Chapter 8: audition
Qiao Yu and Luo Huilan set foot on the high-speed train to Beishi on Saturday morning, arrived at the station in the afternoon and rushed to the crew in a hurry.
The address and contact information are given by Mr. Chen. The students of Mr. Chen in the crew, Liu Jieyuan, who plays the famous general of Chu State in the play, will introduce them for them.
The crew is filming in Hengdian, and most of the roles have been set, and the roles related to the roles that have not been set have been postponed, including King Yan Zhao and Yan Qi who auditioned for Qiao Yu.
Liu Yuanjie was filming, and his assistant took them to see the assistant director.
The assistant director is a bearded man, and his eyes lit up when he saw Qiao Yu.
"Are you here to audition for Yan Qi?"
"Yes, Director Zhang."
Director Zhang smiled and motioned them to sit.
"You have Yan Qi's face." He said bluntly, "This is half the battle."
Qiao Yu didn't answer, just waited for him to continue talking.
"Let's try the play first." It's impossible to play Yan Qi as a lunatic with an empty shell. "It's the part of Shaofu's house and the last scene where the palace is set on fire."
This time, there is no one to take part in the show, and there is no real performance at all, but this is the normal state of actor audition.
In the past few days, she has repeatedly studied Yan Qi's biography sent by Teacher Chen and his related scripts. For today's audition, she also spent 10,000 favorability points to rent an empty classroom from the system and rehearsed repeatedly.
This time, she could already see the approval in Director Zhang's eyes after finishing the part of Shaofuli, but Director Zhang motioned for her to take a break and move on to the next part.
On the side, Director Zhang’s mood was ups and downs. He was born in the Capital Film Academy. Since he was a boy, he had dreamed of making good films, so he hit it off with Director Liu, who was a senior.
"Ding Zhongyuan" took two people more than two years to prepare. Although this is a script of alternate history, they also want to make a majestic feeling. The two people were too cautious in casting, which also led to Yan Qi The corners have been honed for a long time.
This crazy, sober, rotten and pure role is not something that ordinary little fresh meat actors can control, and those who have acting skills do not match Yan Qi's appearance.
Yan Qi is a sinful flower, corrupt and beautiful, and his actor must have these two contradictory temperaments.
Today, he finally found a person who can play Yan Qi and give him life.
Then came the last scene of Yan Qi.
The palace was on fire, and the 300,000-strong army of the Chu division was about to break through the city gate. The palace people fled in all directions, and the abandoned king sat alone on the high roof, looking down at the bewildered beings.
Burn it, burn it, leave no rubble left.
At this moment, his mood was unprecedentedly calm.
Suddenly someone stood in front of him with a robe fluttering, and he raised his head, it turned out to be his brother.
The corners of his mouth were smiling, as gentle as ever.
King Yan Zhao, whose notoriety could stop a child from crying, saw his eyes turn red.
He tilted his head, looking a little aggrieved. He wanted to ask him why he came so late, but he was afraid that Brother Wang would be angry with him, so he refused to make trouble, and slowly squeezed a pleasing smile from the corner of his mouth.
"Brother, you have come to pick me up."
The phantom in front of him nodded and slowly opened his arms. In the sky of the fire, he was like a moth, happily rushing into his arms.
From now on, there will be no separation.
Here comes the end of the life of the king who destroyed his own country with his own hands.
Qiao Yu pulled away from him and bowed deeply to Director Zhang, "My performance is over."
After a while, Director Zhang got up from his seat, stretched out his right hand, and said with a smile, "Happy cooperation."
On the other hand, Luo Huilan, who was next to her, did not slow down. She never knew that her son could act so well.
Her son is clearly silent and introverted, not pushy. Even though he looks beautiful, he has always been a little timid and reluctant to raise his head to meet people. It's always normal to do anything, and there won't be such a flashy moment.
Or is it because after walking through the gate of hell, the whole person has figured it out and found a path that suits them?
In any case, her son is developing in a good direction, and she is happy in the end.
Next is to take the makeup photo.
The makeup artist adjusted several looks for her, which were similar to other male characters' makeup, and for Qiao Yu, she emphasized the current Wuqing.
It is rare for a makeup artist to praise her with good skin while applying makeup to her. Even if you don't wear makeup, you can't see any pores when you put your face in front of a 4K camera.
Really a person born to eat this bowl of rice.
In this 62-episode TV series, King Yan Zhao only appeared in a few episodes. He was a cannon fodder character who warmed up before the king of Chu attacked Zhao Weiliang and unified the Central Plains. There was no poster to shoot.
Halfway through, I met Liu Yuanjie, who came to visit specially after the play. The other party had already known through his assistant that she had been selected, and he had a smile on his face.
Qiao Yu was very grateful to Liu Yuanjie for giving her this opportunity, and made an appointment to get together with Teacher Chen next time in Jiangcheng.
