Li Weiguo was stunned for a moment, then coughed and said, "Chen Minhao, right? Come on, act out this part and give it a try. Is 1 minute of preparation time enough?" After he finished speaking, he tapped with his fingers A piece of paper on the desktop.
As soon as he finished speaking, a staff member next to him handed an A4 paper to Chen Minhao's hand.
After Chen Minhao quickly browsed the contents of this A4 paper, he closed his eyes.
In less than 30 seconds, Chen Minhao opened his eyes, chuckled softly, and said, "Go back to China? Of course I want to go back to China."
"Although I'm cool in the United States, nothing compares to being at home!" Chen Minhao held up his gold-rimmed eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "Now that the Anti-Japanese War is over, it's time to pick up gold everywhere in the country. I have What’s the reason not to go back?”
"Even if my family objects, I will go back." Chen Minhao made a gesture of lighting a cigar in a non-physical performance, then took off his gold-rimmed glasses, looked into the distance, and said, "I must let them know that I am in the United States. It’s not just eating, drinking, whoring, gambling, and messing around.”
After he finished speaking, he threw the cigarette butt on the ground without any physical performance, and then crushed it with his foot.
After the performance, Chen Minhao bowed deeply towards the audition and interview officials.
Chen Minhao switches between two states of arrogance, arrogance and politeness, and can switch freely between performance and himself.
Jiang Siyuan said with satisfaction: "Okay, you did a good job in grasping the emotions of the character. You conveyed the 'arrogance' of old money very well. Recently, many actors have come to audition for this role and they have all acted explosively. household. They only paid attention to Wang Lingkan’s ridiculous past in the United States, but ignored the subconscious words and deeds of his parents and family to him.”
Li Weiguo has always had a cold face from the moment he walked in until now. Chen Minhao thought to himself, is he dissatisfied with me? Or is it his personal style to be unsmiling.
"Chen Minhao...right? Please wait in the next room for a while." Li Weiguo suddenly spoke.
Chen Minhao nodded quickly and said, "Okay, but what I want to do next is...?"
Li Weiguo took a slow sip of Dahongpao and said, "There will be a scene later, and you have to go through it with the actor who auditioned Jiang Aiguo. It just so happens that he will come over later, so you won't have to make a second trip."
Chen Minhao responded softly: "Okay." He was led by a little girl to the small room next to him.
The layout of the small room is relatively simple, with only two sofas and a small coffee table in the middle.
Chen Minhao glanced at the trash can next to the small coffee table. He saw a lot of disposable paper cups. He estimated that several actors had been in this room today, but he was not sure whether the role they were auditioning for was also Wang Lingkan.
The little girl blushed and asked, "What do you want to drink first? Coke, coffee, and Director Li's Dahongpao?"
Chen Minhao quickly waved his hand and said: "Just plain water." Chen Minhao glanced at the trash can and saw that there was no residue of any colored liquid. Chen Minhao himself did not want to be special.
After a while, the little girl came over with two disposable paper cups. She smiled shyly and said, "I forgot to ask you if you wanted hot or cold, so I took one cup each."
Chen Minhao grinned and said, "You are too considerate. By the way, what is your name?"
The little girl's cheeks turned red and she said, "Tang Wanru."
Because of the name Tang Wanru, Chen Minhao suddenly thought of a certain film and television work in his previous life: a female badminton player with strong muscles. She was born with the rough and bold appearance of a northern girl, but her heart is as gentle as a Jiangnan girl. The little girl in front of me looks very cute.
Chen Minhao said in a praising tone: "This name is very good. There is a saying in "The Book of Songs": 'There is a beautiful person, as graceful as a clear appearance.'"
Tang Wanru smiled proudly and said, "When I was just born, my grandfather read the Book of Songs many times before settling on this name. But Chen Minhao, you are so knowledgeable. There are very few boys of the same age who can name me." The origin of the name.”
Chen Minhao asked: "Do you have anything else to do? Stop standing and sit down and talk to me."
Tang Wanru asked nervously and with some surprise, "What do you want to do? I have a boyfriend."
Chen Minhao smiled helplessly and said, "I was just auditioning, and I was a little nervous. I wanted to find someone to talk to to relieve the stress."
Tang Wanru breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had finished an extremely difficult multiple-choice question. She sat down and said comfortingly: "Don't be nervous. The role of Wang Lingkan has been played by many people before, but only one person entered the second round like you." wheel."
Chen Minhao leaned forward and asked curiously: "Who is the other person?"
Tang Wanru struggled for a second between adhering to the principles of organizational discipline and the surge in her heart, and said, "The other person is Gu Kai."
Seeing Chen Minhao's confused face, Tang Wanru introduced him thoughtfully: "Gu Kai is an actor who has collaborated with Li Weiguo a lot. He mainly plays anti-Japanese dramas."
Tang Wanru suddenly lowered her voice and said: "However, when I heard Director Li and Director Jiang discussing, they both meant that this person is too old and can only be used as a second choice, which is what we often call a spare tire. ."
Chen Minhao smiled faintly and said: "Older people have more acting experience. Do you know who the actor who will audition with Jiang Aiguo is?"
Tang Wanru shook her head and said, "There are too many actors auditioning for Jiang Aiguo, and I don't know which one will play with you. I'm sorry."
Chen Minhao smiled and said, "It's okay. I see you've been busy for a long time, would you like some water." After saying that, Chen Minhao handed the warm water to Tang Wanru.
Tang Wanru felt that Chen Minhao had a very good temper and was too gentle.
Chen Minhao hadn't even finished a glass of water when a staff member knocked on the door and said, "The person you are starring in has arrived. Director Li asked you to come over as soon as possible."
As soon as Chen Minhao entered the audition room, he saw He Li, a male artist from the same company.
As soon as He Li saw Chen Minhao, he greeted him warmly and said, "Chen Minhao, what a coincidence that you are here too."
Chen Minhao grinned and said, "This is all fate!"
Director Li Weiguo lightly tapped the table with his fingers and said: "This is for you to audition, not just for small talk. You want to go out and chat."
Director Li Weiguo turned to the staff and said: "Xiao Song, please wait and ask them to sign the confidentiality agreement." After saying that, he turned back and said to the two of them: "All the details of the audition on the crew, especially the content of the script. You need to sign a confidentiality agreement, and if you two have any objections, you can leave now."
Chen Minhao and He Li said in unison: "No problem."
