The audition location for "People in the Alley" was on the 6th floor of this building. When Feng Yaoqin brought her daughter over, there were already many people waiting here.
Today should be a special audition for young actors, because here are all children who are the same age as her family, but they are different in age, so it should be that everyone auditioned for different roles.
It's similar to her family's situation, an adult and a child come to audition together.
For the audition, Feng Yaoqin originally planned to dress up her daughter beautifully so as to leave a good impression on the director, but Manager Lu specially sent a message to her last night and asked her not to dress up Sui Sui today. It's so good, it's best worn plain. After all, the previous plot of this TV series is about 30 years ago, and the clothes she wears are too trendy. No matter how good the acting is, it will make people feel a little awkward.
Feng Yaoqin thought about it carefully, and felt that what Manager Lu said was right, so she changed her daughter into a red short-sleeved and denim overalls, and her hair was no longer two cute little tugs, but a beautiful one. meatball head.
——The Zhou Xiaoyue in the script has loved beauty since she was a child, and her family is also the one with the best conditions in the courtyard at the entrance of the Hutong. Dad was a worker in a machinery factory, and my mother was an accountant in a textile factory. When the other little girls in the yard could only wear the old clothes of their brothers and sisters, she who was always favored at home could wear the new clothes her mother bought for her.
Just as Feng Yaoqin was looking for the staff to get the number plate, and was sitting on a chair with her daughter waiting for the audition, a short-haired woman led a little girl in a yellow dress and came over to greet them, with a slightly flattering expression mean.
"Sister Feng, you also brought your children to audition today?"
Feng Yaoqin's memory is not bad, and she recognized who this woman was. Her child was one of the other nine children who entered the re-examination of "Traveling with Baby" together with Sui Sui.
At that time, she thought that everyone was a child star and her mother anyway, and if she knew more people, there would be a way out, so she exchanged contact information with her, but later her family was selected in "Travel with Baby", and she Forget about this, neither of them has contacted each other actively.
Feng Yaoqin was polite on the surface, making it difficult to see her real thoughts, and said: "Yeah, didn't you come here to try your luck after hearing about the reputation of the great director Lu Jianhui? Oh, by the way, Miss Zhang, your family Which role did the kid audition for?"
Sister Zhang paused, and her tone of voice was a little tentative, "My child is as young as yours, and there are only a few roles that can be auditioned. I plan to let her try the role of Sun Miao. How old is your family?"
When Feng Yaoqin heard that it was not the same character, she raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "It's Zhou Xiaoyue."
Sister Zhang's reaction after hearing the news was greater than that of Feng Yaoqin, she was obviously relieved, and said: "Sister Feng, you have better vision, I remember the role of Zhou Xiaoyue, she seems to be the most beautiful one among all the children in the courtyard, I think Only your family Sui Sui meets this condition."
Feng Yaoqin: "..." Sister Zhang, you really know how to tell nonsense with your eyes open, pretending that I haven't read the script! When you say that, it's because you're afraid that my Sui Sui and your child will compete for a role.
Of course, complaints belong to complaints, and the link of business mutual bragging is still indispensable.
What's more, Feng Yaoqin herself thinks that Sun Miao is obviously better than Zhou Xiaoyue in "Family in the Alley".
If it weren't for the confidence in Lu Yuanzhi's professional vision as a gold medal manager, Feng Yaoqin couldn't help but wonder if he didn't read the script carefully and chose "The Alley" just because of the fame of director Lu Jianhui. play. Obviously there are better characters here, for example, if the kind-hearted Sun Miao was not chosen, why did he choose Zhou Xiaoyue
Not to mention the unruly and willful character of this character, there is an episode in the audition script that she broke someone else's beloved hairpin and refused to admit it, and even lied and framed it to other children afterwards... It seems like a typical unflattering person Hi bad boy.
Even Zhou Tianniu, the weak and timid eldest daughter of the Zhou family, is better than Zhou Xiaoyue.
Feng Yaoqin frowned slightly when she thought about the content of the audition script. If her family really played this role after Sui Sui, would she use the popularity she had accumulated through the parent-child variety show "Traveling with Baby"? All done?
If it's just like this, it's fine. What Feng Yaoqin is most worried about is that this kind of character with a bad personality will easily arouse the disgust of the audience.
She is a mother, so of course she doesn't want to watch her daughter being scolded online. Although these netizens may not want to scold her Suisui, but just the role she played in the TV series, she still feels uncomfortable thinking about it in her heart.
Amid Feng Yaoqin's worries, it wasn't long before it was Gu Suisui's turn to audition.
"Uncles and aunts, hello everyone. My name is Gu Suisui. I am three and a half years old this year. The role of this audition is Zhou Xiaoyue." This passage was taught to Gu Suisui by Feng Yaoqin at home. Little Cotton Candy learns things very quickly , coupled with clear articulation, it still sounds decent.
The adults present at the audition all had a good first impression of her.
They used the original soundtrack in the later stage of this TV series. It is the most basic requirement for young actors to speak their lines fluently. Those who stutter and dare not face the camera, even if this child fits the role setting, They couldn't keep her either.
"Kid Gu Suisui, right? Then you can act savage and willful for us. For example, for the role you auditioned for, what would you do if you saw something you didn't want to eat at the dinner table?"
Director Lu Jianhui has always been personally involved in casting, even if it is only a small role in it, he will be very careful. This habit has not changed for decades. But because he is now old, although his body is still strong, his energy is definitely not as good as when he was young, so the two assistant directors sitting next to him are mainly responsible for asking questions during the audition.
This scene is not very difficult, the difficulty is how to grasp this unruly and willful speed.
The role of Zhou Xiaoyue was quite important when she was a child, and combined with a whole TV series, her personality is also more distinct than the other girls of the same age in the compound. Moreover, a child of three or four years old, even if she has a bad personality, is not bad at all. Rather than saying that she is savage and willful, at this time she is actually more appropriate to use the word savage and willful.
Of course, auditioning for children must not be judged by the standards of an adult, otherwise the crew would not be able to find someone to act. When everyone's acting skills are similar, what they first set their eyes on is that the young actor's appearance does not match the role setting.
To be honest, the assistant director at the side looked at the little girl in front of him who was smiling sweetly at them, no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't get the bait with the word savage.
... Can she really act out this feeling
