Chapter 663 663. Finalizing the Candidate
Since she entered the gate of Huayi Company, Jing Tiantian's mood has never been calm. She was expectant at first, nervous while waiting, and excited to see Nie Wei.
Only at this moment, she felt panic for the first time.
The script in her hand was completely different from the excerpts in the materials she had read before. Not only did she feel unprepared, but she even felt a little guilty when facing Nie Wei's calm but deep eyes.
After all, her information was not very fair, just like a student got the basic standard answers the day before the final exam, but when the student entered the exam room that day, he found that his standard answers could only be used as a reference, and the real questions were not the same as the answers he thought.
She even suspected that her little action had been discovered and noticed by Nie Wei, so the questions on her exam were off-topic questions.
Thinking of this, Jing Tiantian quickly glanced at Nie Wei, but found that he was also staring at her, and immediately lowered her head in guilt.
When Jing Tiantian didn't see it, she lowered her head in panic, and Nie Wei's eyes flashed with doubt.
In fact, Jing Tiantian really thought too much. Although this was an interview for the second female lead of a play, Jing Tiantian was not to the point where Nie Wei needed to worry too much. Nie Wei didn't even investigate her, let alone know that she had collected the test questions he had asked during the interview at Beijing Electric?
Only students have always thought too much about this kind of little thoughts, and teachers who set questions don't worry so much. If they compete with students one by one, the teacher would have been exhausted to vomit blood.
Nie Wei took out this unfamiliar question purely by chance, because he only had a few test questions left that day, and one of them happened to have this excerpt that was not tested. He just took this one out and gave it to Jing Tiantian, and he didn't even look at the content of the test question carefully.
But Jing Tiantian scared himself and lost his composure.
The following performance was no surprise. How could Jing Tiantian, who was in a panic, perform well? Not only did she not perform as well as she expected, she even failed to reach her normal level. She only performed 50% to 60%. After the performance, she looked depressed, thinking that the opportunity might be gone.
"What are you panicking about?" Just as Jing Tiantian lowered her head in frustration and prepared to accept the result of failure, a voice suddenly sounded beside her ear.
Jing Tiantian looked up and found that Nie Wei, who was sitting on the chair, had stood up and walked in front of her, frowning slightly and asked.
"I don't know what you suddenly thought of in your heart, but acting is to forget yourself and put yourself into the role with all your heart, so that you can play this role well. I believe that what you just did was not your true level. I will give you another ten minutes to adjust your emotions and then perform again." Nie Wei said directly to Jing Tiantian.
When Nie Wei was talking, Jing Tiantian's expression was always dazed. It was not until Nie Wei finished speaking and sat back in his seat that she came back to her senses. She was extremely surprised by this sudden opportunity of "resurrection".
"Thank you, teacher."
"You still have nine and a half minutes. If you keep being polite, ten minutes will pass quickly." Nie Wei said very seriously. Jing Tiantian turned around and ran to the side, secretly stuck out her tongue, and then read the script seriously.
During these ten minutes, her mind was basically filled with Nie Wei's words just now, especially the word "selflessness". Although she had heard many actors and directors talk to her during this period of time in the industry, she always felt that it was not as touching as what Nie Wei said.
When the ten minutes were up, Nie Wei signaled her to perform the clip just now again.
This time, Jing Tiantian's performance did not feel as timid as before, and she was much more relaxed. It can be seen that this girl really thought about Nie Wei's words in these ten minutes.
However, Nie Wei was still somewhat dissatisfied with the girl's performance, and Nie Wei was also very curious. Was this actor, who had been criticized for his acting skills for a long time in the original time and space, really not good at this aspect?
Nie Wei became curious, and under the surprised eyes of Luo Kai and the staff beside him, he actually taught Jing Tiantian how to act.
Jing Tiantian didn't know what kind of person Nie Wei was on weekdays, but at this moment she felt that this future senior brother was really warm-hearted and knew a lot. She had been a little confused by the things that the acting teacher had said in the past, but at this moment, she could understand the play that Nie Wei told her at once.
Who is Nie Wei? He is a director with a box office of 400 million yuan and the top in China. If he doesn't know how to talk about acting, how can he make a movie that the audience likes?
Moreover, Nie Wei really treated Jing Tiantian as a rookie when he was explaining the play. He first analyzed the character's personality for Jing Tiantian, then told her the behavior and temperament that the character should have, and then the tone of the lines. He analyzed step by step and line by line in detail. Not to mention Jing Tiantian, even if there was really an idiot in acting, he would probably understand a lot after listening.
"This is how to interpret a role. First observe the overall character and understand that this is a very capable ballet dancer with a man who loves her very much. However, because of her background, she has an inferiority complex under her pride, so she has to work hard to move forward, to dance better roles, to make herself stronger, in order to exchange for a more equal status in love."
"After you have seen the whole, you can separate this character. She is a ballet dancer, so she must have the temperament of a dancer. When she walks, she must hold her head high and her chest high, and she cannot be hunched over. Because she is inferior, the pride wrapped outside must be more exposed. Therefore, this character must use pride as her protective color and show this trait at all times."
Nie Wei spent a full twenty minutes analyzing this role for Jing Tiantian. Luo Kai and the staff on the side almost popped their eyes out, because except on the set, they really have never seen Nie Wei give special treatment to the actors during the audition.
As soon as the twenty minutes were over, Nie Wei gave Jing Tiantian another ten minutes to think, and then let her continue the performance just now.
"I think he can give me this opportunity to let me be Mrs. Ji, the mother of the child wholeheartedly..." Jing Tiantian sat on a chair and confided her words to the air beside her.
If this scene is performed by someone who doesn't know how to act, it will either be funny or weird, but Jing Tiantian's performance at this moment is very unusual. Although she is narrating to the air, she gives people the feeling that there is someone she likes sitting there and listening.
"Very good." After Jing Tiantian's performance, Nie Wei clapped his hands and gave encouragement, which made Jing Tiantian very happy. She smiled brightly on the spot.
"Finally, let me ask you, have you signed with an agency?" Suddenly, Nie Wei asked. Luo Kai on the side was startled, and then immediately looked at Jing Tiantian. He had seen that Nie Wei seemed to have made a decision, and now it depends on the girl's answer.
"Can I join Huayi?" Jing Tiantian was also startled, obviously surprised by Nie Wei's sudden question. After being silent for ten seconds, she suddenly opened her mouth to answer.
Hearing this answer, Nie Wei smiled, nodded, and said, "Huayi welcomes you."
Ten minutes later, Jing Tiantian jumped out of Huayi, looking extremely excited. Although Nie Wei did not give her a formal reply, she knew very well in her heart that when Nie Wei said "Huayi welcomes you", she had already won the role of the second female lead.
Sitting in the car, Jing Tiantian told the driver to drive, then took out her mobile phone and called home.
"Dad, I don't need an agency anymore, I'm going to sign with Huayi."
"Oh, the results haven't come out yet, how do I know, but I think I'll be selected in nine out of ten times, hehe."
"Celebrate for me in the evening? Or just have a party, okay?"
The driver couldn't help laughing when he heard Jing Tiantian's joyful tone. It seems that the boss's daughter's audition this time was very successful. Who knows, the Jing family may really have a big star.
At this moment in Huayi Company, Nie Wei was also instructing Luo Kai to prepare Jing Tiantian's contract.
"All the minutes can be followed according to the plan of ordinary artists, and the term is set at five years. In addition, she will be included in the company's Eagle Wings Plan." The contract that Nie Wei gave Jing Tiantian was the most ordinary artist contract, but the last "Eagle Wings Plan" was the most important point of this contract.
This is a plan that Nie Wei will carry out in Huayi. Just like its name, it is to cultivate newcomers and give them more opportunities, including TV series, movies, variety shows, records and other aspects. Any artist who can join this plan means that the company has seen his potential and will naturally give her more and better resources.
Adding Jing Tiantian is completely the product of Nie Wei's selfishness.
Because the interview that day made Nie Wei see that Jing Tiantian was not as uncultivated as imagined. In fact, she also has a certain talent for acting. Maybe not the top, but also at the general level.
In Nie Wei's view, the reason why Jing Tiantian was criticized by so many people for her poor acting skills and box office poison in the original time and space was actually because people just followed the crowd. When everyone said that an actor had poor acting skills, even if the actor's acting skills were qualified, it seemed that if you didn't say that she was bad, you would be excluded from the circle.
So gradually, in the public's reputation, this actor was labeled as "bad".
But when Nie Wei really saw it with his own eyes, he found that Jing Tiantian was actually not dull in acting. She was able to listen to what Nie Wei told her, and she also made progress if she was given time to figure it out. It can be said that even if Jing Tiantian did not have the talent to become a queen of the screen, she was enough to be a qualified actor.
After discovering that Jing Tiantian was not unenlightened in acting, Nie Wei's balance in the heart of the second female role began to tilt infinitely towards her.
Although Zhang Meng is also excellent, in Nie Wei's opinion, Jing Tiantian is more suitable for this role.
First of all, Zhang Meng's temperament is more like a beautiful girl next door, and she doesn't look as generous and cheerful as Jing Tiantian. Although the temperament is high or low, each has its own merits, but the role itself also has its own temperament, and the second female role Anna is a white swan-like character, which is more in line with Jing Tiantian's own temperament.
In terms of dance, Jing Tiantian really does better. She doesn't need to act, and she has the posture of a professional dancer.
The most critical point is that Jing Tiantian's contract is much simpler. He still thinks that the girl is really smart when he thinks of the girl's words. She may have an agency, but she told Nie Wei that she intended to join Huayi, avoiding Nie Wei's answer, but gave Nie Wei a clear answer. This wit also shows that the girl has a high emotional intelligence.
People with high emotional intelligence are more likely to survive in this circle and have fewer chances to cause trouble for the company.
When it was almost time to get off work in the afternoon, Luo Yuan hurried to Nie Wei's office to report Zhang Meng's situation.
"Zhang Meng does have an agency, but the other party is a small agency. I think as long as we are willing to give them a sum of money, they should be willing to let go of Zhang Meng's contract. I don't think the amount will be too much. After all, Zhang Meng herself is not very popular. She is completely a newcomer." Luo Yuan said at the end, holding up three fingers to Nie Wei and promised: "Give me three days, I will definitely be able to negotiate it."
Looking at Luo Yuan's confident expression, Luo Kai on the side was hesitant to speak, and Nie Wei, who had been listening to Luo Yuan's words without interrupting, finally spoke at this moment.
"No need, I have a better candidate." Nie Wei said.
This answer completely stunned Luo Yuan, and even for a moment she wondered if she had intermittent amnesia, otherwise why did Nie Wei find a new candidate in such a short time?
Could it be someone between Xu Cui and He Jun?
Thinking of this, Luo Yuan immediately put forward her opinion: "Nie Wei, I don't think Xu Cui and He Jun have as much potential as Zhang Meng. I still decided to choose Zhang Meng as the second female lead of this TV series. You must also believe in my ability. I will not bring any trouble to the company, nor will it cause any loss to the company. I believe that Zhang Meng will earn back the money paid today ten times or a hundred times for the company in the future."
"I have never doubted your ability, nor have I doubted Zhang Meng's potential. I even know that child better than you do, but what I want to say is that the second female lead of "Fate" has really been selected." While Nie Wei was speaking, he had already found Jing Tiantian's MOKA from the drawer and gave it to Luo Yuan.
"It's this girl, named Jing Tiantian. I think she is more suitable for the role of Anna, more suitable than Zhang Meng." Nie Wei emphasized to Luo Yuan very seriously.
Looking at the photos of Jing Tiantian on MOKA, Luo Yuan, who had read the script, was speechless for a while. After a while, Luo Yuan put down the photos, looked up at Nie Wei, and suddenly asked: "That Zhang Meng, are you still looking for it?".
