There were eight people sitting in the audition room, with director Hu Defa sitting in the middle. Chen Minhao actually saw an acquaintance, Wei Ming, the director of "The Best Youth", sitting on Hu Defa's left hand side.
There were four photographers filming in the corner of the room with cameras. Generally speaking, auditions cannot be decided on the spot. Many directors will film and record the audition process of each actor, and use the video to screen after the audition.
Director Hu Defa turned the pen in his hand and said to Chen Minhao: "Do you remember the script? You have five minutes to think about which part to perform."
Chen Minhao smiled and said: "It won't take five minutes, I can start now. However, can you turn off a few lights in the room? I want the room to be a little darker."
After director Hu Defa nodded slightly, the staff around him immediately turned off half of the lights in the room.
The room suddenly became a little dark.
Chen Minhao's frown suddenly relaxed, as if he had solved some mathematical problem.
As he walked away, he said: "I don't believe you will kill him. The murderer was hidden here a week ago."
Chen Minhao paused for a few seconds, as if hearing the question, he raised the corners of his mouth slightly and continued: "In "The Secret Room of the Seeker" written by Utano Akira, the murderer hid in the courtyard for a month in order to kill people."
The corners of Chen Minhao's mouth rose even more, and he said, "Holmes said that if all the impossible are eliminated, the remaining ones will be impossible." After a pause, he turned around and said, "It's all the truth."
"Yes, I invited you to audition. On the one hand, it is because Wang Shuang recommended you, and on the other hand, because your college entrance examination scores are good, which is more in line with the high IQ setting of this character." Hu Defa nodded and said, "But Shao Fei The character's intelligence is restrained and in most cases he is dull, so now I hope you can make some cute expressions for me."
The natural expression of various expressions is a basic skill that Chen Minhao often emphasizes in his courses at Beijing Film Academy. Chen Minhao has learned expressions such as happy, angry, angry, frustrated, etc., but this is the first time that Chen Minhao has been asked to perform cute expressions.
Chen Minhao was stunned for a moment because of this request, and his brain was spinning crazily: how should he act cute.
"Is there any problem?" Hu Defa turned the pen in his hand again and asked.
Wei Ming smiled and said, "Director Hu, don't be anxious. You have to give me some time to prepare."
Chen Minhao felt that he might lose points if he continued to think about it. He recalled his expression when his fans were so cute on the barrage and said, "Director Hu, I'm ready."
Hu Defa nodded slightly, indicating that Chen Minhao could start.
Chen Minhao's eyes suddenly became dull. His eyes were no longer staring intently in front of him. Instead, his pupils were dilated, and the expression on his face was a little nervous.
Suddenly Chen Minhao seemed to have encountered something conscious, and looked ahead with curiosity.
Hu Defa nodded and said: "Okay, you can go out first, and come back again during the day tomorrow. The staff will contact you about the specific time to come. Don't arrive early or be late, come on time."
Chen Minhao bowed slightly, said "Thank you", then opened the door and left. The moment the door closed, Director Hu Defa nodded slightly.
Chen Minhao felt that his cute expression at the end was not very good, but he still smiled and left the room. After all, showing he was unhappy at this time was just to make other auditioners laugh.
After Chen Minhao came out, a few more people came to audition. There were no pure newcomers. At least they were all Chen Minhao had seen on the big screen and the small screen. They had familiar faces, but there were no first-line stars. They were all second- and third-tier stars. Little fresh meat.
Everyone's face was full of high morale, and Chen Minhao felt that everyone was destined to win this role. After all, there are really not many scripts with big investment, good directors, outstanding characters, and actors in their early twenties.
Lin Xiuzi nodded slightly from the side and did not come up to ask. After Chen Minhao came out, Kang Hui immediately ended the conversation with an agent, waved to the other party, and got into the car with Chen Minhao.
As soon as Kang Hui got in the car, he asked, "How do you feel?"
Chen Minhao said: "We will come again tomorrow, but the specific time will have to wait for notification. But I heard from Lin Xiuzi that investors in the role of Shao Fei may be inclined to Zhang Xinyi and Jing Yongchang."
Kang Hui nodded and said: "In a movie with an investment of several hundred million yuan, Shao Fei is the second male lead, so after the director nods, the investor can nod again before the decision can be made.
Investing in a movie is a high-risk, high-return commercial investment. Investors will naturally be very cautious and will not give money to the director and then act as a shopkeeper. At least Hu Defeng is not so strong yet.
Especially in the movie "Detective", there are not many scenes without a female protagonist, so the male lead you auditioned for, Shao Fei, becomes even more important. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a double male lead. "
Chen Minhao smiled and said, "I also think this role is very good, so I really want to win it."
Kang returned the flirtation and said, "I will also help you find relationships with investors, but I cannot guarantee that once your acting skills are suitable, you will definitely win the role of Shao Fei. In the entertainment industry, China has There are only a limited number of movies with the potential to become hits.
There will be many people who want to compete with you. Even if you become an actor one day, you may not be able to play the role you want most. But as long as you can leave a good impression on the director, you might get better roles in the future. "
Chen Minhao smiled bitterly and said, "Sister Kang, don't worry. No matter what, since I have been preparing for so long, I will definitely not give up easily."
Kang glared back at him and said: "We haven't reached the point of "no matter what" yet. Many things in the entertainment industry are true or false. You have to believe it or not. If it is really confirmed, I will not let it go." You’ve come to audition.”
Kang Hui lit a cigarette and said meaningfully: "Besides, even if it is decided, there is not really no way to deal with it. By the way, I just heard from others that Wei Ming has now become the assistant director of this movie. He This guy is a very thief, and you have to be careful when dealing with him."
Just as Chen Minhao was about to speak, his phone suddenly rang. He glanced at it and it was Lu Huiping. He glanced at the phone screen to Kang Hui.
Kang raised his eyebrows and said, "Hang up first. Then send him a text message saying that your manager is nearby and it's not convenient to answer the phone now. You can call her back when you get home."
After returning home, Kang Hui sat on the sofa and signaled that Chen Minhao could call her now. After Chen Minhao dialed the phone, he clicked on the speakerphone.
I have been interviewing for the past two days, and I have been battling wits with the interviewer. When I get home tomorrow, my mind will not be able to move. I don’t know why I have the plot in my head, but I just can’t write it out. I’m very slow in arranging words and sentences. . Except for eating, I have been writing almost all the time from 6 o'clock to now, but I only wrote so much, sorry. .
