Chapter 796: Military drama audition
Chapter 796 Military Drama Audition
Those who came to participate in this audition basically arrived a lot of time in advance.
First of all, the audition location is too far from the city. If you accidentally arrive late, you will never be accommodated in the audition for this drama.
Being late means that the audition qualification will be directly cancelled, and everyone will not be on time.
Secondly, everyone also wants to see how the audition went in the morning so as to be mentally prepared.
So at this moment, not only was Jiang Lingxi watching the auditions of many male actors, there were also several actresses with agents and assistants who were also watching the male actors sweating profusely from the edge of the venue.
From time to time, he glanced in Jiang Lingxi's direction.
After all, in military dramas, the appearance requirements of actors are secondary, but the most important thing is whether they can endure hardship and whether they can keep up with the physical fitness.
It’s useless no matter how beautiful you are if you can’t bear the hardship of being able to wallow in mud soup without hesitation and if you don’t have enough physical strength.
Jiang Lingxi's appearance here surprised many people.
Those who are qualified to film this military drama must have a clean net worth, but in fact, there are not many first-tier stars who would come out to **** it up.
After all, military-themed dramas are unlikely to become big hits based on past experience. In addition, the filming process is much more difficult than other dramas.
Since there is a better script and a more glamorous image, why go to the military drama and get frustrated, and this tossing will take at least two or three months.
For this reason, those military dramas filmed in the past rarely featured those popular A-list celebrities. People were busy filming beautiful modern and ancient puppets.
Military themes are basically the main battlefield for second- and third-tier actresses.
This time, Jiang Lingxi, who was very popular, suddenly appeared, and it was easy to know that there was no shortage of good scripts in his hands. They couldn't help but be surprised.
Everyone's psychological activities were particularly unanimous when they saw Jiang Lingxi: Why is she here too?
Jiang Lingxi was not unaware of the looks around her. Even Tong Yue, who was standing aside, noticed it.
Actually, Tong Yue was a little discouraged at this moment.
She was quite enthusiastic when watching military dramas before. Not long ago, she came across such a good project that was launched during the summer vacation. She was so excited that she told her own artists about it.
Jiang Lingxi nodded happily. She was no stranger to military life, but that was in the ancient times when she lived in her previous life.
To be honest, I really want to see what the modern army is like. Anyway, when you see relevant photos or videos on the Internet, it can make people excited.
Although this is just filming, I can still have some influence.
So the two hit it off immediately, and it was time for the audition.
But no matter how passionate she felt when she was watching TV, now that she was at the scene, Tong Yue felt a little numb after watching it for just a while.
It was too hard, harder than she imagined.
Looking at the other actresses around who came to audition, they were basically from the second or third tier. There were even a few that she had no impression of at all. They were either newbies or those from the 18th tier who were too little known.
Except for our own artists, there is not a single A-list talent!
Think about it, if a small flower has no worries about resources, why would anyone bother to come to this military drama?
It was only now that she realized how arbitrary her original decision was.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at Jiang Lingxi who was standing aside. She saw that Jiang Lingxi was looking at the shooting range not far away with interest. From the visual inspection, she had no intention of withdrawing from the competition, so she just said what she said. Swallowed it back.
If her artist likes it and is willing to shoot it, what else can her manager say? Just shoot it!
It’s lunch time in a blink of an eye.
The military camp used for auditions and post-production filming used to be a real military camp, but it was abandoned.
Since it is now used for filming TV series, it has been renovated and there is also a canteen.
A group of actors who come to audition and their respective agents can go to the cafeteria to eat.
Of course, there are no exquisite stir-fries or vegetable salads specially designed for weight loss. The big pot of rice with just one water requires everyone to use their own utensils to prepare the meal. However, the actors who came to the audition this time, whether male or female, were not little birdies.
It’s a joke, filming a military drama is a purely strenuous job. What if you only eat a few vegetable leaves and faint while filming?
So Tong Yue looked at Jiang Lingxi's packed meal, which was no less than what the actor at the next table ate, and didn't say anything.
Instead, he advised: "The audition in the afternoon looks like a physical job. Eat more. If you don't have enough, go ahead and take care of yourself."
When Jiang Lingxi heard what she said, she paused while picking up her chopsticks. "This is the first time I hear you advise me to eat more."
“Ahem, this time and that time. Eat, eat!”
At 3:30 in the afternoon, seeing the clouds covering up the hot sun, the actress's audition began.
After all, the weather was late June or early July, and the person auditioning was an actress but not a real female soldier, so the director was still a little considerate.
However, this consideration is also very limited.
It started with a group run of more than a dozen actresses.
Jiang Lingxi knelt down and tightened the laces of his sneakers.
It would be really stupid to wear a skirt and high heels for this audition.
So everyone wears lightweight, sweat-absorbent sportswear and sneakers.
Stand to the starting point, give the order, and start running until you can run no longer.
Running can best reflect an individual’s physical strength and endurance, and this is only the first level of assessment.
Ten minutes later, some people have fallen behind and are slowly divided into three echelons.
I could still easily continue running at a constant speed, but my speed gradually slowed down. I couldn’t hold on to my knees and stopped to gasp for air.
Standing at the edge of the runway, the director, who was a veteran, held a notebook in his hand and took notes from time to time to review the performance of the actors.
When another ten minutes had passed and the line was wider, he simply blew the whistle and said, "Stop!"
Everyone’s situation is pretty much under control, and there’s no need to keep running.
Of course, there is only one person left who can insist on running instead of walking or walking quickly.
He drew a circle in front of Jiang Lingxi's name.
Take a ten-minute break and it’s the second project.
The mud pit is large enough to cover hundreds of square meters. If you jump into it, the muddy water will directly cover your calves and close to your knees.
In the past, male actors had to do ten push-ups after going down to be qualified. Female actors had to do half push-ups and five were considered qualified.
Rao was mentally prepared before and when I saw it in the morning, but now standing on the side of the mud pit, watching the turbid mud soup inside, I still can't help but want to retreat.
While hesitating, there was only a "pop" sound, and someone jumped down.
Jiang Lingxi had seen how the male actors did push-ups in the morning. Although she had never done it before, it was quite easy for her to follow the example.
As for the mud soup, it is not just water mixed with mud, but it is also artificially made and not natural. It has a bit of earthy smell. It is not like I have been in a dirtier environment when marching and fighting.
Hold your breath and do a complete push-up, then the second and third...
The gray sportswear quickly became soaked and turned yellow with muddy water, and muddy water dripped down his face, but his face was always calm, with firm brows and eyes.
Tong Yue watched it again and again, covering her heart with distress, and felt an unspeakable pride in her heart.
"Poof", just when Jiang Lingxi was about to finish the last push-up, someone gritted his teeth and jumped down...
