Chapter 661 661. Unexpected Person
The scene given by Li Dawei is difficult, and the difficulty lies in the beginning of the acting.
This scene was cut very cleverly, requiring the actors to cry first and then act. It is very important to cry quickly and express the feeling of grievance.
"Teacher, can I prepare my emotions first?" Zhang Meng took the script and looked at it. Apparently she also discovered the difficulty of this scene. However, she did not panic and asked Nie Wei calmly.
"Is five minutes of preparation time enough?" Nie Wei replied.
"That's enough, thank you, teacher." Zhang Meng bowed politely to Nie Wei, and then stood in the middle to figure out the emotions of the characters in the script.
Nie Wei and others were also carefully observing the change in her expression. If she were an ordinary person, she would definitely feel uncomfortable being stared at by so many people. It is naturally nonsense to try to figure out her feelings. But although Zhang Meng is not old, , but Shan has some acting experience and a good mentality. Even if he is stared at by people like Nie Wei, he does not panic and reads the script completely seriously.
Soon, the seriousness on Zhang Meng's face gradually turned into confusion. It was obvious that she had finished reading and fell into a thinking period. As her brows began to frown slightly and her eyes turned red, it was obvious that she had entered the stage of thinking. state, the next moment she looked up at Nie Wei, obviously ready to perform.
At this time, only about a minute and a half had passed since the timing started.
Facing Nie Wei and the others, the tears accumulated in Zhang Meng's eyes began to flow down her cheeks. With a few sobs, the girl truly put herself into the role and said aggrievedly: "I had to catch a flight in order to come back to celebrate your birthday. When...I fell down the stairs for me."
"The emotions are well controlled." Li Dawei said softly to Nie Wei beside him.
As for the line just now, if the girl just cried and said it, the emotion would seem a bit fake. This is also a common mistake that novice actors often make, but Zhang Meng paused slightly while reading the line just now. , this pause was placed before the incident that she was about to talk about that had a huge impact on her. It can be said that it perfectly reflected the twists and turns of the girl's inner emotions when she was describing this incident.
Zhang Meng's handling of it undoubtedly made this character much more vivid.
During the subsequent performances, the girl also performed very well. Although her acting skills were a bit raw, she grasped all the emotional transition points, which made Li Dawei sigh with emotion. This girl was born to be an actress.
"Here, I'll give you a tissue to wipe your tears." Luo Yuan took out the tissue she had prepared and handed it to Zhang Meng.
"Thank you, sister." Zhang Meng took the tissue and thanked her.
"Next, let's perform the dance you prepared, preferably ballet." Nie Wei watched Zhang Meng wipe her tears before continuing.
Zhang Meng first put the tissue on a small table aside, then ran a few steps back to the middle of the classroom and started an a cappella dance performance.
The dance moves prepared by Zhang Meng were very simple, and there were no dazzling skills in the process. It's not that the girl is calm, but everyone present can see that Zhang Meng's dancing skills are not advanced. Among amateur dancers, They don’t necessarily draw swords, and they can’t even be called professionals.
After the performance, Li Dawei asked her how many years she had studied dance, and the girl answered honestly that she had only studied for three years between the ages of seven and ten, and then she took the physical exam for three months before the art exam.
"You can go back and wait for the news. It may take a week. If you are not notified after a week, you have failed." Nie Wei said directly after listening to the girl's explanation.
Zhang Meng's expression was a little uneasy, and she obviously knew that her dance just now was average, so when she left the room, she looked at Nie Weiwei specifically to observe his face, but Nie Weiwei always looked indifferent, which made her It was impossible to tell whether his performance satisfied him or not.
Zhang Meng left the classroom. Li Dawei first motioned to the staff on the side not to call the next person, and then suggested to Nie Wei on the side: "Just choose this girl. I think this girl is very good. She must have good looks and acting skills." Although her acting skills and dancing skills are not good, her foundation is pretty good. Anyway, it will be some time before filming starts, so we can arrange a dance teacher for her to learn from White Swan. "
"I agree. I think among today's students, she has the best overall quality." Luo Yuan on the side also agreed.
After listening to the two people's suggestions, Nie Wei knew in his heart that Zhang Meng was indeed the best performer among all the female students today, but she was still far from the standard that Nie Wei was satisfied with. The girl's dance was a weak point. If she didn't have this shortcoming, Nie Wei may directly decide to choose her.
In the end, Nie Wei did not agree to their suggestions and continued to call the girls below to come in. However, the last two girls did not bring any surprises to Nie Wei.
"Teacher, thank you for today. We will inform you immediately after we go back to discuss the results." All the female students have been interviewed, and Nie Wei is also preparing to leave the school with her own people. After all, her arrival is normal for Jingdian Teaching is also influential.
Wang Jinsong smiled and waved his hand, signaling Nie Wei to get out of here. The relationship between the two of them did not require so many thank yous.
When Nie Wei came out of the campus, Luo Kai drove his car downstairs. There were many students around at the moment, but none of them came forward, obviously because they had been warned by the teacher.
Nie Wei waved to the students around him, and after receiving a cheering response, he boarded the nanny car with everyone and left the campus of Beijing Electronics.
In the car, Li Dawei mentioned Zhang Meng again, wanting Nie Wei to decide on this second female role.
"I really think this girl is good, but she is a little small, but these are not problems. The key is that the girl is really likable and her acting skills are not bad."
"Didn't you support Xu Cui?" Nie Wei looked at Li Dawei and asked with a smile.
"Xu Cui is indeed good, but it's a pity that actors are afraid of being compared with others. Compared with Zhang Meng, I think Xu Cui is a little worse. On the contrary, this Zhang Meng, when I saw her for the first time, I felt that she could be popular, just like... just like the feeling I had when I saw Lin Yifei."
Li Dawei's words made Nie Wei's eyes widen in surprise. He didn't expect that this guy's vision was really good, and the template he found for Zhang Meng in the entertainment industry was very accurate.
"I also think this girl can be popular." Luo Yuan on the side suddenly interrupted.
Both of them said so. Nie Wei actually preferred Zhang Meng in his heart, so he was ready to make a decision right away. However, before making the decision, Nie Wei suddenly thought of something and swallowed the words on his lips.
Li Dawei got off the car halfway, while Luo Yuan and Luo Kai returned to the company with Nie Wei.
"Luo Yuan, come to my office later. I have something to tell you." When the three of them were about to separate after entering the company gate, Nie Wei suddenly said to Luo Yuan.
Luo Yuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded immediately, and did not ask Nie Wei what it was about. After all, she would know when she went to Nie Wei's office. She had learned a lot in the past two years, including restraining her curiosity.
Luo Kai, who had been following Nie Wei, did not have so many thoughts. After entering Nie Wei's office, he immediately asked about his curiosity.
"It's nothing serious. I just want Luo Yuan to investigate whether Zhang Meng has an agency now. If she does, she can't be selected for so long. Although I want to promote newcomers, I also promote newcomers for Huayi. I don't want to give such a good opportunity to other companies for nothing." Nie Wei explained with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Luo Kai nodded repeatedly: "Indeed, such a good opportunity must be given to the company's artists."
Soon Luo Yuan came to Nie Wei's office. Without Nie Wei saying anything, Luo Kai on the side told her what Nie Wei wanted to tell her.
After listening to Luo Kai's narration, Luo Yuan glanced at Nie Wei, Nie Wei nodded, and then Luo Yuan fell silent.
"If the other party has an agency, can we try to poach them?" After a long silence, Luo Yuan suddenly asked.
"It depends on what it takes. If it takes too much, it's not worth it." Nie Wei doesn't have a collecting habit. He must take in celebrities when he sees them. Now Huayi has many young actresses who are better than Zhang Meng, and he doesn't necessarily have to use Zhang Meng to play this role.
But Luo Yuan obviously thinks highly of Zhang Meng, and actually wants to try to poach her.
Nie Wei did not stop her, but also set conditions for her, that is, no trouble, especially no impact on the company's reputation. After all, Nie Wei had just said because of Chen Qiaoen's incident that Huayi hated poaching the most. If he was slapped in the face because of Zhang Meng's incident, neither Nie Wei nor Huayi could accept it.
Luo Yuan obviously also considered this point, so she immediately nodded and promised that this matter would be carried out in a low-key manner.
"You don't have to worry too much, maybe this child doesn't have an agency yet." Seeing Luo Yuan's face was a little distressed, Nie Wei smiled and counseled her, but Nie Wei himself didn't quite believe this statement.
That kind of girl can be favored by Nie Wei, Luo Yuan and Li Dawei, and she is not a child without works. Others are not blind, how could they not discover the potential of this girl? In Nie Wei's mind, it is estimated that this girl has been signed by another agency.
Since they have to keep a low profile, they can't use the company's power in a big way for a long time, so Luo Yuan's investigation will take some time, and only when the news from Zhang Meng is confirmed, Nie Wei can make a choice for the second female lead.
As for Xu Cui and He Jun, Nie Wei, who are old students in the school, found out from Wang Jinsong that they currently have no agency.
According to Nie Wei's thoughts, Zhang Meng is definitely the first choice at present. In addition, there are two other candidates, Xu Cui and He Jun. If Zhang Meng is really unable to join Huayi, Xu Cui and He Jun are the second choice. Among these two, Nie Wei prefers He Jun more.
"It seems that there is no way to call Teacher Wang before Luo Yuan's investigation is completed." Nie Wei thought so, but the reality told him that he couldn't call, but Wang Jinsong could call.
"Are you saying that there is another female student who wants to audition? What happened that day that she didn't come?" Nie Wei asked with a frown.
Wang Jinsong called to tell Nie Wei that there was another female student with good conditions who wanted to audition for this role, which surprised Nie Wei a little. After all, he had already notified Beijing Electric in advance, so how could a female student miss it?
Was it that this student didn't take this audition seriously, or was there really a special situation? Nie Wei was very curious about how she persuaded Wang Jinsong to plead for her?
"Actually, she is not a formal student of our school. She just passed the art exam and has not officially enrolled yet. She should be a freshman in the second half of the year, Class 07." Wang Jinsong's explanation solved most of Nie Wei's doubts.
It turns out that it was not that she did not receive the notice, but that she did not know about it at all.
It is estimated that this prospective student may have only learned from yesterday's report that she went to Beijing Electric for an interview for a new idol drama.
"Teacher, tell me the truth, does this prospective student have a background?"
"I can't hide it from you. Her family conditions are indeed good, and she has helped the school a little, so the school wants to ask you to see if you can give her a chance, but you don't have to consider these. The background is not considered a background for you." Wang Jinsong did not hide it and told Nie Wei about it.
"Nie Wei, if you feel embarrassed, I will help you refuse it." Nie Wei did not agree immediately. Wang Jinsong thought that Nie Wei was embarrassed, so he found a way for Nie Wei to save face.
However, Nie Wei was not really embarrassed. Anyway, he was worried about this role recently. Since Wang Jinsong specially recommended a candidate with good qualities on behalf of the school, he could take a look.
"Teacher Wang, you have already said so, what else can I say? Let this girl come to Huayi Company this afternoon, and can you give me a copy of her information?" Nie Wei asked.
"Of course, no problem." Wang Jinsong laughed happily. He didn't care whether this girl could be selected or not. The main thing was that Nie Wei agreed to this matter. He felt very happy and proud.
Ten minutes later, Luo Kai came in with a profile sheet and handed it to Nie Wei.
"This is just sent from Beijing Electric. It says that the female student will come for an interview this afternoon. I think she looks pretty." Luo Kai said with a smile after handing the form to Nie Wei. When he took the form, he looked at the photo on the form. It was indeed a very beautiful girl.
However, when he said this, he didn't realize how strange Nie Wei's expression was after seeing the photo and content on the form.
"Nie Wei, Nie Wei?" When Nie Wei looked at the form and came back to his senses, he heard Luo Kai calling him.
He raised his head and looked at Luo Kai, who immediately smiled and asked, "You seem distracted. I want to ask where the interview will be held this afternoon."
"Just find a small meeting room." Nie Wei replied.
