Ten minutes later, Lin Zhen called Ji Qingqing and asked if she was free today. The audition was about three o'clock in the afternoon.
Ji Weiqing readily agreed.
After putting on makeup and changing clothes, I took the car to the set.
This drama is an urban love drama. It tells the love story of two sisters. The role of the elder sister and the younger sister is split in half. There is no emphasis. It can be said that it is a real dual heroine drama. There is no need to go to any scenic spots, this drama does not invite popular stars, and it saves more than half of the film salary, and the production cost is as low as the naked eye.
However, the director has rich experience, and the crew is called the conscientious crew by the audience. They don’t blindly hire popular stars for the sake of fan traffic, but look for some actors with real acting skills. There are not a few instant hits.
Therefore, if Lin Zhen wasn't acting as a bridge for her in this drama, there would be countless actors who would like to act in this drama.
Sitting in the car, Ji touched her nose lightly, so she really didn't know what to do.
Soon the car arrived at the crew, Ji Qingqing sat in the car and contacted Lin Zhen, and not long after, someone from the crew led her in.
The production team is still in the stage of interviewing supporting roles. The director is present, checking them out one by one. In the corridor outside the audition room, there are many people sitting and standing. Ji Qingqing didn't come forward to chat, but they all got together and talked a lot.
"Hey, isn't that Ji Qingqing? I heard that she is going to marry Lu Lixing soon, and she's coming to audition too?"
The girl who spoke had partnered with Ji Qingqing in the previous drama, but since she was a supporting role, and she didn't have many scenes with Ji Qingqing, there was little communication between them.
"It looks like I'm here for an audition."
"Which role do you think she tried?"
"Should be the younger sister of the two heroines?"
"Sister?" The man shook his head, sizing up Ji Qingqing with extremely presumptuous eyes, then shook his head, "I don't think that's possible for her."
"She is the future Mrs. Lu, and the whole Tianyu is her playground. How can it be impossible for a little girl?"
"I'm here to audition for the female fourth, but you don't know that the competition is fierce. There are no less than six people competing for the role of the female fourth, let alone the female first. It doesn't matter if the background of the director's play is good. I can break out of the siege by acting, and I have friends in the production team who said that Shen Weiwei came to audition, and it is said that Director Ren is quite satisfied with her performance, so I wanted to settle it at that time."
"You mean, Director Ren is very satisfied with Shen Weiwei? Then Ji Qingqing is..."
"Catch the show."
"I don't think I can grab it."
"Can't grab it?"
"Director Ren is a person who values acting skills. He has a picky eye. Since Director Shen Weiwei is very satisfied with her performance, it means that Shen Weiwei's acting skills have been recognized by Director Ren. It's not like you haven't seen Ji Qingqing's acting skills in the crew before. Either you can read lines or you can act.”
The person who spoke had very few roles, and it was wrapped up after filming. I only saw Ji Qingqing's performance when he first joined the group.
Lin Zhen came out of the room, glanced around, and finally put her gaze on Ji Qingqing, approaching her with a smile.
She patted Ji Qingqing on the shoulder, "Come?"
"Sorry, Miss Lin Zhen, I'm late."
"It's okay, Director Ren is inside, I'll take you in."
So in public, Ji Qingqing was "jumped in line" by Lin Zhen and brought into the audition room.
In the room, the director and several assistant directors of the crew were interviewing the actor who was supposed to audition. The actor was holding a sofa pillow in his hand, crying and laughing, with a crazy expression.
Lin Zhen led Ji Qingqing to sit on one side, and said in a low voice, "She is acting as a mother who just lost her child."
I see.
Ji Weiwei sat there silently and watched for three minutes. The semi-bald man wearing glasses sitting in the middle of the long table pushed his glasses, nodded and said, "Thank you, I will let the staff contact you as soon as the results come out."
The woman who was kneeling on the ground to perform took a while to withdraw from the performance just now, wiped away her tears with the support of the staff, bowed to the director and followed the staff to leave.
Before the crew called the next interviewer to come in, Lin Zhen took the opportunity to bring Ji Qingqing to Director Ren.
"Director Ren, this is what I told you before, Ji Qingqing."
Director Ren is actually quite a serious person, but he is bald in front, which inexplicably makes his serious expression a little bit happy.
"Miss Ji, I've heard about it for a long time."
Ji smiled lightly and reached out to shake hands with him.
Another actor came in for an audition. Director Ren talked to several assistant directors, and then took Ji Qingqing and Lin Zhen to the room for a private chat.
Apparently the task of interviewing supporting roles was given to several assistant directors.
Once in the room, Director Ren didn't beat around the bush, and got straight to the point.
"Miss Ji, it's like this. I have worked with Lin Zhen a few times before. She is also a friend for many years. She recommends you to me again and again. I also learned from Director Zhou that your acting skills are indeed good, but I also know that, I've always been a business person, and the people who join the group, even Lin Zhen, have to give me a live performance."
The live performance not only tests each actor's acting skills, but also his line skills. Unlike filming, which can be dubbed later, the scene is a real test of strength.
Ji smiled lightly: "It should."
Director Ren handed Ji Qingqing a piece of paper with the plot written on it, "Just act this part."
Ji Weiwei took it over and saw that it was a scene of a pair of male and female friends in love, after a violent quarrel, the girl got drunk alone.
Ji was slightly taken aback.
She is familiar with this scene.
"Think about it for two minutes, this bottle of wine is your prop." Director Ren ordered the bottle of wine on the table.
Ji nodded slightly, familiarizing himself with the plot in the script.
In fact, there are no lines, mainly in the expression of the heroine's mood.
Ji Qingqing had never seriously studied acting, how to act with black eyes, but she seriously recalled the mood when she got drunk two days ago, took a deep breath, unscrewed the bottle cap, raised her head and took a big gulp.
Taking a big sip of wine, it just filled his mouth like that, his eyes were absent-minded, and he stared blankly at the three-acre land in front of him, expressionless.
Half a second later, he seemed to come back to his senses, slowly swallowed the wine in his mouth, and as if his eyelids were not blinking a little sour, he looked away slightly, blinked, and reached out to rub it.
Rubbing his left eye, looking at the mobile phone on the table with his right eye, his jaw trembled slightly, as if he felt aggrieved.
He suddenly lifted the wine bottle and took another big gulp into his mouth, gulping down the gulp, and when he put it down, his eyes were a little red.
As if she couldn't bear it anymore, she held the mobile phone that had been silent for a long time in her hand.
It has been a whole night without calls or messages. Looking at the still black screen of the mobile phone, I finally couldn't help covering my eyes with my hands, and tears overflowed from the cracks in my hands.
Silent tears.
She bit her lower lip tightly, not allowing herself to make a sound, her shoulder blades trembled, and the hand holding the mobile phone gradually tightened, and finally took a deep breath, wiped away the tears with her hand, looked at the mobile phone calmly, and pressed the home button .
Not lit.
Ji was slightly taken aback, and pressed two or three times, but the screen still didn't light up.
Power off automatically.
Ji Weiwei got up abruptly, she sat for too long and got up too fast, her calf was numb, she couldn't get used to it all of a sudden, stumbled, Ji Weiwei grinned and rubbed her calf, and began to look for the charger anxiously on the table, finally I found it, but because of anxiety and nervousness, I failed to plug in the plug several times.
charging.
She anxiously waited for the phone to turn on.
Five seconds, ten seconds, twenty seconds, one minute.
Finally turned on.
The moment the signal was restored and the WiFi was connected, countless messages and unanswered calls frantically popped out from the phone screen.
Ji gently cried and laughed, carefully holding the phone to his chest, his eyes were like mixed stars.
I burst into tears.
"Card-"
applause.
Director Ren applauded unabashedly. Although Ji Qingqing's ten-minute performance just now did not have a single line, whether it was the mood swings after being upset and drinking, or the panic after finding out that the phone was dead, and receiving a message from a lover The contrast of emotions before and after, the exaggeration of emotions, and the critical point of collapse and joy can be retracted freely. Such a real performance may not be comparable to some veteran actors, but Ji Qingqing is young, and it is true that she can see it in her. Reiki.
"Yes, well done!"
Ji gently wiped away his tears with a tissue, and said with a modest smile, "Director Ren is overwhelmed."
Lin Zhen didn't hide the pride in her eyes, "How about being the director, I said it, isn't it good?"
"Before Director Zhou, I learned about Ms. Ji's acting skills. Seeing is believing. Ms. Ji really doesn't match the rumors."
"Director Ren, it's just a rumor, you don't really believe it, do you?"
Director Ren laughed twice, "The rumors are unbelievable!"
"Then lightly she..."
Director Ren nodded, "As long as Ms. Ji is willing, I will prepare the contract immediately."
Only then did Lin Zhen laugh, and gave Ji Qingqing a look.
Ji Qingqing understood and smiled.
The few people chatted happily, the door was knocked, a staff member opened the door, and said to Director Ren, "Director Ren, Miss Shen Weiwei is here."
Director Ren was slightly taken aback, and after thinking for a moment, he looked at Ji Qingqing with a little embarrassment, "Look at my memory, Lin Zhen has always recommended you before, but I see Shen Weiwei's acting skills are also good, and the image fits well For the request of this role, let her come here and try again today... "
"There is no need to retest now." Lin Zhen said.
Director Ren nodded, "It's really not necessary." Then he raised his head and said to the staff member, "You tell Lao Chen to tell Ms. Shen that the role of female lead has been decided."
The staff member nodded, "I see, I'll inform Deputy Director Chen now."
As the door closed, Ji smiled softly and said, "Actually, I'm also to blame for this. After reading the script, I actually really wanted to be in your play, but your film crew started up in July, but my wedding is scheduled for July. I'm very busy, so I keep putting off."
"I also heard from Lin Zhen about this, congratulations."
"Thank you. If you have time then, you must come to my wedding with Li Xing."
"With this honor, I will definitely go!"
Several people chatted a few more words.
The door opened again.
This time, it wasn't the crew members who came, but Shen Weiwei.
The staff stood behind Shen Weiwei with a troubled expression on their faces.
"Director Ren, when I came to the audition the day before yesterday, you said that I performed well and fit the role very well, and you asked me to come for a re-test today, why now..." Shen Weiwei stopped abruptly, because she saw Ji Qingqing.
