Chapter 16 Beauty in Tsing Yi, Location and Audition
A few days later, in a hotel in Beijing.
The final auditions for the cast of "Want to Meet You" begin.
Xue Xiaolu, Zhou Yutang, Li Hao, Feng Boyuan and other core creators of the crew were all present.
It's said to be an external audition, but in fact all the male and female leads have been pre-selected. The main interviews today are for the female lead, the third male lead and a few supporting female roles.
The audition went well.
Zhai Tianlin's resume went into the trash can, and no one came.
Brother Long performed very well in the audition, and his perverted performance made people feel chilly.
Teacher Xue felt that this Nortel student had great potential and admired him very much. With Zhou Yutang's opinion, the third male student decided on him without any suspense.
Che Xiao and Bao Wenjing arrived early. Senior Bao Wenjing's performance was unsatisfactory, but Senior Che Xiao's performance was remarkable because she was elegant and gentle.
After several creative discussions, Zhou Yutang drew a circle on her name, meaning it could be used as an alternative.
The last person to come in was Zeng Li.
This is the candidate recommended by Teacher Xue.
This Chinese opera school beauty is tall and has long flowing hair. She is wearing a light blue floral dress. The fresh tones make her skin especially white and delicate.
She seems to have dressed up a little today, with light makeup, delicate facial features, and a clear temperament, giving her a charm that is somewhere between a young girl and a royal sister.
She is truly a beautiful woman who will make you feel astonished just by looking at her.
Zhou Yutang nodded secretly.
The reputation of being the belle of the Chinese drama school was well-deserved, and when he saw her in real life, she was even more beautiful than the big Qingyi girl in his impression.
"Hello, Teacher Xue."
Zeng Li said hello to Teacher Xue politely, and then greeted everyone present. Even Zhou Yutang also used the title of "teacher".
Teacher Xue unscrewed the thermos cup and took a sip of water, smiled and nodded: "Zeng Li is here, don't be so polite, have you read the script?"
Going directly to the topic, Zeng Li was also very professional, nodded, and first talked about his understanding of the characters.
Then the audition started.
I took a section from the script and asked her to play the role of Chen Yunru, who has low self-esteem, is sensitive and timid, and goes to school alone.
Zeng Li brewed her emotions for a while and quickly entered the state.
Her hair covered half of her cheeks, her head was lowered slightly, her eyelids were drooped, as if she didn't dare to look at anyone, she walked cautiously, her arms were tightly close to her body, her steps were small and her steps were slightly retracted. There is a feeling of loneliness that is out of tune with the surroundings.
"nice!"
Zhou Yutang's eyes lit up.
Many details are piled up, and it looks like a lonely and autistic Chen Yunru is standing in front of you.
"Play the life of Huang Yuxuan, a professional girl with a cheerful personality."
Zeng Li adjusted slightly, and his demeanor immediately changed.
First of all, he straightened his head, raised his head slightly, and walked with a longer stride. Inadvertently, he reached out and brushed the hair beside his ears, put it behind his ears, looked at the time on his watch, and his movements were full of intellectual maturity. The charm of women.
The most striking thing is her eyes.
There was a hint of sadness in his eyes, as if he was missing someone.
This is the mature Huang Yuxuan, who is completely opposite to the inferior Chen Yunru. Then Zeng Li plays Huang Yuxuan's soul in the future and travels to Chen Yunru in the past. The twist is also very good.
Feng Boyuan communicated with Li Hao in a low voice and nodded slightly. Both of them thought it was very good.
With this price and such acting skills, what kind of bike do you want?
Teacher Xue turned around and asked: "Yu Tang, you wrote the script, what do you think?"
Although Zhou Yutang is a Nortel student, he is also the screenwriter of this play and one of the investors, so Teacher Xue also respects this student's opinion.
Zeng Li looked at it curiously.
Even if she doesn't pay much attention to people's appearance, it is undeniable that Zhou Yutang, sitting next to a few greasy uncles, is really handsome and a little too outstanding.
Of course, the most important thing is not how handsome he is, but where he sits.
Right in the center of the long table.
Zeng Li has also been in the industry for several years, how could he not know what this position among the stars means.
And judging from Teacher Xue’s tone, he is actually the screenwriter of this drama.
Zeng Li was a little curious.
The world is developing so fast. Are today’s young people so good?
"OK, I have no problem. Sister Li is very good at acting and gave me the feeling I wanted."
Zhou Yutang put down the pen in his hand and showed Zeng Li a bright and satisfied smile.
I was a little worried that this sister wouldn't be able to handle it well, but after her performance in the audition just now, Zhou Yutang's evaluation of her has risen to a new level.
Zeng Li is not only good-looking.
She was born in the star-studded 96th class of the Chinese Opera Performance Department. Her classmates were Qin Hailu, Liu Ye, Qin Hao, Chen Minghao, Jiji Zhang, Yuan Quan and Hu Jing.
Almost every capita has a queen of movies and a king of movies. It is a fairy-tale lineup.
Zeng Li is a recognized beauty, plus she has learned bodybuilding, vocal music, and dance since she was a child. She has a very good foundation. This is a Qingyi who came from a Chinese opera major, and her acting skills are indeed underestimated.
Zhou Yutang also heard a gossip told by Li Hao. It was said that when director Zhang Yimou came to choose the actors for the film, he originally wanted Zeng Li. But some accident happened and Zeng Li didn't come to audition, so Director Zhang chose Xiao Xiao. Chapter, and then Xiao Zhang became famous in one fell swoop and became an international chapter.
In short, the heroine was decided.
Teacher Xue introduced the people present to Zeng Li and got to know each other.
Mainly Zhou Yutang, the two of them play opposite each other in the play.
"This is Nortel freshman Zhou Yutang, who plays the male lead Li Ziwei. Zeng Liqian will teach him more when the time comes."
“Learn from each other and enjoy working together.”
Zeng Li reached out and shook Zhou Yutang's hand gently, smiling brightly with her white teeth like braided shells.
After passing the audition, he still had to sign a contract. Seeing Zeng Li alone, Zhou Yutang asked curiously: "Sister Li, where is your agent?"
"I didn't sign with a brokerage company."
"ah?"
Zhou Yutang was slightly startled.
It's been several years since this girl debuted, but she still doesn't have a management agency?
Zeng Li explained: "Actually, I have been talking to some brokerage companies in the past few years, but it didn't feel right, so I kept insisting on it. There will definitely be no problem with what Teacher Xue introduced here. I can handle this contract myself." sign."
Li Hao was from Beijing and knew a lot of things. Zhou Yutang only found out after hearing what he said.
This sister didn’t have any career plans. After graduating from Chinese Opera, she joined the Art Troupe of the All-China Federation of Trade Unions, focusing on a casual role...
Several brokerage companies, including Huayi and Rongxingda, approached this sister, but they did not agree.
Okay, I originally thought I was invincible if I worked alone, but I didn’t expect that I have a powerful sister who has been traveling alone for so many years.
Zhou Yutang asked someone to give the contract to Zeng Li. After reading it over and over again, he had no objection and signed it directly.
Then he gave Zeng Li a complete script, mainly to let him go back and figure out the character plot.
The main perspective of this drama is actually the heroine, so the requirements for Zeng Li are very high, and she must be in the perfect state in advance.
After deciding on the heroine, all that's left are the supporting roles, such as Huang Yuxuan's best friend, the chubby girl named Lingling.
There are also heroine Chen Yunru’s mother and younger brother, who also have a lot of roles.
Well, the road is long and the road is long.
Keep auditioning.
……………………
Downstairs of the hotel.
Hu Jing was waiting in the car. When she saw Zeng Li coming out of the building with her long hair flying, her eyes instantly lit up: "My beautiful pear, how was the audition?"
"Here, I got the script back, the heroine."
Zeng Li raised her fair neck, opened the passenger door with a proud look, and sat down gracefully.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you are really good at it. If you don't take action, you will win it steadily."
"of course."
"I'm telling you, I have an inside line at Nortel, and I'll help you find out."
Hu Jing was also happy for her best friend and said with a slightly excited smile: "You are lucky this time. Your partner is the most handsome school boy from Nortel in ten years. He is said to be more handsome than Li Ming and more handsome than Jin Chengwu."
"You are too out of tune. What does this mean?"
Zeng Li was a little speechless.
"Information, and he is already a well-known writer on the Internet in his freshman year. The script you are very interested in was written by him himself. He was the bureau of his own investment group, and Mr. Nortel personally endorsed his platform. How is it? Is it great?"
Hu Jing continued to speak enthusiastically.
"It's quite powerful."
Zeng Li paused while flipping through the script: "When did you become so nosy?"
"Are you stupid? A handsome young man with good looks, talent and potential, hurry up and eat young grass."
Hu Jing laughed and joked with her best friend while driving.
"You big-headed devil, I won't do such a thing."
Zeng Li rolled his eyes at Hu Jing angrily: "I really like this character."
"It seems that he is called Zhou."
"Zhou Yutang!"
"Ah, yes, yes, it's Zhou Yutang, have you seen it? How is it?"
"That's it."
"Whatever, let's be more specific, just say whether he is handsome or not."
"Handsome, handsome, the one you love most."
While Zeng Li was reading the script and bickering with Hu Jing, that sunny smile suddenly came to mind.
……………………
Snapped!
A flame jumped up.
The man turned his head slightly and lit a cigarette with the help of a silver lighter. His movements were careless, yet slightly unruly and handsome.
Zhou Yutang's mind was not on smoking. He was listening with interest to the gossips of two old fritters, Li Hao and Feng Boyuan.
From the Xiangjiang entertainment circle to the Beijing circle, from the romantic anecdotes of the Four Heavenly Kings to the overt and covert fights between the Four Dans, the topic then moved smoothly to the heaven and earth that night.
How punctual the girl is and how perfect the service is.
What about choosing a concubine, what about spa treatments, what about uniforms.
Zhou Yutang only felt that it was an eye-opener
Just when they heard the passion, the two middle-aged men stopped suddenly. It turned out that they had the urge to urinate, and the uncle and Li Hao made an appointment to go to the toilet to drain the water.
Zhou Yutang only took half a puff of a cigarette, then let it spread and burn quietly between his fingers.
He himself does not smoke, but sometimes people can't help themselves in the world. Today, two old men, Li Hao and Feng Boyuan, are mainly smokers. Zhou Yutang also came out with him. Rather than inhaling second-hand smoke, it is better to just have one next to him. .
I was bored, leaning against the wall and watching people coming in and out of the audition room.
Looking at the young faces, after their names were called, they went in full of hope, and then walked out full of disappointment, as if the whole person's energy had been drained, and the world was dark.
One after another, this scene is extremely heartbreaking.
Zhou Yutang flicked the ashes from his cigarette and smiled.
When you are young, you will be wildly fanciful, thinking that you are the pride of heaven, the center of the world, that you can dominate the world and attract cheers from everyone. But after entering society, you will be taught how to behave right away.
This circle is so cruel.
Those stars who stand at the top of the pyramid can live a glamorous life.
But for ordinary actors in the industry, without capital or connections, they can only endure hardships and look forward to the day when luck will come to them.
Just like Mr. Zhang Songwen, who graduated with the first grade from Nortel, and then worked for more than 300 film crews in the first year of graduation, but was rejected. In the second year, he worked for more than 200 film crews, but was also completely wiped out. In the end, he had to compromise for the sake of livelihood and stayed as a teaching assistant at the film school.
While he was lost in thought, he was suddenly stepped on. Zhou Yutang shrank his legs and raised his head to take a look.
The person who stepped on him was a girl.
Wearing a pink T-shirt with English letters printed on it and washed jeans that turned white, he has good facial features and looks very friendly, and his figure is a little plump.
This girl who looked quite happy seemed to have lost her soul. She was muttering to herself and her eyes were bright red.
Realizing that he had stepped on someone, he hurriedly bowed and apologized: "I'm sorry, handsome guy, I didn't mean to do it."
"It's okay, you did it on purpose." The handsome guy said casually.
"."
The chubby girl opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.
Zhou Yutang put out his cigarette and glanced at her: "What's wrong? You're so sad that your audition was rejected?"
"Well, I just farted." The chubby girl looked downcast.
"?"
Zhou Yutang was stunned and almost fell down.
"I don't mean now, I mean just now during the audition, the teachers' expressions were almost the same as yours."
As if aware of the strange look in the handsome guy's eyes, the chubby girl waved her hands repeatedly, her fair face turned red, and she said in despair:
"Actually, I just ate a potato today for the audition and didn't eat anything else. It's really unlucky."
"It's really unlucky. Then... what did the teacher say inside?" The corners of the handsome guy's mouth curled up, as if he was trying not to smile.
He knew that all kinds of weird things might happen when actors audition, but he really didn't know that there was such a thing.
I fart and then everyone covers their noses. Isn’t this social death?
A girl was eliminated from the audition. Logically speaking, this was a sad thing, but he couldn't help but want to laugh.
Cheer up and be serious, Zhou Yutang!
"They said they asked me to go back and wait for news. I understand. That's what they said. Doesn't this mean that it didn't pass?"
The chubby and cheerful girl scratched her hair in frustration, and said in a bad mood: "Forget it, I've looked away, maybe I'm really not the material, and it would be better to do something else...
Behave yourself later and don't be too nervous. I'm leaving first. "
"Don't be too sad. The results haven't come out yet, so there's no guarantee what will happen."
"thank you."
The chubby girl forced a smile and said, "You are a good person. I'm not so sad now."
Zhou Yutang raised his legs and shook the dust off his trousers, and finally couldn't help but smile brightly: "You must believe in yourself, maybe there will be a miracle?"
Thank you Prime Minister Giant Stinky Turtle for the reward, please support me with all kinds of votes
