What kind of scene will she face when she enters
The red candles dimming the curtains after the scene was cleared? The beauty with half her clothes undressed in the curtains? The beauty smiled at her
Just imagining these scenes was enough to make Xia Yitong's blood boil. If she really saw them, her audition would probably be aborted early. So for a moment, she didn't connect her eyes with her brain.
There were two cameras on each side of the soft hotel bed. Qin Hanlin, two assistant directors, supervisors and producers were all sitting on chairs on the side. Lu Yinbing was standing in front of the mirror in the bathroom, her long neck slightly tilted back, sorting out something.
Qin Hanlin said with a smile: "The ice is not ready yet, please wait a moment."
Tick-tick-tick-sizzle-
Xia Yitong's mind seemed to have a real voice, linking her empty thoughts with the scene in front of her. She looked around the room calmly: First, the bed was located in the center of the camera's shooting range, and there was no other decoration around it. This was undoubtedly the main scene of the scene, but the scene was not cleared. Did it mean that it was not a simple bed scene... Or maybe it was just some unimportant parts that were exposed, and it was not necessary to clear the scene...
Thinking of this, Xia Yitong's heart slowly calmed down. Laiying said that the most important trick in acting with Lu Yinbing is to withdraw your eyes immediately when it is time to do so. If it were really in that kind of scene, her eyes would probably be glued to Lu Yinbing, and she would not care about Laiying's instructions.
Her mind was racing, but she had a slight smile on her face as she waited calmly.
Qin Hanlin looked at her for a long time, holding his chin in thought, and then came up to tell her the play: "This play is that after the Sixth Prince destroyed Guzang and captured you alive and imprisoned you in the palace, Jing Xiu was busy with official duties all day and left you aside for a month. He treated you like nothing and didn't say a word to you. Only today did he have time to settle those old things with you."
Xia Yitong nodded.
"You have to remember two points: you betrayed Jing Xiu, but you can't tell her the reason. Jing Xiu wants to ask clearly, but you can't say it." Qin Hanlin glanced at the direction of the bathroom, a cunning flashed in his eyes, and he lowered his voice and said, "You love Jing Xiu, this is beyond doubt. You have to let the people in front of the camera feel your struggle, like the feeling of being stuck in a quagmire and watching yourself sinking, but you can't be straightforward and naked. You are forbearing, angry and powerless. Forbearance is for her, and grief and inability are for yourself. Pay attention to the layering of the performance and the progression of emotions. Do you understand?"
Xia Yitong felt the pressure, took a deep breath, and said, "I understand."
Qin Hanlin saw her expression and suddenly became nervous. He patted her shoulder and said, "I know this is quite demanding for you, but to be an outstanding actor, you must take this step. I believe in you." He whispered in Xia Yitong's ear, "Actually, of the three people who came today, I like Lei La the most."
Xia Yitong looked at Qin Hanlin, who gave her a sincere smile and said, "I'll give you fifteen minutes to develop your feelings. Is that okay in the next room, Room 4007?"
"Okay." Xia Yiting went over as he was told.
Lu Yinbing came out of the bathroom with water stains on her neck. She wiped her hands and looked towards the door. She said to Qin Hanlin, "I saw everything just now. Did you say that you like her the most?"
Qin Hanlin let out an exaggerated "Ouch!" and then burst into laughter.
Lu Yinbing secretly spat at him, this old fox.
Qin Hanlin asked her to sit down and reminded her, "She is still a little girl and cannot handle your acting. Remember to be more restrained and don't scare her."
Lu Yinbing rolled his eyes at him and waved his hand, "Got it."
How could she not hold back? Just now, the Du man was so absorbed in the role that he almost bit her, but luckily she dodged in time and he only bit her chin instead of her lips, leaving her with a distinct lipstick mark.
She's auditioning, but she doesn't plan to sell her body, okay
Qin Hanlin was gloating over other people's misfortune. They had worked together once before and had a good relationship. He had never seen her being kissed forcibly. After Du Ruohan left, he laughed so hard that he fell down. It took him a long time to call Xia Yitong over.
While Xia Yitong was brewing her feelings, the people in the room started chatting in a relaxed manner, mainly Qin Hanlin and Lu Yinbing.
Qin Hanlin said with emotion: "It's not easy to find someone who can take over your role."
"You were the one who insisted on me playing the female lead, no, the male lead," Lu Yinbing accepted his compliment generously and asked, "Which of the first two do you like?"
"Cen Siying is barely OK. The cooperation is basically seamless, but it just lacks a certain feeling." Qin Hanlin said with a "tsk" sound, gesticulating with his hands and feet, "It's that kind of... crackling and sparking feeling. Cen Siying's performance is too technical, which is fine for the audience, but to me, it seems a bit deliberate. It's always just right and she always gives me the feeling of performing. What I want is to be unable to help myself, to the point of being able to feel real."
Is there a technique to acting? Of course there is. There are rules for what kind of expression to make at what time. Audiences are visual animals, and they are even better at imagining. They will automatically imagine a sadomasochistic love story based on your facial expressions and the context, and then torture themselves to tears. In the entertainment industry, there are geniuses and mortals, technical talents and emotional talents, and they are all competing.
Lu Yinbing asked again: "Where is Du Ruohan?"
When Du Ruohan was mentioned, Qin Hanlin thought of what happened just now, and the corners of his mouth raised involuntarily. Lu Yinbing glanced at him, and Qin Hanlin retracted his smile that had already stretched to the root of his mouth, and said: "I can't help the feeling, but..."
He glanced at Lu Yinbing secretly, and Lu Yinbing answered for him, saying coldly: "It's just that I was too emotional. If I act with her, there is a risk of losing my virginity. Will you compensate me when the time comes?"
"How can I pay for it?"
"Give me your husband as compensation."
Qin Hanlin turned his head to look at the producer and investor behind him who was looking at him with a friendly smile. His legs felt weak and he said righteously, "Then pass on Du Ruohan and choose between Cen Siying and Xia Yitong."
Lu Yinbing shrugged, feeling very disgusted with his strict husband-dominated style.
Qin Hanlin went to talk to the assistant director, producer and supervisor and expressed his views.
The producer expressed his preference for Cen Siying because of the considerations of the reputation and box office of this drama. No matter how popular traffic stars are, they cannot support the box office because their fans are generally young and do not have great purchasing power. In the past two years, some major luxury brands have gradually stopped cooperating with traffic stars because their fans cannot afford the products even if they endorse them. Traffic stars have turned to endorsing light luxury goods, daily necessities, and food. Not only that, a traffic star as the leading female role in this film full of acting talents will only lower the grade of the film and damage its reputation in the eyes of non-fan audiences. Some passers-by who could originally support the box office may even give up the film because of the participation of traffic stars. To a certain extent, the criterion for classifying bad films is whether there are popular traffic stars.
After hearing what the producer said, the two assistant directors also expressed their optimism for Cen Siying. Xia Yitong's acting skills could not be as good as Cen Siying's. As long as the list of leading actors, Lu Yinbing and Cen Siying, was released, plus the director Qin Hanlin, basically in the eyes of passers-by, this would be a stamp of approval for a high-quality movie. Countless passers-by and fans would rush to the cinema to buy tickets to support it. In fact, if the filming is done step by step, it will indeed be a fine product. There is no need to take the risk of choosing a newcomer for the sake of an illusory feeling.
Qin Hanlin didn't expect this to happen, and he was immediately furious: "Why didn't you say so many things during the first round of auditions? Now everyone is in the next room, and they haven't even auditioned yet, and you're rejecting people one by one!"
The three of them looked at each other, and the producer stepped out and said calmly, "At the time, you thought her acting was okay and wanted to let her enter the second round, so we didn't think too much about it. Fortunately, we have stopped the loss in time."
"You still have the nerve to say stop loss in time?" Qin Hanlin asked the producer humbly, "Then should I go to 4007 now and ask her to leave?"
The producer felt a chill down his spine for no reason and said, "This is too obvious. Let her act casually and then we can brush it off when the time comes."
"Just acting casually?" Qin Hanlin suddenly straightened his back and slammed the table, cursing, "There is no such thing as casual in my dictionary! I tell you, I'm selecting actors, and box office reputation is not as important as my feelings!"
The producer's face darkened.
"You guys can do whatever you want, I'm not going to direct this crappy movie anymore!"
"Director Qin..."
"Don't call me Director Qin!"
Qin Hanlin was about to walk away when his lover, the producer, who had been silent, spoke up. He held his forehead with his fingers and looked like he had a headache. "Okay, stop arguing. I believe in his judgment. If the result is not satisfactory, all losses will be borne by Hengtian Group."
With someone to protect him, the producer naturally had no objections.
Qin Hanlin straightened his chest proudly and looked around the room. Who doesn't have someone to pamper them
He looked around and found that someone was missing. He asked the assistant director, "Where is Lu Yinbing?"
The assistant director, who was trembling in the battlefield, poked his head out and said, "He just went out."
Next door, 4007.
Lu Yinbing leaned against the wall beside Xia Yitong's door to get some fresh air. She was an actress and only chose scripts and suitable partners. Box office and word of mouth were issues that the producers needed to worry about. Staying inside would only let the smell of money affect her mood.
She took out her phone and checked it. It was time. Just as she was about to knock on the door, it opened from the inside.
The first three times, she was in the room and Xia Yitong was outside.
This time, she was outside the room, while Xia Yitong was inside. Her hand was still suspended in the air, only ten centimeters away from Xia Yitong's face, and from a distance it looked as if she was trying to touch her.
When their eyes met, Xia Yitong's heart stopped beating suddenly, and the emotions that had just been brewing disappeared completely. All that remained before her eyes was the face with delicate eyebrows and eyes that looked like a banished immortal.
Lu Yinbing calmly withdrew her hand, nodded slightly, stepped aside, and led her in front. She said softly in her cold yet gentle voice: "Come on, we are going to audition."
The subtlety of those words actually made Xia Yitong taste a hint of tenderness. She froze in place without moving.
Lu Yinbing turned around: "Hmm?"
Xia Yitong held the door frame with his hands, forced a natural smile at her, but still did not move.
Help! Her legs are weak and she can't walk!
"I, I, I... my legs suddenly cramped, Senior Lu, can you... give me a hand?"
