Chapter 143: Jiang Lingxi doesn’t look like she’s acting
Chapter 143 Jiang Lingxi doesn’t look like she’s acting
“The general died in a hundred battles…”
five minutes later.
The audition hall returned to silence.
Wei Minmin turned to look at the audience with a questioning look on her face.
Wei Xiao couldn't help but raise his hand to wipe his face and nodded, "Okay, that's all."
Before walking off the stage, Wei Minmin glanced at Xu Qingmei, who was performing almost at the same time as her.
It was the first time she had the opportunity to act with this now famous entertainment industry veteran, and she had just now truly felt his superb acting skills and his command of lines. Even if it's just a temporary scene, it's still impossible to find any shortcomings.
However, she no longer felt the trembling feeling from the inside out throughout her body that she had experienced when she acted with Jiang Lingxi.
That feeling cannot be expressed in words. Looking at it now, perhaps only Jiang Lingxi can feel it.
Xu Qingmei received Wei Minmin's gaze and thought she was marveling at her acting skills, so she smiled and praised: "Minmin's acting skills are very good. I didn't hold anything back in the part just now, but I think Minmin can still handle it." It’s quite relaxing. Director Wei is indeed a family!”
With her status in the entertainment industry, she is fully qualified to comment on the acting skills of most people in this industry.
Wei Minmin couldn't help but pursed her lips when she heard what she said.
The reason why she was able to perform stably in front of Xu Qingmei just now, and was not even suppressed by the other party's acting skills, was that she believed in her own ability, but there was also something that could not be denied.
She was still a little bit emotional, still immersed in the last scene.
Even though Jiang Lingxi left her sight long after the audition, she still couldn't get out of it completely.
This will be the same scene again, and it will inevitably be affected by the residual emotions.
Therefore, at this moment, if other people heard the praise that would make them jump with excitement, she just smiled modestly and said, "Sister Qingmei, thank you."
Just when Xu Qingmei was about to walk off the stage gracefully with her skirt in hand, Wei Xiao finally stopped his hand that had been drawing circles on the paper with a pen just now, and looked carefully at a name in the circle, "Teacher Xu, please." Wait a moment."
Xu Qingmei’s steps were a beat.
I have seen other actors stay on stage after their auditions, waiting to be commented on. Is it possible that she still needs it?
Wei Xiao said in a deep voice: "Teacher Xu, why don't you try the role of Emperor Yuan Zhao's biological mother, Queen Yide?"
Xu Qingmei was stunned after hearing this request.
When she came to her senses, the smile on her face faded by three points, "Queen Yide? Director Wei, what does this mean?"
Wei Xiao also felt a little headache at this moment, but still held on to hope and patiently explained: "Emperor Yuan Zhao's biological mother, Empress Yide Fu Qingshan, was also a tiger girl in the general family. After entering the palace, her mother's demeanor was innumerable. Teacher Xu just said The audition made me think that maybe this role is more suitable for you.”
But Xu Qingmei did not feel that she was being comforted and said, "If I remember correctly, the role of Fu Qingshan can only be ranked as the third female role, even behind Wei Fuying's role."
“Teacher Xu must have known before he contacted me that I, Wei Xiao, never choose actors based on their talent. I only look at whether the actor fits my role.”
Xu Qingmei narrowed her eyes, "So, Director Wei has found an actor who is more suitable for the role of Jiang Yuanzhao than me?"
Wei Xiao didn't say anything, but in Xu Qingmei's eyes, this was acquiescence.
“Then I’m really a little curious, who is this dark horse?”
Wei Xiao slowly shook his head, "I'm sorry that I can't reveal the main creative roles until they are completely decided."
Xu Qingmei raised her head slightly, "The role of Queen Yide should be left to someone else, Director Wei."
She doesn’t care whether this role is really suitable for her as Wei Xiao said, but as long as it’s not the first female lead, she won’t take it. She is a dignified Xu Qingmei. She did not return to China just to be the third female lead in a TV series to make people laugh.
The graceful figure disappeared behind the door a little hastily, and no one spoke in the audition hall for a while.
After all, they all noticed the unhappiness between Wei Xiao and Xu Qingmei just now.
After a while, Wei Minmin, who couldn't stand the depression, tiptoed up to Wei Xiao and called out in a low voice: "Brother-in-law?"
Wei Xiao pinched his eyebrows and looked up at his eldest niece, "I'm fine. In fact, when I asked Xu Qingmei what she said, I guessed that she would most likely not agree."
But this is a work that he worked hard on, and naturally he wanted the actor who felt most suitable to play it.
Even if he changes his mind on the spot, he still admits that he is wrong.
"Well," Wei Minmin saw the name circled on the paper in front of him, "Uncle, what do you mean, the first girl prefers Jiang Lingxi?"
"Hmm." Wei Xiao also thought about it for a long time. It can be said that he has been thinking about it since watching Jiang Lingxi's audition. Until Xu Qingmei auditioned for the same clip, he was actually more inclined to Xu Qingmei, whom he had chosen early on.
But after watching Xu Qingmei’s audition, he could not help but compare it with Jiang Lingxi’s previous audition.
It is true that Xu Qingmei’s acting skills are definitely better than Jiang Lingxi’s, but sometimes, acting skills can’t represent everything, at least this time.
He couldn't tell, but he knew very well that if he gave up Jiang Lingxi and still chose Xu Qingmei, he would probably regret it.
“What about you, what do you think?” Wei Xiao asked Wei Minmin again.
Wei Minmin pointed at her opponent, "Well, I also think Jiang Lingxi's acting is pretty good. No, I don't think she acts like one."
Wei Xiao never thought that he could experience the feeling of enlightenment from his eldest niece.
He then looked at the professors sitting next to him, "Who do you think between the two of them is more in line with the historical Emperor Yuan Zhao?"
Several professors are usually obsessed with the study of history, and they have no idea about the popularity and status gap between Jiang Lingxi and Xu Qingmei in the circle.
At this moment, we were asked for our opinion. After discussing in a low voice for a while, one of the most senior professors replied: "In terms of age, the one who just left is more suitable. But we still all agree that the little girl named Jiang Lingxi in front of us is more suitable." Our feeling is more consistent with the Emperor Yuan Zhao recorded in historical materials.”
These words undoubtedly made Wei Xiao more determined, "Thank you a few professors for their opinions."
Wei Minmin couldn't help but secretly rejoice, "Uncle, can I play the role of Wei Fuying?"
In the past, she just wanted to get this cool role where she could play her ancestor, but now she has to add that she can't wait to play opposite Jiang Lingxi again.
Because the eldest niece was getting too carried away, Wei Xiao poured cold water on him, "You are not the only one who is auditioning for Wei Fuying. Your shortcoming is that you are too unstable. I have to think about it."
Wei Minmin quickly stood up at attention, her face slumped.
But Wei Xiao no longer looked at her, "There's still a while before dinner, let's discuss the auditions of other actors."
Although he has almost all the candidates for the female roles, there is really no male actor, especially the role of Shen Moqing who plays the most important role, among the male actors who came to audition today that he is particularly satisfied with!
“Let’s talk about the role of Shen Moqing first. Among the actors who came to audition today, are there any actors that the professors think are suitable?”
"Historical records record that Shen Moqing, the Prime Minister of Dayin during the Yuanzhao period, was born in a noble family. He was talented, elegant, elegant, and had good looks and literary talents. When he was young, he even attracted people to throw fruit into the car. Later, there were rumors that in the Yuan Dynasty After the death of Emperor Zhao, he actually did not die of illness, but lived in seclusion, because some people said that he saw an immortal coming and going, and it was this person he was talking about." The professor paused at this point, "Although there are historical records. There may be some exaggeration in it, but you can also imagine the grace and grace of this historical figure. As for those who came to audition today," he shook his head slowly, "no one can compare to Shen Moqing."
"There is one person I know." Before Wei Xiao's eyes could light up, the professor shook his head, "But he is not an actor in your circle, and he probably doesn't have time to act in TV series. "
Wei Xiao: “…”
Professor, you know how to whet your appetite!
