage.
Of course, appearance alone is not enough, acting is also the most important thing, both of which are indispensable, otherwise there are so many good-looking people in the entertainment industry, he wouldn't have been picking and choosing for so long and not being selected.
"Jiang Li, right? Are you ready?"
A woman with disheveled hair next to Zhou Jin asked Jiang Li. The card in front of her said "Huang Lisheng", and she was one of the producers and screenwriters of "Long River Falling Moon".
"Ready." Jiang Li slightly nodded, "Teachers, the content of my audition this time is the plot of Liu Chuandeng's meeting with Liu Baizhu after massacring Shen's family."
As soon as he said this, everyone present was stunned.
"Long River Falling Moon" is a fictional ancient novel, with the background of the 21st fictional Southern Dynasty.
Liu Chuandeng is the biggest villain in the book. He is only in his twenties, but his status is under one person and above ten thousand.
It is mentioned in the book that Liu Chuandeng's family was poor, his father died early, and his mother was the only elder in the family. He was sent to the palace by his mother when he was seven years old, was tortured, and was assigned to the imperial dining room. Later, at the age of eleven, because of his outstanding appearance, he was received by the eunuch in charge of Shangyi. He was tortured and humiliated, and almost died several times.
During the years in the Shangyi Prison, Liu Chuandeng saw and suffered all the dirty tricks deep in the palace, wandering between life and death again and again, he fully understood the importance of rights, and his character changed from innocent and cute at the beginning to cold and cold weird. He was false and obedient, flattering, flattering, and even murdering innocent people. He did all the things he despised at the beginning, stepping on the blood and tears of others and himself, climbing from a plaything at the bottom of the bottom to the position of eunuch in the hands of the chief of ceremonies. Later, he served as the governor of the East Factory and was an extremely human minister.
The experience of Liu Baizhu and Liu Chuandeng is completely opposite. At the age of seven, after Liu Chuandeng was sent to the palace, Mother Liu sent Liu Baizhu to the school with the money from his prostitution.
It was in the school that Liu Baizhu met the hero. The male protagonist is the youngest son of the Murong family, one of the four great families in the Southern Dynasties. He was sent to a country house for self-reflection because he got into trouble in Beijing. 's hero.
Two years later, Liu's mother died in an accidental fire at home, and the hero brought Liu Baizhu home. The Murong family thanked him for saving the hero, adopted him as an adopted son, and sent him to the mountains together to learn art from a teacher.
Liu Baizhu, who was taken care of by his mother since he was a child, and adopted as a foster son by a powerful family after his mother died, never had to worry about food and clothing. He was so high-spirited that he even forgot that he had an elder brother who was sent to the palace because of his family background, until Murong's family sent a letter saying that eunuchs were in power in the world today, and eunuchs mutilated Zhongliang and led to chaos in the court, so the two should return quickly.
The name Liu Chuandeng came into Liu Baizhu's sight again, and he finally remembered his brother whom he hadn't seen for many years.
The audition plot chosen by Jiang Li this time is the first meeting between the two since they separated when they were seven years old. Liu Baizhu witnessed the scene of Liu Chuandeng slaughtering people all over the house with his own eyes.
Zhou Jin has a habit when choosing each core role, that is, in addition to the original audition script, he will prepare several audition scripts, so that those who perform well will draw lots to act. This is also a test of the actor's ability to perform on the spot a part. But he didn't expect that Jiang Li would choose this script when he had the conditions to choose the script.
This is a very difficult scene to perform. In the book, when Liu Chuandeng was the head of the internal supervisor, he asked someone to inquire about Liu's mother and younger brother. He always thought that the two died in the fire that year, but he never thought that the other party would He became the adopted son of the Murong family.
There are two possibilities for choosing this script. One is that they have real skills and know that although this scene is difficult, it is a script that can express a person's acting skills. The other is that they did not even understand the essence of the script.
Whether Jiang Li is the former or the latter, no one present knew, but as soon as his words came out, everyone's eyes were on him. Even Zhou Jin, who had no hope for him at first, suddenly sat up straight Body.
The author has something to say:
Jiang Li: Jiang · Lie Cannon · Zhan...
Jiang Zhan: I'm not, I haven't!
