Tomorrow Film and Television, Artist Gym.
A muscular young man was trotting on a treadmill, hot sweat slid down the lines of his arms, full of masculinity.
Manager An Qi walked in quickly and shouted, "Bian Jin, I've already got the list."
The young man on the treadmill slowed down, and it was exactly what the other party was talking about. He looked sideways, "Show me."
An Qi handed over the folder in his hand, which contained a total of eight pages of personal information, all of which were about to participate in today's movie "Special Operations" audition list.
Eight actors compete for the role of 'Chen Xi'.
With downcast eyes, he flipped through the actor's profile page by page. His manager, An Qi, stood on the side and took the initiative to say, "Basically, they are all new faces. Three of them have debuted for a year or two, but none of them have made any splashes."
Bian Jin turned to the last page, he was the 'opponent' actor advertised to him by the outside world when he debuted at the same time.
However, now he has been nominated for Best Actor in the Baixiang Awards and China Entertainment Awards, and the other party is still a young actor struggling at the bottom.
The gap between the two was instantly widened.
Bian Jin didn't think that the interviewed actors had good quality, so he curled his lips calmly and willfully. He stopped the treadmill and threw the documents into the trash can, "They don't deserve to compete with me for the role of Chen Xi."
Originally, he got the internal audition qualification, and also successfully won the favor of producer Qin Li, director Yao Chuan and screenwriter Fang Zhixing.
However, when they signed the official contract for the actor's filming, they had a little disagreement.
Bian Jin's management team originally thought that with such a big production and a good script, there must be first-line or even top actors competing for the male lead.
Bian Jin has only debuted for two years, and his status is not as good as the top "male lead" actors, nor can he be as good as the top-notch Yuan Feifei who plays the villain. Under such circumstances, they can barely accept the third place in the movie.
But it wasn't until signing the contract that they discovered that Ji Yunqi had been chosen to play the core male lead of the script, Song Ran, who was just an unknown junior who hadn't officially debuted yet.
Now, Bian Jin and his team cannot accept being suppressed.
After all, he is also an actor who has been nominated for the best actor. Can Ji Yunqi, a young rookie who has no works, compare to him? If it gets out, where will he put his face in the film industry? What a bargain!
Therefore, Bian Jin's management team made a request to Qin Li and other producers according to his own wishes—they want to be treated differently from Yuan Ji, that is, the same treatment as a movie.
As soon as this proposal was exported, it was coldly rejected by Qin Li.
The man said, "The ranking of the movie is based on the importance of the roles, and should not be influenced by the worth of the actors."
Bian Jin had a "closed door" here, but she still didn't give up. She was stuck with a formal contract and didn't sign it, deliberately saying that she would think about it again.
After a stalemate between the two sides for almost a week, they got the news that the producer was going to re-audit and cast a secret role.
An Qi handed him the clean towel on the side, and frowned slightly, "Bian Jin, I think we still have to give in to Qin Li at the right time? This movie itself is very rare, even if we don't get it, we Take a double, and the actual performance will still be counted after the movie is released."
"Let's talk about it after their audition in the afternoon. It's strange that these crooked melons and cracked dates can be selected. Qin Li has such strict requirements for the play, so he won't leave my original version to ask for these defective products."
Even if someone in this list is really lucky to be selected, he can get it back with his status.
Ji Yunqi, the male protagonist of this movie, can't handle the box office yet.
Yuan Jifei's popularity is good, but his role this time is out of his previous comfort zone. If the performance fails, the movie will be ruined in half.
Bian Jin casually glanced at the list in the trash can, and pursed her lips, "These people's acting skills can't compare to mine, and their box office popularity can't compare to mine."
Qin Li is an actor with excellent acting skills, and also a producer who values box office profits.
It's not that Bian Jin is too confident in herself, but the fact is in front of her eyes, "At present, no one is more suitable for the role of Chen Xi than me."
The same goes for appearance.
Bian Jin is different from ordinary Xiaosheng, she made her debut with a "hard-faced" image, and is most suitable to play a resolute police officer like Chen Xi.
After hearing what he said, An Qi nodded in relief and agreement, "Alright then, I'll have someone call the production team as soon as the audition is over in the afternoon. I have to overwhelm Ji Yunqi twice."
The latter is just a newcomer, Qin Li, will not even give this little face, right
Bian Jin took a sip of water, "Okay, I'll take a shower first."
"it is good."
…
At two o'clock in the afternoon, on the eighteenth floor of the Jinmao Building in Haishi, a tense casting audition was quietly unfolding.
In the reception hall outside, eight actors arrived at the same time, and entered the audition room inside one by one according to the order in which the staff reported.
In less than five minutes, the first rookie actor who was called in came out with a disheartened face.
After the second actor called and entered, the rest of the talent rushed forward, "Hello, can you tell us what's going on inside?"
"Who is watching the audition? Is the content of the performance random?"
This rookie actor is a freshman in the film and television industry of Brilliant Media, and this time he was originally brought in by his own company to try his luck. He didn't have a heart, and told everything about the situation in the inner room.
"Mr. Qin Li, director Yao Chuan, and screenwriter Mr. Fang Zhixing are all in there, and even Mr. Yuan Jifei is also there, and there is an unfamiliar face next to him, who is said to be the male lead of the movie that has been confirmed."
Someone couldn't help exclaiming, "My God, so many big names?"
Generally speaking, film auditions are casting directors and general staff at best. Before they came again, they all knew the importance of this movie audition.
If the audition is successful, maybe you can soar into the sky.
But they didn't expect that it would be very difficult for the big bosses to get selected this time.
The rookie actor sighed, "Come on, I'm leaving first."
He didn't dare to say frankly that Mr. Qin Li asked him to play against the "male lead" of the movie, but the other party's sense of drama was too strong, and he couldn't handle it at all, so he said two or three lines in a hurry and was called "card" '.
After all, he was the No. 1 player in his company in the same period. He didn't expect to realize the gap between himself and others after he came here.
The road of the film and television industry is actually really difficult.
Before the crowd dispersed, the second actor also walked out with red faces, and the speed of failure was faster than the first one—
For today's audition, he specially asked the staff to put on full makeup and hairdo, but as soon as he entered, he heard Qin Li frowning and questioning.
"The role that asked you to audition is an anti-narcotics police officer, not a little idol on stage! You can't even figure out the personal design, and you don't have the sense of belief that an actor should have when creating a character. What did your company ask you to come here? Get out!"
"..."
Qin Li is well-known and well-known in the circle, but he is also known for his strictness towards actors and dramas.
The actor was questioned so ashamed that he didn't dare to stay inside for a second, and hurriedly bowed and left.
What? Immediate pass if the external image is not enough
Three or four actors couldn't sit still when they heard this. They all put on heavy makeup that they thought were handsome and charming.
These actors immediately called their assistants, asked for makeup removers and ran to the toilet. They tried to make themselves more rigid in a short time, in order to conform to the image of a police officer.
It's a pity that being in a hurry on the spot will only make me more nervous during the audition.
Over the next hour, one actor after another leaves the audition building until it's all over.
In the inner audition room, the atmosphere was also tense.
Fang Zhixing flipped through the list of actors, shook his head and sighed, "There is no one else, Li Ze was the last one just now."
And Li Ze was the number one 'opponent' who had spent two years at the bottom of the film industry and was the most reserved. It's a pity that the career gap between the two is not sporadic.
"Among the eight people, when it comes to acting skills, Li Ze is slightly stronger. The others are all newcomers who have debuted not long ago or even before their debut. There is no way to compare acting skills and experience."
As a director, Yao Chuan said with emotion that acting talent is something that not everyone can have.
However, Ji Yunqi here is one of them.
During the audition some time ago, the other party's ability to comprehend and control the role was beyond their expectations.
Yao Chuan specially called Ji Yunqi and Yuan Jifei over today, and asked them to play against these audition actors. In the same role, the performance of the former became more stable every time, obviously he was born to eat acting.
"Li Ze can't do it." Qin Li's eyes showed disapproval, "He can't handle the drama that has already happened."
Yuan Jifei heard this, and silently met Ji Yunqi's eyes.
Today's audition session is divided into two rounds. The actors who come in will have a round with Ji Yunqi first, and if their performance is stable, they will have a round with Yuan Jifei.
Yuan Feifei expressed his true thoughts, "When I play against them, I find it boring to talk about the lines myself."
The aura between actors is a very subtle existence. When excellent actors stay together, they can always be strong when they meet the strong, and they are closely connected with each other to perform at their best.
But if you encounter an actor who can't handle the scene, the effect will be greatly reduced. The effect of the unilateral crushing of the scene is actually very ugly.
In the movie, the role of Chen Xi and Shi Ye, played by Yuan Feifei, have two explosive rivalry scenes. In terms of casting, acting skills cannot be much worse than the latter.
"After all, Bian Jin is more suitable?" Fang Zhixing said.
Qin Li closed the actor's profile, "Anyway, I don't plan to use him anymore. An actor who is obsessed with his role and his team behind him are not in line with my concept of treating movies. If I back down this time, I won't know in the future. What kind of trouble is going to happen."
The goal is to make a good movie together, not to be covered up by a mere 'useless' title.
Yao Chuan echoed, "I agree that an actor's heart should be to perform a good show, rather than be bound by external interests. Who started the idea of "Fan Wei"? Back then, there was no such thing as an actor in the film industry. Bullshit talk."
"Qin Li, do you want to expand the scope of your acting skills?" Yuan Jifei thought for a while, and made a suggestion, "It is actually difficult to guarantee acting skills for newcomers who have not debuted, or new faces who have debuted for a year or two."
Talented actors are rare, and more capable actors are accumulated through years of shooting experience.
Qin Li rubbed the center of his brows, and a figure suddenly appeared in his mind.
In fact, as a new face in the film industry who has just debuted and has good acting skills, he has always had a suitable candidate in his heart, but...
While Qin Li was meditating, there was a knock on the door of the room, and the staff asked outside, "Teachers, is there another actor who auditioned today?"
Yao Chuan slapped his forehead suddenly, "Look at my memory, I almost forgot to tell you..."
Halfway through, he shouted to the staff outside, "Let him come in and get ready!"
Everyone in the room looked puzzled, and Qin Li took the initiative to ask, "Director Yao, which actor did you call?"
As soon as the voice fell, the door of the room was pushed open.
The person who came was wearing a black sports suit and a peaked cap on his head.
He stood quietly and obediently inside the door, quickly took off his mask, and showed a slight smile, "Teachers, I'm actor Ji Li, and I'm here to audition."
Except for Yao Chuan who already knew about it, everyone else was shocked.
Ji Li stepped forward calmly, and handed the prepared actor information to Qin Li and the others, before returning to the marked audition spot on the ground.
Ever since Ji Li entered the door, Qin Li's gaze has been fixed on him. He pinched the information document with his fingertips without any trace, but he didn't rush to open it.
Because, he knows all the performing arts information about the youth after his debut.
As early as two months ago, at the beginning of filming, he discussed with Yao Chuan, Fang Zhixing and others the feasibility of Ji Li's participation in the film, but unfortunately, they finally rejected this idea.
It's not because Ji Li's acting skills are bad, but they all feel that the temperament of youth is too soft, not suitable for such a resolute and rigid role.
What's more, Ji Licai and Yao Chuan have collaborated in "The Great Youth", and the TV series is still on the air.
In a short period of time, working with the same director twice is actually not conducive to the development of actors. Being under the behavior framework of the same director for a long time, the actor's performance form can easily become stereotyped.
They all valued Ji Li's future development, so they temporarily decided to leave this candidate aside.
However, Qin Li's selfish intention is to cooperate with Ji Li again. He still has a script in preparation and will start filming in the second half of the year, and the young man is the most suitable male lead in his mind.
Qin Li and Ji Li met their gazes, feeling that he had become a little different today. Soon, he noticed the subtle changes in the other party, "Did you deliberately turn black?"
There was a trace of surprise in Ji Li's eyes, and he couldn't help but nodded with a smile, "Qin... Teacher Qin Li has good eyesight, I asked the makeup artist to use a darker liquid foundation to cover up my original skin color."
Chen Xi, the character he wants to audition for, is an anti-narcotics police officer. He has to train hard every day in the team, and exposure to wind and sun is common.
The original owner's skin is so good, it will make the whole temperament very soft. Ji Li can't get tanned for a while, so she can only change her 'external conditions' with makeup.
The lighting in the room is a little dim, and if you don't look carefully, you can't tell it at all.
When the others heard the conversation between the two, they realized that this was really the case—the young man was a little 'darker' than the impression he had when they met last time, and he seemed a little more mature.
Yao Chuan was not stingy with his praise, "The role research is good."
I tried so many people just now and couldn't find the right one, so it's better to let the young people try it. Leaving aside the so-called 'soft' temperament, the other party's acting skills are at least completely qualified.
In the film and television industry, it is not uncommon for actors to change their inner temperament by acting.
Ji Li curled his lips slightly.
Not only that, but after seeking the approval of Yu Fuya and his company team, he also made a bolder move.
"Why are you wearing a hat all the time?"
Qin Li's inquiry sounded, and his gaze never left Ji Li in front of him—no, it's not just the change in appearance and skin color.
Ji Li was asked the key again by him, and took off his hat with a smile.
For a moment, everyone showed a look of shock, including Qin Li, who was always calm in situations.
The young man actually shaved his hair short, both sides were shaved very short, and the hair in the middle was deliberately thinned and cut short, completely exposing his beautiful forehead.
Although it is not as round as the ones seen in the police force, but with the change of hairstyle, his temperament is completely different!
It is said that the cropped cut is the best standard to test whether a boy is handsome, and this point has been completely confirmed by Ji Li.
In this case, the youth's natural bone advantages are fully highlighted, and the deliberately darker skin tone sets off a more perfect face shape.
The young man's appearance was still as handsome and eye-catching as ever, but when he looked closely, he was a little tough and handsome.
If it is said that the "handsome" in the past will attract the love of women, then the "handsome" now can be recognized by men.
Obviously the same person, but before and after showing completely different charm.
Yuan Jifei sighed in the same way, and couldn't help asking, "Ji Li, did you change your hairstyle specially for the role audition?"
There are not many star actors in the entertainment circle who have never shaved their bodies, but it is rare to see an artist like Ji Li who is on the rise in his career and has a lot of fans.
Ji Li nodded and gave an affirmative answer.
Ji Yunqi was completely dumbfounded, the villain in his heart jumped three feet high, and even wanted to rush up and circle around Ji Li—
God knows, he has always wanted to try a flat cut, but he was afraid that it would affect his appearance after shaving, so he couldn't make up his mind to try it after all.
Met at the company yesterday, the other party still had the original hairstyle, and in just one day, he made a change for the audition role
Such Ji Li looks handsome, and his courageous actions are also handsome!
He is indeed a handsome and cool man who has been personally certified by him!
Qin Li suppressed the exclamation in his heart, and asked in a low voice, "What if you can't get the role audition? Just change the hairstyle, isn't it too much sacrifice?"
"What does it matter? It's not like I shaved my head bald. Now this length is enough, and it will grow back soon."
Ji Li didn't take this change as an important matter at all.
He is willing to change his external image appropriately for the role.
"Whether it's an audition or a formal shooting, an actor needs a sense of belief in shaping every role. If you can't 'become' the role itself, how can you convince the audience that I can play well?"
Ji Yunqi heard the three words 'sense of faith' spoken by the young man, and unconsciously glanced at Qin Li, thinking to himself—
Hey, isn't this what Teacher Qin Li said to the newcomers in the audition just now? Sure enough, excellent actors have a common understanding of acting.
A sense of faith? This word is good, he has to go home and take a small notebook to write it down.
Ji Li, who was standing in place, continued, "As long as I try my best to win this role, it doesn't matter whether I succeed or not."
There are so many excellent actors these days, if this audition is not successful, he will not feel surprised or sad.
Ji Li paused for a moment, glanced at the eyes of everyone, and curled his lips calmly, "Of course, it would be the best if I can succeed. Good crew, who doesn't want to go in with their own ability
Faced with his answer, Qin Li couldn't suppress the smile in his heart.
What should he do with him
Such Ji Li simply made him unable to resist.
He remembered his status as a producer who treated everyone equally, and had no choice but to tell Ji Li duplicity, "Whether you can take this role, we will find out after we finish watching the show."
"Okay, Teacher Qin Li." Ji Li's reply was also very serious, since he entered the door, he didn't even call him 'Brother Li'.
Qin Li sighed softly and smiled, then turned to ask Yuan Jifei, "Get ready, the two of you will play directly later."
Fang Zhixing and Yao Chuan looked at each other and agreed in agreement. With Ji Li's acting skills, there is really no need for them to have two separate rounds of performance assessment.
Ji Yunqi, who was ignored, didn't feel any 'disrespect', on the contrary, he felt that this was the right thing to do.
He has seen Ji Li's performance in the movie, the recent hit "The Big Boy", and he also secretly hid in his room to catch up.
Ji Li's acting skills are something he admires and wants to surpass.
Yuan Jifei heard Qin Li's words, and immediately stood up eagerly, "Finally, I have the opportunity to act with Ji Li."
God knows, ever since he watched the farewell scene of the 'Song Brothers' on the film set, he has always wanted to have a scene with Ji Li.
Yuan Feifei handed over the content of the game on the table, "Ji Li, this is..."
"Wait." Qin Li interrupted, "Don't act this time."
Qin Li picked up the tablet device on the side, turned the electronic script to a key scene according to his memory, and made a request, "Two people prepare for ten minutes at the same time, and directly act in this confrontation scene between two characters."
Yuan Jifei was stunned for a moment before he realized, "Isn't it? It's just an audition, and that's all you have to do?"
Qin Li asked back, "Didn't you say that the previous scenes were boring? This scene just refreshed you."
Yuan Jifei shrugged, and quickly accepted, "All right, I brought the script myself, you can use the electronic script for Ji Li."
Ji Li, as an audition actor, cannot predict the content of any scenes.
So for him, all the scenes are brand new, and if the scenes are more difficult, it can even stimulate his desire to challenge.
Ji Li quickly stepped forward to take the tablet from Qin Li's hand, and looked at the script of the upcoming play.
In an instant, his eyes lit up.
