For a whole week, apart from going to class, going to a variety show on Wednesday, and occasionally paying attention to Wu Hongrong, Chen Minhao went into retreat mode and spent all his time preparing for the "Detective" audition.
Although Chen Minhao succeeded in several auditions in the past, he always felt that he still had some unprepared work. However, this time the director of "Detective" Hu De gave him a longer preparation time, so this was the first time that Chen Minhao felt that I went into the audition very well prepared.
Although the audition for "Detective" was arranged by director Hu Defa on Saturday night, Kang Hui came in the morning, and she also brought two movie scripts.
Chen Minhao briefly browsed and found that the two scripts were both campus youth films. They both talked about the ambiguous feelings between high school men and women, the pressure of college entrance examination review, and the friendship between classmates.
After Chen Minhao read it, he said to Kang Hui: "Let's play these two scripts for a while. The campus youth movies in the past two years are not bloody and no longer have abortions. However, there are too many homogeneous movies, and the audience is a little tired of aesthetics." .”
Kang Hui nodded and said: "The investors of these two movies have said that as long as you nod, you can participate. Originally, these two movies were used as backup tires. After all, we always have to have a backup option." plan."
Chen Minhao thought for a moment and said, "We will talk about this after I audition for "Detective". My main goal now is to win "Detective". I think this movie will be a hit."
Chen Minhao put a lot of effort into "Detective": on the one hand, he studied the character he played, and on the other hand, he studied the script of "Detective". Chen Minhao has been taking "Film Analysis" for several months, and he has formed his own methodology for film analysis:
Judging from the script, there are a lot of laughs, but it is not a happy and lively comedy in the traditional sense. As the plot progresses, the reasoning and investigation parts are constantly enlarged, and clues and details appear one by one. In the end, there are twists and turns, causing the drama elements to become an auxiliary to the movie.
In fact, many cases in comedies are full of loopholes to serve the plot, but the cases in "Detective" have relatively reasonable motives and strict logic.
The audition took place at a photography base in Kyoto. According to Kang Hui, Hu Defa seemed to be filming a charity film here during the day, and then organized auditions here at night.
Chen Minhao nodded and said: "Sister Kang, you can help me keep an eye out for any opportunities to shoot public service advertisements. To be honest, my exposure this year is a bit low. I think it is quite appropriate to shoot some public service advertisements, which will give me some exposure." , positive image, short shooting time.”
Kang Hui rolled his eyes and said: "You also know that your exposure is relatively low, so you should post more on Weibo. I almost feel sorry for your fans. Posting on Weibo once a week does not necessarily mean posting photos.
By the way, Joya from Burberry contacted me yesterday. She said she wanted you to take a group of street photos, and the shooting location would be in your university, because Burberry wants to launch a product line that is biased towards young people. After you finish these two Prepare after the audition. "
Chen Minhao hesitated for a moment and asked: "Does it have to be filmed in Beijing Film Academy? I think filming in school feels a bit like showing off my wealth. I want to be a little more low-key in school."
Kang thought about it and said, "Let me communicate with her again. In fact, you and the ordinary students of Beijing Film Academy are originally from two different worlds. The more popular you are in the future, the further you will find that you are farther away from ordinary people. You don't need to care too much. their feelings.
After all, if a person is excellent, it is unrealistic for others to want him to hide his light. If you think about it from another perspective, you are motivating them. "
Chen Minhao said: "I'm afraid of over-motivating them and causing them to do some drastic actions. I'm afraid of death. Especially when Burberry's photographer Li Li is here, I take pictures of him to make fun of them."
Kang Hui laughed twice and said, "Okay, I'll communicate with Joya again."
Chen Qiang, who was driving, suddenly said: "Brother Hao, Sister Kang, now Brother Hao doesn't need me to follow him in class. I just thought I would learn more. I asked Sister Xiaoshuang to recommend me a few books, but I I find that I feel like falling asleep when I read a book...
I may be the type with a simple mind and well-developed limbs, but on my way back in the afternoon, I received a flyer for a martial arts course. I want to study during Brother Hao’s class time, so that if Brother Hao encounters something bad in the future, I can be of some use.
The class location is opposite Beihang University. If Brother Hao calls me for something at school, I can rush over immediately. Do you think that’s okay? "
Chen Minhao was the first to speak and said: "Okay, it's a good thing to be motivated. Learn more about your skills and say less to ask for help. How much is the tuition? I'll pay for it for you."
Ever since Chen Minhao made the plan to buy a house, the 30 million yuan expense was there, and Chen Minhao became less and less concerned about such sporadic expenses.
When Kang Hui heard that Chen Qiang was willing to learn martial arts, he looked happy and said, "Let's do this. I'll help you find a teacher, and the fees will go out of the studio's account."
Chen Qiang turned his head, looked at the two of them and said gratefully: "Thank you, Brother Hao, thank you Sister Kang."
Kang Hui stared and said, "Drive well and watch the road."
Chen Minhao wore a white shirt today as described in the script. When he arrived at the audition location, he found that the five male stars present were all wearing white shirts.
Chen Minhao nodded to a few people as a greeting, then sat on a chair and waited for his number to be called.
He didn't expect that Lin Xiuzi would also come.
Lin Xiuzi trotted over as soon as he entered the door and said, "I was so worried that after I told you, you told me that you would come to audition for this role. But I didn't expect that you would come too without telling you."
Lin Xiuzi obviously has not recovered from the shock of "The River Flows Quietly" last time.
Lin Xiuzi lowered her voice and said: "After seeing you, I feel like I have lost. Hey, but my acting skills are mediocre to begin with. Now that I have filmed two thunder dramas, hey, I won't talk about it anymore."
Lin Xiuzi then sent a WeChat message to Chen Minhao on his mobile phone: "I was originally here to make soy sauce, and I was familiar with the director, but I heard that the investment role of this film was initially decided to be one of two people, Zhang Xinyi and Jing Yongchang. You need your agent to build good relationships with investors."
Chen Minhao nodded, indicating that he already knew. He knew that now was not the time to talk to Kang Hui about this. The most important thing now was the audition.
When it was Chen Minhao's turn to audition, the director of "Detective" Wu Defa did not specify a segment and asked Chen Minhao to act. Instead, let him choose his own performance clips and let him judge for himself which important scenes in the entire drama best reflect the character's characteristics.
Thus, choose an important shot to perform.
Chen Minhao was stunned for a moment and thought: This director doesn't follow the routine, but he likes it.
