Friendship is friendship, no matter how happy Mei Zihan and Will are chatting, you still have to try it yourself for the part that should be auditioned.
Although Mei Zihan didn't know what kind of role he was going to play until now.
Mei Zihan also felt that the character of Feng was indeed gay, but he couldn't stand the fact that this character was interesting. And according to Director Will, he has the ambition to make this TV series for seven or eight seasons. The struggle between church knights and kingdom knights, plus vampires, witches, oriental merchants, is really attractive enough.
If Director Will can grasp so many characters and plots, then this drama will definitely become a hit.
Audiences all over the world have similar tastes.
Such an interesting role, if she missed it, Mei Zihan would definitely regret it.
"The previous words are all the summary of the previous situation. This is Feng's inner monologue. Let me see your line skills and acting skills." The director handed the note with the lines written to Mei Zihan.
Don't look at the anxious director Will, but the writing skill is really not bad.
Mei Zihan took a look at the note and raised his eyebrows slightly.
There are only lines, without any other hints, just relying on some words from Director Will to shape the role of Feng, which is as difficult as letting a person deal with a martial arts master with bare hands.
But the more difficult it is, the more challenging it is.
Mei Zihan prepared for about ten minutes, memorized the lines, and then made the paper of the lines into a small folding fan.
"My workmanship is not bad." Mei Zihan glanced at the shabby little folding fan, smiled, and then said to Director Will, "It's time to start."
Director Will couldn't help but smile as he looked at the small props Mei Zihan made, "Let's start."
———————
Mei Zihan held his folding fan in his hand, did not open it, but patted the palm of his hand with the folding fan one after another.
A lonely look suddenly appeared on his face, his eyes wandered, as if he was thinking about something. The fingers of his left hand rubbed the folding fan lightly, and then sighed subtly.
Mei Zihan lowered his head and slowly opened the folding fan. He paced back and forth in the room, taking a writing posture. Taking a closer look, I found that Mei Zihan's writing posture was actually using a quill pen.
He threw the quill in his hand, and then took out another pen.
Mei Zihan rolled up the non-existent sleeve of his right hand with his left hand, and then wrote something on the folding fan with the non-existent brush.
After finishing writing, a pain flashed in Mei Zihan's eyes, and then he tore the folding fan in half.
After coming to this country for so many days, he can't even write with a brush
Mei Zihan squatted down and carefully put the folding fan together.
"I miss the snacks in my hometown very much." Mei Zihan put together the folding fan, his face turned slightly, showing his delicate chin, "I have nothing to say about my past. Now I have become a sinner in my country. I will be exiled forever and ever. Once I step into the homeland again, I will be beheaded as a prisoner."
Speaking of this, Mei Zihan couldn't help but burst out laughing, but no matter how you looked at it, there was a sad taste in this smile.
"So what if you are half-human and half-vampire? Don't humans and vampires live in the same country? Isn't everything you look at familiar to you? For me, being in the Being in a familiar environment is already the greatest sense of security. I don't care whether you are a human or a vampire."
Mei Zihan paused, as if he was waiting for the other party's answer, then a reserved smile appeared on his face, and his eyes became proud again.
"I have no roots in this country, and I have no relatives. You are my only friend. You are my good brother. If I don't help you, who can I help? As for the people of the Holy Knights you mentioned, they dare to come , I will let them go and never return!"
The words "There is no return" were said by Mei Zihan in Chinese. Mei Zihan lowered his voice, making these four words have a special deterrent force.
He waited for Mei Zihan to finish his lines, and stayed where he was for about ten seconds, but there was still no response from the audience.
"My performance is over." Mei Zihan reminded in a low voice.
"Is that all I'm thinking about the lines?" Will couldn't react at first, and then he laughed.
"Did you translate the last words you said just now based on my lines?"
"Yes." Mei Zihan nodded, "It's just a little personal setting of mine. I think occasionally interspersing some Chinese in the lines will make this character appear more three-dimensional."
Since it is assumed that Lifeng misses his homeland all the time, it is impossible for him to speak in English all the time. In private, even when he says some secret words, he may unconsciously bring out some Chinese. .
Director Will was not dissatisfied with Mei Zihan's temporary translation of these four words. On the contrary, he liked Mei Zihan's performance very much.
"This change is great, it fits the character very well, and I will write it down." Will nodded in agreement.
Mei Zihan's performance was beyond Will's expectations.
But when Mei Zihan made a folding fan out of the paper on which this line was written, and prepared this small prop for himself, Will knew that this was a good actor.
Sometimes, if an actor can properly use some small props, then these small props will become the characteristics of these characters, and also become the point for the audience to remember this character.
But in this way, he might have to buy dozens of different kinds of folding fans here before going back.
Immediately afterwards, Mei Zihan's performance surprised him even more.
Will believes that Jiang Ying is already a talented actor. When he was in school, almost all the professors liked this hardworking and talented young Chinese student. It's a pity that his old classmate didn't intend to enter the entertainment circle. When the news came, the actors and classmates who were studying with Jiang Ying were very disappointed.
That would be a waste of the talent God gave him.
Until now, Will still thinks so.
Mei Zihan also has aura, but this aura cannot be said to be outstanding. Will can see that Mei Zihan has not yet formed his own unique acting style. In other words, he is still on his ascent.
But not all actors can fully tap their potential.
Mei Zihan's performance has both the publicity of Western Hollywood and the subtlety of the East. His line skills are also very good. This is what surprised Director Will the most.
Even if ordinary Chinese actors can speak English very fluently, it is difficult for them to express their feelings accurately in another language.
Mei Zihan was quite clever in acting.
He knew that it was actually more difficult to pronounce the last line with lethality, so he directly used Chinese to fit the character.
This is really a clever handling move.
Now the whole drama has not yet started, and the role of Feng has not really been established. If Mei Zihan can complete the role of Feng and make him flesh and blood, then Mei Zihan is undoubtedly the one who came to Rabbit Country this time. The biggest gain.
Will looks to his photographer.
"I'll go out first, let's discuss it with you first." Mei Zihan took Liu Tianyi out of the room in a very sensible manner.
"Your performance just now was great." Liu Tianyi praised sincerely, if he still can't succeed in the audition, then he really has nothing to say.
"It's just a trick." Mei Zihan said honestly, "After all, the director only told me the general character design, but he didn't know enough about some details and psychological activities. But I can only act This is the point."
After all, there is only such a line now, and he has not seen the entire script and the biographies of the characters. It's not impossible to perform more carefully, but in this way, it is inevitable that it will be different from the phoenix imagined by Director Will. At that time, it will be easy to leave the other party with the impression that he does not want to understand this role.
In the room, Director Will and the photographer had a friendly discussion.
"Mei Zihan is really great, he is the Feng in my imagination! The rest of the actors don't have to say goodbye." He didn't want to hesitate too much, but wasted time instead.
As a director, Will trusts his first instincts.
"I also think he is very good." The photographer also echoed, "Although it is the first time we met, he used some tricks to avoid his own disadvantages. And I think his figure looks very suitable. Photogenic."
"Have you filmed the audition clip just now?" The director asked hastily after thinking about it.
"Of course. How can you only watch such a wonderful performance once?" The photographer laughed, he is a professional.
"Let's decide on him. I feel that I have seen him play Feng, but I have no interest in other people's Feng. This is probably not fair to other actors."
The role of Feng can only be played by Mei Zihan.
"However, actors from several other countries have already been scheduled, and it's impossible to turn them down. I'm afraid I still have to meet them. I even accepted their gifts." The photographer said generously.
"Haha is fine, but let's just go through the motions. Actually, I want to sign a contract with Mei Zihan now, but I still don't want to make my old classmates too proud." It's such a good friendship, but Jiang After Ying returned to China, he seldom contacted him. He also had a bit of a temper.
"It's really the right time this time." Director Will couldn't help but sigh, not only solved the funding problem, but also found such an outstanding Phoenix actor.
After returning, we must go to church for a week.
When Mei Zihan came in again with Liu Tianyi, the director and them determined the time when they would be able to join the group. Although they didn't decide to use Mei Zihan on the spot, they basically reached a cooperation intention.
Liu Tianyi finally put down half of the big stone in his heart.
