In a secret room, the three giants of the crew, producer, director, and screenwriter, gathered together.
There were five display screens hanging on the wall in front of them, and a scene was frozen on each display screen. Judging from the frozen scene, this was a short video shot by Jiaojiao and the contestants.
The set boards are the same, and the plot is the same. It was stipulated before filming that the lines were not allowed to be changed without authorization during filming. So except for one of the actors acting, everything is the same.
Only by filming the same scene can we better identify who is the most suitable candidate.
From left to right, top to bottom, watch each video one by one.
The three ultimate judges had a discussion after watching it.
"Who do you think is the most suitable?" Sheng Jiaoyang, as a producer, asked first.
"To be able to reach this point today, the difference in strength between the five of them is actually not very obvious. Judging from the performance in front of the camera, Liao Feng has the strongest camera sense." Qin Anliang is the director, and he pays great attention to actors. lens sense.
Ma Tingting said: "I think among the five of them, Song Junyi is closest to the male protagonist's setting and personality. This way he can act in his true self when he plays the role and it will look more pleasing to the eye."
Sheng Jiaoyang nodded slightly. She looked at the still pictures on the five screens, her eyes sliding across the faces of the five contestants.
"As you said, An Liang, Liao Feng's camera sense is indeed the strongest, but when we are looking for the leading actor, we don't have to find the one with the best camera sense, and the other four are not bad either. What Tingting said makes sense. If we can Choose someone who can play the role as he is, then you don’t have to worry about the role being played poorly.”
"It seems that you also like Song Junyi. Aren't you afraid that if you choose him, other players will be dissatisfied? I think he relied on a layer of fan connections to get this opportunity." Qin Anliang said with a smile.
"Although Song Junyi is a fan of mine, I don't think highly of him because of this relationship. On the contrary, it is because I am afraid of other people's irresponsible remarks, so I will be more strict with him. However, it turns out that he does not I was not disappointed.”
Sheng Jiaoyang paused and said to the camera: "If other contestants have objections to this, there is nothing I can do about it. Even if I choose another person, there will still be people who have objections. As a producer, I will not To cast an inappropriate person for the so-called relationship, I have to be responsible for the money I invested and I have to be responsible for my script."
"The result has been decided, let's go out and announce the result!"
The five contestants waiting on the stage were also whispering.
Among the five of them, three are from majors, and the other one is not from a major, but has been working hard in the film and television city for two years. Although he has not gone through systematic study, he has experienced hundreds of battles and has solid acting skills.
The last one is Song Junyi, who has neither a professional background nor any practical acting experience.
He is completely wild.
But as Ma Tingting said, he fits the role of the male protagonist so well. Whether it is appearance, personality or behavior, he is very close to the male protagonist. After these days of training, he is no longer the same person as when he first participated in the competition. He may be slightly behind other contestants in terms of acting skills, but his overall matching has allowed him to make it all the way to where he is today.
Although all five contestants have read the script, their understanding of the characters in it is definitely not as good as Ma Tingting and Sheng Jiaoyang. If they think Song Junyi is a good match, then it is really the best fit.
But for the players, whether they are the eliminated players on stage or off the stage, among the five players on the stage, the strongest one is Liao Feng. He is not only from a major, but he has also It has been a year since I entered the entertainment industry, and my acting skills can be considered the best among the five.
Even Liao Feng himself is very confident in himself, and everyone privately praises him in private that he will definitely get the final chance to play the leading role. Why would a person who is good at both appearance and acting fail to be chosen
When the judges came out, the contestants fell silent.
Everyone is looking at the people on the judges' table, but of course the main thing they are looking at is us, Jiaojiao.
Everyone knows that in this crew, the one who has the most say is Jiaojiao. Who calls her the producer? Whoever pays has the most say.
"Before announcing the results, I want to tell all the contestants present that you did not win the leading actor not because you are not good enough, but because you are still a little bit far away from the leading actor." Sheng Jiaoyang picked up the microphone and said.
"The contestants in our competition are very strong. Although we only have one male protagonist, there are other characters in our movie. Interested parties can sign up after the competition. We will also make a decision based on your performance in the competition. .”
Sheng Jiaoyang paused and said with a smile: "Then now I announce that the leading actor in this casting competition is -"
"Song Junyi."
The scene was in an uproar, and everyone looked at Song Junyi.
The smile on Liao Feng's face froze, and then he turned to look at Song Junyi. His heart was particularly complicated. When he heard Song Junyi's name, he subconsciously felt that the other party must have relied on his connections to get the leading role. of opportunity.
"It's really Song Junyi. I thought Xu Jiaojiao would avoid suspicion!"
"I didn't expect that he would be the only wild kid. Why did the judges choose him?"
"Why is it Song Junyi? Liao Feng's acting skills are obviously better."
The audience in the audience talked a lot.
Sheng Jiaoyang ignored the various cluttered voices coming from the audience and continued: "Part of our script is based on real prototypes. Song Junyi is the closest to the male protagonist prototype in all aspects, and his current strength Everyone can see that when we choose roles, we don’t choose the best ones, but the most suitable ones.”
"The others are all excellent. As I said before, you are just a little bit different from the leading actor, and it has nothing to do with your ability. This is why the final selection of our casting competition is not called the champion, because strength is not the only thing Criteria for selection.”
Faced with such a result, everyone could only accept it. Song Junyi himself was also very good for being able to enter the finals. At most, everyone was envious of his good luck.
After the final recording, the three big guys from the crew did not leave immediately. They took out a list with the names and settings of several characters.
This form is sent to all contestants, and they can consider whether to audition for other roles based on the above role settings and their own needs.
Even if it is just a supporting role in the movie, this is an opportunity that cannot be ignored for most of the players who have no foundation. Although this opportunity is not as good as the male protagonist, many people come to participate in the competition at the beginning. They don’t come with the intention of winning. Most people still want to use this competition and this platform to let more people see themselves, and then other opportunities will come to them.
Isn't this, there are a few more opportunities!
"Mr. Xu, do you think there is a role suitable for me in the movie?" Liao Feng walked up to Sheng Jiaoyang and asked straight to the point.
Looking at the high-spirited player in front of him, Sheng Jiaoyang asked instead of answering: "I remember that you have signed a contract with our Entertainment International, right?"
Liao Feng's eyes lit up, and his expression was no longer so aggressive. He smiled and nodded and said, "Yes, according to your seniority, I have to call you senior sister."
Although everyone knows Jiaojiao's age, no one will really regard her at that age now. Liao Feng is very angry because he does have the strength, but in front of Jiaojiao, he can only Keep a low profile and don't feel it's a shame.
It's like a 20-year-old ordinary college student and a 10-year-old genius boy college student. Standing in front of a genius, a 20-year-old ordinary college student doesn't dare to think that he has a high status because of his age. Instead, he will be full of respect for the genius.
This is the case now.
In the hearts of many young people, Jiaojiao is a legend, and a legend that cannot be copied.
When Sheng Jiaoyang heard Liao Feng call her senior sister, her expression did not change much, and she always had a friendly and polite smile on her face, "There is a role in the movie that is not many, but is still very important, and that is the heroine. My boyfriend, this role has some similarities with the male protagonist, and it does require sufficient acting skills to play it well. I am quite optimistic about you, do you want to try this role?"
Liao Feng agreed without thinking. As a fellow student and the most senior leader, Jiaojiao would definitely consider him sincerely. After all, if he becomes successful in the future, he will bring more benefits to the company. Therefore, he readily agreed to Jiaojiao's proposal.
No one can doubt Jiaojiao's vision. If she had bad vision, she wouldn't have been able to step from an ordinary person participating in a supermodel competition to where she is today. Her shortcut is such that no one can even be jealous. Because the gap is really too big.
Song Junyi hesitated a little when he saw Jiaojiao and Liao Feng chatting happily.
A contestant bumped his shoulder lightly and said: "Although Liao Feng did not become the leading actor, it seems that he has caught the eye of the goddess. Seeing that they were chatting so happily, Liao Feng must have had a good opportunity. "
Song Junyi didn't say anything, and there was no negative emotion on his face. In fact, he didn't have any problem with Liao Feng seeming to steal his glory as the leading actor, because even he himself was a little unsure about being chosen as the leading actor. Was the male protagonist chosen because he was the most suitable or because of the fan relationship that everyone knew from the beginning.
Just as he was hesitating, he saw the goddess looking towards him and beckoning him to come over.
His eyes sparkled with joy, he pursed his lips and walked over.
"Our hero, there is something you must prepare for before starting the movie."
"What preparations?" Song Junyi was stunned for a moment.
"Ask for leave from school. Aren't you still at school?" (To be continued)
