Chapter 1337 1439. Audition (Part 2)

Although this TV series has multiple protagonists, it also has a clear male and female lead.

The male lead is naturally Huang Xiaoming, and as for the female lead, one will be selected from the six actresses selected today.

The audition time for the six actresses combined was no more than an hour. Basically, when one of them came in, Nie Wei asked her to make a few facial expressions and then perform a segment.

The acting skills of these actors are unquestionable. Nie Wei actually chose the kind of feeling after being substituted into the role.

Some people have good acting skills, but no matter how good their acting skills are, they will seem out of place in certain roles. Some people, even if their acting skills are very immature, will still amaze the audience if they choose the right role. The most typical example is Lin Yifei, who played Xiaolongnu in The Return of the Condor Heroes.

Apart from the feelings, Nie Wei really feels that Lin Yifei was born for this role. Her temperament and appearance are suitable, and she received this role at such an appropriate age.

Other actresses who played this role more or less did not fit the role. Even Li Ruotong's version of Xiaolongnu, which is regarded as a classic by many audiences, was at least close to 30 years old when she played this role.

The 18-year-old girl she played was always not as natural as Lin Yifei, who was 17 or 18 years old.

This feeling is very important to Nie Wei. Actors should not only look at their acting skills, but also their image and temperament.

In ten minutes, Nie Wei actually paid more attention to the actors themselves, looking at their figures, appearances, postures and conversations, and then made a silent comparison in his mind.

When the audition of this group of actors was over, Xu Jing took the data sheet and asked, "How is it, which one do you like?"

"I have two candidates, Zhang Junning and Wan Qian." Nie Wei was silent for a moment and replied.

This is the one he picked out from the six actors who best fits his idea of ​​the female lead. Both of them have good acting skills and their images also meet Nie Wei's expectations for the heroine. Their slightly weak popularity is a small problem, but their qualifications are sufficient. Since they can be selected into the candidate list, this point can be completely ignored. After all, the main purpose of this TV series is to promote Nie Wei. The actors just need to do their job well, and popularity is not so important.

Of course, both sides have their own advantages. Zhang Junning looks pure, but her temperament gives people a sense of perseverance and unwillingness to admit defeat. She was very generous during the audition, and she didn't have the kind of coquettish feeling of Taiwanese girls. In addition, when she introduced herself, she also said that she loves sports and is familiar with baseball, which is quite a plus.

Nie Wei also checked her information. She is the image spokesperson of Clover, shoots good commercials, and privately participates in activities such as half marathons. What surprised him even more was that this woman also loves extreme sports.

As for Wan Qian, she doesn't have the advantage of Zhang Junning in sports, but her temperament is really good.

"Which one should I choose?" Xu Jing asked tentatively.

"What do you think? I want to hear your advice." Nie Wei did not answer, but asked back.

"I think? Well... I think Zhang Junning is good." Xu Jing thought about it seriously and gave his answer.

Both actresses are good actors. In Xu Jing's eyes, they are both qualified for this role. After all, it is a romantic idol drama, and the role itself is not too difficult.

But compared with the two actresses, Zhang Junning's popularity is still higher, and he prefers the pure type of Zhang Junning in terms of image. Wan Qian's appearance is still a little different from Zhang Junning.

"Oh, I think Wan Qian is more suitable."

"Uh..." Xu Jing was almost choked and almost fell over. He even wondered if he had offended Nie Wei. Otherwise, why did Nie Wei choose the other actor after he made his suggestion?

He felt that Nie Wei was targeting him sincerely.

In fact, his guess was completely correct. Nie Wei really targeted him. Why was AB's information on the first page when he came in? Nie Wei could guess that this matter was related to Xu Jing after a little thought. After all, it was Xu Jing who handed him the information and said so many good things about AB. Why did she do this for no reason?

The answer is obvious.

And what Nie Wei hates most is the kind of people who use the company's TV series to do favors. If it weren't for Xu Jing's ability, he would have wanted to fire him on the spot. Of course, the other party had left a bad impression on him. The cooperation in this TV series ended, and there would be no next time.

Xu Jing was confronted by Nie Wei, and it seemed that Nie Wei had something against him. He was angry, but he didn't dare to vent it on Nie Wei, so when he auditioned for the role of the son of the male protagonist in the next play, he was almost black-faced throughout the whole process.

Some young male actors were not mentally competent. When Xu Jing was in a bad mood, they were extremely nervous and their performance was naturally unsatisfactory. After the interview, these actors were very unhappy. They felt that their poor performance was largely related to Xu Jing's bad mood, and they couldn't help complaining in private.

Xu Jing didn't know that his bad mood had inadvertently offended a group of young male actors with potential.

"Sanshi brother and Sizi brother, who do you think is suitable?" After the audition of this group of actors, Nie Wei asked Xu Jing again.

Xu Jing thought to himself, you don't listen to me again, why ask me?

Of course, he was angry, but he still forced a stiff smile to Nie Wei and said, "Mr. Nie, whichever one you like is the one, both of them are good actors."

"Then let's go with Sizi brother." Nie Wei smiled and said.

When Xu Jing heard this answer, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. Both actors are excellent among the post-00 male stars in the circle, but he felt that Nie Wei would prefer Sanshi brother. After all, the two sides have cooperated many times and have a good personal relationship. In this situation where the difference in strength is negligible, personal relationships are very important.

But I didn't expect that Nie Wei would choose Sizi brother.

This surprised Xu Jing, because he also hoped that Sizi brother would play this role, not because of anything else, but because Sizi brother is a real top star. With his participation, the TV series at least does not need to worry about the on-demand rate online.

As for the ratings of the satellite, there are so many big-name actors, how can it be the turn of Sizi brother to come out.

"I agree, Sanshi brother's smile is sunny, which is not in line with the role positioning. Sizi brother is closer to the original character, and he looks like a well-behaved image, but he really looks like a rebel. I am looking forward to it." Xu Jing said with a smile.

"It should be the experience he gained from the movie he made before. Anyway, it's good." Nie Wei had his reasons for choosing people, just like he chose Wan Qian before. The reason was not just to provoke Xu Jing, so Nie Wei was not so bored, but Wan Qian made him feel more suitable.

Nie Wei was also choosing between Sanshi brother and Sizi brother. He would not give this role to him just because of his relationship with Sanshi brother.

"The next role is Lin Huiyin." Nie Wei looked at the remaining six or seven pages of information in his hand and told the staff beside him to find the remaining actors for auditions.

Lunch and other things, it's still in time to eat after the audition.

"It's eleven o'clock, why don't you have lunch first." Hearing that Nie Wei was going to continue the audition, Xu Jing hurriedly said that he didn't have breakfast and was a little hungry now.

"Is the food in the cafeteria okay?" Nie Wei asked.

Xu Jing didn't care about what to eat, the key was to fill his stomach, not to mention that Fanxing's cafeteria was also famous for its delicious food in the industry, so he naturally had no objection.

Seeing him nod, Nie Wei asked the staff to prepare two meals and he also solved the lunch problem. Including the group of stars, Nie Wei also asked the staff to ask them, those who want to eat in the cafeteria should go directly to the cafeteria, and those who want to eat out should not go too far, and it is best to solve the lunch problem in a short time.

Nie Wei did not specifically stipulate an exact time, but the four words "no waiting after the expiration date" are absolutely deterrent to this group of actors who are looking forward to the opportunity.

So after the staff notified, everyone chose to eat in the staff restaurant of Fanxing.

"The food at Fanxing tastes really good."

"It feels better than the five-star hotel I ate at last time, and there are many more styles."

"I just looked at the prices, they are so cheap, cheaper than the small restaurants outside."

"My agent used to work at Fanxing Group. He said that the canteen here is not only cheap, but the company also gives them a meal subsidy every month, which is basically free. The employee benefits here are really good."

No one felt that they were treated unfairly during the canteen meal. On the contrary, everyone ate with relish. It felt that the food at Fanxing was really as delicious as the legend said.

"Maomao, eat less, you have an audition in the afternoon." Maomao's mother saw her daughter eating half a bowl of rice and wanted to continue eating, so she quickly stopped her.

It's not that she wants to abuse her own daughter, but eating too much will affect her performance.

If you eat too much, you will feel sleepy and lose your concentration. Acting is a job that requires extreme concentration. And if you eat too much, you will burp easily. If you burp halfway through reciting your lines during the audition, then it will be all over.

That’s why Mao Mao’s mother stopped him at the right time.

Mao Tongtong smiled embarrassedly: "This braised pork is so delicious, I can’t help but be greedy."

"After the audition, I will buy some meat for you tonight."

"Okay." Mao Tongtong put down her chopsticks without much lingering feelings. As a female star, it is necessary to control your mouth. If you don’t have this self-control, then you don’t need to be a star.

And those so-called foodie personalities, who eat without getting fat, are basically just personalities. For example, a certain four-character female star looks greedy in the show and eats everything she sees. In fact, if you pay attention, you will find that she has never tasted those high-calorie foods, and most of what she really swallows are low-calorie fruits.

Most of the so-called foodie female stars in the circle are fake, just to get closer to the fans and appear to be very friendly.

Of course, there are real ones, such as Yang Xiaoli, who has been "expanding" all the way. This girl is a real foodie. Comparing the photos of her when she participated in the show with the photos after the show, her face and figure have become rounder. In the past year or so, the company has also controlled her diet, but she still eats snacks secretly, or takes the opportunity to indulge herself on the show. As a result, her weight has always exceeded 100, which worries her management team.

Last time I heard Zhou Duoduo's gossip, Yang Xiaoli seems to have been forced to give up staple foods. Yang Xiaoli herself has also begun to lose weight consciously. After all, she wants to be an actor and start with idol dramas. A "big back and bear waist" appearance does not fit the general personality of the heroine of idol dramas.

For example, the heaviest weight of the actresses who will audition next is only 92 kilograms on the data sheet, which is because of her slightly taller height. Normally, the weight of these actresses will be between 80 and 90 kilograms.

After all, the current TVs are all 16:9 widescreen, while the TV stations still output 4:3, which leads to the fact that the stars we see on TV are often in a "squashed" state, that is, they look slightly wider than they actually are.

This leads to some stars who are not fat to become very fat on TV, which indirectly leads to the current actresses trying their best to lose weight in order to be more photogenic on TV.

The audition did not continue until one o'clock in the afternoon.

Most of the people in the lounge had already dispersed, leaving only six actresses and assistants. There was basically no communication throughout the whole process. After all, everyone knew that they were all competitors.

For young actors like them, such an opportunity to star in a TV series written by Nie Wei is too rare. No one can really not care about such an opportunity.

After all, this is likely to be an opportunity to ascend to heaven in one step.

There are too many examples. How many actors became popular and entered the first line and became eye-catching stars because of starring in Nie Wei's works.

Moreover, actors of their age need representative works very much, and Nie Wei's works have always been representative works of actors.

Mao Tongtong did not expect that she would be the first one to be called in for the audition among the remaining six actors.

This order is very subtle. The first performance will inevitably be nervous, which will lead to a poor performance, but if the performance is good, it will also leave a deep impression on the interviewer. Her excellence will highlight the shortcomings of the actors behind her and increase her chances of getting the role.

It's just a pity that Mao Tongtong did not feel that she had the strength to crush other actors, so this order was a bad sign for her.

"Maomao, relax and try your best to perform at your usual level." Mom said with concern.

Mao Tongtong nodded and kept giving herself psychological hints. It was unrealistic to want to relax completely, but she had to try not to have too much psychological burden. Nervousness would cause uncontrolled muscles, which would affect her acting skills.

She was really grateful to her teacher at Huaxi Opera. The skills she taught her were very useful. When she walked into the room, her inner tension had eased a little, at least it would not make her limbs stiff and affect her acting skills.
