Director Zhen made up an additional question for the audition for the role of "Rong Guifei".
Compared with the usual requirement of only trying one of the clips and shots, he also temporarily added a free play part, allowing the actors to perform the part that was not written in the script after performing the previous clip.
In the story, Concubine Rong's full name is Rong Qing. The Rong family has been in business for generations. In Rong Qing's generation, her brother was even recruited as a royal businessman.
She and Queen Qi Yunshang entered the palace in the same year.
Four generations of loyal ministers of the Qi family, their ancestors and Tai-zu ruled the world together, and they were named generals of the country.
At that time, when the new emperor ascended the throne, in order to have the support of the courtiers, he opened the harem. Regardless of the martial arts family, all daughters were sent to the palace. Among them, the most honored ones were Queen Qi and Concubine Rong Gui.
It has not been three months since Qi Yunshang and Rong Qing entered the palace, and everyone in the harem knows that the queen is weak, gentle and kind. Although the imperial subordinate is strict, she never shows anyone harshly, so all the servants of the eight bureaus enter the palace. She Changle Palace is happy.
In contrast, Rong Qing's domineering—
Because the imperial concubine was not crowned on the pilgrimage, in this harem, Rong Qing was regarded as one person under Qi Yunshang and above the other concubines in the six palaces. Even because the queen's constitution was weak and often unable to handle the affairs of the harem, she came from the emperor. The purpose is to replace the phoenix seal.
The concubines in the harem have all seen Rong Qing's surly, the queen's health is poor, the concubine's request is changed to every half a tenth, but every time Rong Qing goes back to Changle Palace, she walks straight in, and even greets the queen a little bit. Nodding in a perfunctory manner, this is still the case for the Queen, and even more arrogant to other low-ranking concubines.
If she doesn't agree with her a little bit, the maid next to her will come forward to bully her. If she finds out that she is pregnant, this poisonous woman is even more amazing. She can use thousands of methods to make your stomach lose its movement.
In the harem, even those who swept the cold palace knew about Concubine Rong Gui's reputation, and even the empress couldn't do anything about her. Therefore, whenever the empress fell ill, everyone would be in danger, for fear that the empress would leave. There is no peace in the harem.
In front of people, Qi Yunshang and Rong Qingguang are standing together, which is an incompatible landscape.
But few people in this palace know—
After the people, the two of them did all the lingering things.
…
Today's scene where Xu Jiao is going to audition takes place outside the Imperial Garden.
At that time, the spring was just right, the spring was in harmony, the sun was shining in the sparkling lake in front, and the waves were very comfortable. There were red and black koi in the lake swaying and swimming leisurely.
But the atmosphere on the shore was not so pleasant, because Concubine Rong Gui was about to kill a palace servant.
Halfway through the execution, the eunuch's shrill voice suddenly came from behind: "The Queen is here—"
Rong Qing heard the sound of the report, and was supported by the palace maid beside her, and immediately turned to look.
The script stops abruptly here.
The rest of the scene is left to the auditioners to figure out and play. Director Zhen asked them to continue this part of the plot and perform freely for five minutes.
There are many people who compete with Xu Jiao for this role. There is a third-tier flower that Yantian Entertainment has just held recently. The facial features and appearance are very in line with the temperament of the role of Rong Qing. The lips are thin and cold, the eyebrows are slender, and there is a kind of mean acting. The arrogant villain's natural gas quality.
In addition, there is also an actor from a professional school. After all, the male and female protagonists of the drama "Palace Wall Willow" are first-line celebrities, and many of the characters are hired from old actors. Even Feng Qingyu is only an important supporting role in this drama. , coupled with a lot of investment in this drama, Yantian Entertainment is best at publicity and momentum-
With Director Zhen's reputation ahead, even if it's not a big hit, the results shouldn't be too bad, so the actors naturally sharpen their heads and want to join this crew.
In addition, there are several vase-related households like Xu Jiao. The financial masters behind them are not small. There are Xiao Qinger, the director of Yantian Entertainment, and their friends who are the director of the crew.
Zhen Chu has his own set of criteria for selecting people. He never cares about the people around him who are talented and avoid relatives. No matter who comes to audition for his role, he is very welcome. He is willing to give this level, but who will be after that? Whoever is selected loses the election, then it is not a matter of relationship.
There were five people in total, and Xu Jiao was ranked last.
As we all know, those who draw lots at the beginning and the end are generally not lucky. The one who started at the beginning has no reference to the performance of the predecessors. No one knows whether the performance is good or not. Play, the front is mediocre, and no one remembers it.
And the last one...
If she can't play the finale, the directors who have seen many performances will definitely feel tired, and they may even give her a big fork in their hearts before she finishes the performance.
This means that she has to be more special than everyone else.
Thinking of this, Xu Jiao sat quietly in the far corner of the waiting room and slowly closed her eyes. It seemed that the sunlight in the clip appeared in front of her eyes again, covering her eyelids warmly.
The related households who were holding the script and racking their brains to think about how to perform for a while looked back at her, with a different kind of envy and admiration in their eyes—
Is this going to go through the motions and give up the treatment directly
…
"Please wait for the crew's notification."
The assistant next to Shangguan Yan temporarily took a part-time job. After arranging the numbers for the actors outside, he sent them off one by one and politely welcomed the next one in. When the actors were performing, he had to shout appropriately. The little eunuch said "the queen is coming".
The first few were related households. After watching their performances, Zhen Yu clenched the paper tightly while holding the script. Shangguan Yan held back again.
After holding it for a while, he suddenly turned his head and asked Feng Qingyu next to him:
"What do you think of the three performances just now?"
Feng Qingyu knew that he didn't want to offend people by saying too bad things. After all, Feng Qingyu had worked with him before and knew how vicious he was when he was filming. Now she thought about it for a while and expressed her evaluation in a compromise:
"The first body movements are a bit too much, which makes people feel a little exaggerated, and it is easy to lose sight of the focus of her performance in front of the camera."
"The second one went a little too far in the free play part. The relationship between Rong Qing and the queen is a forbidden love that cannot be discovered, but she keeps her eyes on the queen, for fear that people won't be able to see her. mind."
"The third place is quite satisfactory," said Feng Qingyu, who stopped. This is someone from Shangguanyan's company. She recalled the acting skills of the person just now, and said more:
"The expressions and performances are all in place. After the queen came, it also maintained the conflict between the two of them in front of others. The queen has a gentle personality, and she definitely couldn't bear to watch the palace maid be killed in front of her, no matter how good the queen's character is, She has always been the number one person in this harem, and the noble concubine will definitely not be able to kill this palace maid again, so it makes sense for her to give up."
Hearing this, Shangguan Yan's expression was not obvious, but a bit of satisfaction appeared in his eyes.
In his opinion, the biggest competitor of Xiaohua, his company, should be waiting for the fourth professional actor to come in. The role of Concubine Rong should be settled between the two.
as predicted-
After the fourth person came in, they greeted Director Zhen and the others. As soon as they entered the play, people could clearly feel the difference. Feng Qingyu could even guess the camera position she imagined based on her expression and position. where.
This actor should have quite a lot of experience in ancient costume dramas. Just raising her hand to the side and standing there, let people know at a glance that she is in a high position, and she is clearly wearing modern clothes. People think of her appearance in a brocade robe.
Suddenly, she raised her hand and lightly pressed her forehead, and said to the empty place beside her:
"Gag her mouth."
With a calm tone and a different kind of attention, Director Zhen loosened his brows a little and leaned back in the chair. Obviously, this was in line with the passing requirements for Rong Qing in his mind.
This person is arrogant and fierce, and if she was killed by the stick, it should be silent, because those lowly court ladies are not even worthy of dirtying her ears with the cry of death.
At this moment, the assistant seized the time and shouted at the right time: "The Queen is here—"
The person in the play looked back, and suddenly raised his hand and raised his hand, stopping the execution of the palace servants around him, raising his eyebrows, making people unable to find any clues, turning around and looking at the place where he came from, smiling Di nodded slightly and said only:
"I have seen the Empress, and the Empress is blessed and safe."
"What kind of wind is blowing in this imperial garden today, so that you are expected to come?"
Her plays easily put people into the environment of ancient costumes, no matter Feng Qingyu, Shangguan Yan or Zhen Chu, the three of them all looked very serious for a while.
When the "Rong Qing" in front of him followed the Queen's wishes, he reluctantly waved his hands and dispersed the palace servants. At this point, it was almost the end of the performance. Just when Feng Qingyu and the others thought it was about to end, suddenly—
The "Rong Qing" in front of her changed her expression, and the arrogance in her demeanor was nowhere to be seen. She smiled sweetly and called to the person next to her:
"elder sister."
She said: "Tomorrow is the New Year's Day, and the Queen Mother's 60th birthday is approaching. All the people from this palace are going to Yanxi Palace to join in the fun. I'm very careful here today. I won't be found out. Don't worry."
At this moment, Director Zhen clasped his palms together, clapped lightly and loudly, and announced, "Stop."
The actor smiled at a few people. Shangguanyan's assistant came up at the right time and handed her a bottle of mineral water. Director Zhen smiled and said, "Thank you for participating in my audition, we still need to discuss the specific results. I'll let you know right away."
"I know. Thank you Director Zhen for giving me this opportunity, and thank you President Yan and Sister Yu."
Because Feng Qingyu also acted in ancient costume dramas before, because of her clean and pure temperament, she was called "Jade Girl". Later, the younger generation in the circle also used to call her "Jade Sister", which took her name. It also reminds people of her previous roles.
After the actor went out, Director Zhen touched his chin, and this time he asked Shangguan Yan next to him, "What do you think of the scene she just added?"
Shangguan Yan pretended to speak casually: "I'm not an expert either, so I just watched it lively, I feel that her experience in ancient costume dramas should be very rich, and she can bring people into the scene at once, but I feel a little bit about the later turning point. Suddenly, is she trying to show both sides of the character in one scene?"
"It is to reflect the tit-for-tat between her and the queen in front of others, and to have the unique appearance of a lover in front of the queen. This contrast can make the image of this character more three-dimensional, right?"
Zhen Tu said "uh". Obviously, he also knew what he wanted to express in the performance just now. In the absence of an opponent to play, this person's play is already enough, not much, and after all, there is no After reading the script, this is not a story adapted from a novel, and there is no original work to refer to, so the free play is inevitably limited.
Shangguan Yan didn't speak after hearing him say a word, looked at his expression, and immediately smiled: "Before they said you were picky, I still don't believe it, but now it seems to be true—"
"I remember that there are not many plots between Rong Qing and the queen. The label should be considered a 'vicious female supporting role'. Why do you have such high requirements for this role? I heard that you have already cleared a batch of auditions before. , This is the second batch, what kind of Concubine Rong do you want?"
Zhen Tiao listened to him jokingly teasing himself like this, but he couldn't describe the feeling he wanted in words, so he turned his head and led the topic to Feng Qingyu: "Of course I want a concubine Rong Gui who is the best match for our queen. ."
Before Feng Qingyu and Shangguanyan could get anything out of his words, Director Zhen had already raised his head and looked towards the door again. Shangguanyan's assistant saw his eyes and promptly led in Xu Jiao, who was waiting at the door. .
Feng Qingyu brought her with her today. On the way, she simply mentioned to her who would come to the audition. The screening director came to be responsible for her own work, so the casting was all done by herself.
In addition, she also talked about the screenwriter, assistant director, etc., but she didn't expect to see Shangguan Yan today.
Recalling what she promised Shi Weiya last night, and now seeing Xu Jiao, Feng Qingyu was afraid that she would make a joke by admitting the wrong person, so she promptly reminded: "This is Director Zhen, you know, the chief director of "The Palace Wall Willow", and the other One is the producer and investment of the work, the president of Yantian Entertainment, Shangguan Yan.”
Xu Jiao took her love, called the two politely, and said a few polite words.
Feng Qingyu had basically never seen her work before, let alone watched her filming on the set, so I don't know how she gets along with others on weekdays, and only occasionally saw the content that Xu Jiao bought for herself on the hot search. I clicked in and watched a few variety show clips, and experienced her exaggerated performance.
now.
Looking at the normal appearance of the person standing in front of her, she felt a little strange for a while, and her first reaction turned out to be:
How many masks does this person have that he has never seen before
…
Xu Jiao's appearance when she entered the play pulled Feng Qingyu back from her distracted state.
She saw that Xu Jiao had specifically asked Director Zhen, and wanted to move a toffee chair next to her, and the assistant who had been working as a background board hurried over to give a hand. The concubine was used as a sedan chair, and lay gracefully on it.
Director Zhen seemed to have never seen someone so arrogant and so particular before, there was a smile in his eyes. He sat up straight from the back of the chair, and even leaned forward a little, as if he really wanted to know that Feng Qingyu had opened up to Xu Jiao. What a small stove.
Xu Jiao really seemed to be on a spring outing, and closed her eyes slightly, as if the maid who was killed in the scene did not exist at all.
After so long, Shangguanyan's assistant saw that she had no more content to show, so she dutifully called out her tool line: "The Queen is here—"
The eyelashes of the person on the reclining chair trembled.
She opened her eyes slowly, and reached out her hand subconsciously, as if a palace servant was supporting her in time, Xu Jiao sat up naturally, holding the chair with one hand, and her eyes turned to the back. Her eyes were slightly bent, as if someone bathed in sunlight was so dazzling that she couldn't tell the difference between reality and reality for a while.
Just when the corners of her lips were about to rise, she seemed to suddenly realize what the scene was now, the corners of her lips pressed down, and Xu Jiao casually glanced aside:
"Why did it stop?"
She said unhurriedly: "Before this palace's order, if anyone dares to stop, they will deal with her together."
Even though Feng Qingyu and the director didn't see the specific scene that happened around her, they could guess from Xu Jiao's words that the palace people are now increasing their strength, Beating people up and screaming again and again.
The expression on Xu Jiao's face was still the same.
Even the comfort has not faded away.
With such a bright and positive expression, she is reminiscent of the invisible darkness and cruelty, the hell of bones and skeletons hidden in the beautiful scene like a mirror.
Xu Jiao's play has not stopped here—
She didn't even get up from the reclining chair, she said softly and lazily in the direction of the assistant: "Concubine, please give your concubine your best wishes."
"As your mother can see, there are always some people in this palace who don't follow the rules, and they don't make people worry at all. The queen is weak, so how can she always be disturbed by such chores, so the concubine dared to make a reply and give it to the palace. Some people wake up, some rules can't be broken, such people who are fornicating with the emperor's personal guards and impure minds, death is not enough to apologize."
There was only her voice in the scene, but everyone knew that she was talking to the queen at the moment, and she didn't mean to stop for a while.
Seeing her resolute expression, Zhen Chu couldn't help raising her eyebrows.
Is this not going to let this person go
Do you really want to kill someone in front of the queen
Feng Qingyu's expression was also a little dignified. At this point, Xu Jiao had fully expressed Rong Qing's arrogance and publicity.
Because it's too unethical.
at this time.
Xu Jiao's eyes suddenly froze, and the smile on her face stopped, she asked, "It seems that the queen is determined to do the right thing with her concubine today? Make the queen look at her differently."
"Forget it, since the Empress has an order, I don't dare to disobey, so I will stop—"
"Since Niangniang came to visit the imperial garden in such a leisurely manner today, she must not let these pickled things dirty your eyes and ruin your interest, but... I feel that the sun is good here, and the scenery is also beautiful. That's right, I think that the empress won't win people's love, so let the concubine give up this good scene and accompany you to visit that small garden?"
After speaking, Xu Jiao stopped for a while.
Her eyes were a little vacant, and she stared at the place not far away without taking it back, as if watching the queen go away, perhaps those restrained emotions were hidden too deep in her eyes, coupled with her expressionless face at the moment, only It will make people think that she is looking at their own mortal enemy.
At this time, Director Zhen took out his mobile phone and glanced at the time, and found that there was only half a minute left in the countdown.
Just when he looked up, Xu Jiao in front of him laughed again, turned her face to the side, her eyes hadn't been retracted from a distance, but her face had been slightly tilted to the position of the maid by her side, and she said softly with the same discussion:
"Since the queen doesn't like this man being stabbed to death—"
"I think that the fish in this lake are not fed every day. They must be starving. Why don't you... Today, I will come to do a good deed, what do you think?"
Feng Qingyu opened her eyes slightly.
Xu Jiao actually played a game of yang and yin!
She still wanted that palace maid to die, and she changed to the lake, why
Zhen Chu and Shangguan Yan were also a little bit curious by this twist and turn. In the scene, Xu Jiao was helped to stand up. When she stood up, she glanced at her feet. Suddenly, she paused and frowned. Sigh lightly:
"It's a pity that my mandarin duck embroidery, the blue forged face I just put on today..."
Her shoes were stained with the blood of the maid.
Xu Jiao showed a bit of disgust on her face, and was led back to the palace by the people around her. She stopped looking at the things behind her. She didn't know how far she had gone, but she tilted her head, as if the palace servants beside her were asking her something.
"Why disobey the Queen's will?"
She repeated the question and looked around casually until she stepped on the threshold one after another, letting people know that she had returned to her own Palace of Splendid Blossoms.
Xu Jiao leaned heavily on the slump and raised her feet slightly, as if someone had taken off the pair of shoes. Looking ahead, it was the position of Director Zhen and the three of them. She hooked her lips, the emotion in her eyes. Bottomless, he said slowly:
"The guard is the person by the emperor's side. He has always protected the emperor closely and never leaves him. Who knows who the seed in the slave's belly just now belongs to?"
"I don't want to risk a cent," she said.
"In this palace, no one is allowed to run away before the queen hears any movement in her stomach. I want my sister's child to enter the East Palace justifiably, and then become the most honorable ruler of the world, and no one is allowed to cross it. Go with this humility."
"My sister has a good heart, doesn't want to make trouble with others, and her hands are clean, so I will do these things..."
"As long as I stay in this palace for one day, no one will want to be presumptuous."
…
Feng Qingyu met Xu Jiao's eyes.
Hearing her every word, she said the lines that were not in the script. It was obviously cruel, but she heard a deep love from it, which was almost persistent.
Between the lines, not a single word of love is mentioned, but it is full of affection, enough to be unforgettable.
It is easy to understand that Rong Qing is in love with Queen Qi in her own way.
"Snapped-"
Director Zhen clapped her hands and pulled Feng Qingyu out of the scene. She heard Director Zhen say "stop" and felt that her heartbeat also missed a beat.
Shangguan Yan's face turned black for no reason, but no one noticed this. Director Zhen was recalling Xu Jiao's performance, while Feng Qingyu...
She watched Xu Jiao come out of the play, bowed politely to them and thanked them, but a strange thought popped into her mind, "If only I could play with her."
She wanted to play such a play with Xu Jiao's Rong Qing as Qi Yunshang.
As soon as the idea came out, Feng Qingyu was stunned. She didn't have time to think about how Xu Jiao's acting skills had suddenly improved to this point. She was reminded by the eyes of Director Zhen beside her that she should go.
She originally only brought Xu Jiao to audition today, but now that Xu Jiao's role is over, even if she wants to reminisce with Zhen Chu and Shangguan Yan, it is reasonable to give it away.
Feng Qingyu said hello to Zhen Tu and Shangguan Yan and walked outside.
When she walked into the corridor and was blown by the wind through the hall, she actually felt a little coolness on her body.
Feng Qingyu was stunned.
She just found out...
I don't know when I was actually sweating, and there was an air conditioner in the room.
Feng Qingyu spread out her palm and placed it in front of her. With excellent vision, she saw the invisible layer of crystal and moisture in her palm print. After staring at it for a few seconds, she lowered her hand and headed towards the lounge.
The thought popped into my mind again—
Assuming Xu Jiao really gets the role...
If I remember correctly, the scale of this play is not small, and many of those scenes between Qi Hou and Rong Guifei are restricted-level scenes.
inexplicably.
Feng Qingyu's throat moved and made a swallowing motion.
The sweat in his palms oozes more for no reason.
