Behind the scenes of the entertainment industry

"Hello teachers, my name is Zhang Yiming, I am auditioning...ah, the role I am auditioning for is a coppersmith."

Just as Chu Ran guessed, Zhang Yiming was startled by Chu Ran sitting behind the table when he entered the rehearsal room for the audition. Fortunately, years of training in school made his psychological quality okay, and he was able to ask Chen Li

time to recover.

"Zhang Yiming, your senior year has started. Let me take a look at your resume..." Chen Li looked through his information and only introduced what rehearsals he had participated in in school. He had never participated in any film or television drama.

"Teacher, I have never participated in any film or television drama performances because my school teacher does not allow me to take on roles before my senior year, and I am a relatively obedient student."

"Pfft..." Zhang Yiming's serious nonsense made Chu Ran on the side laugh. Seeing that Chen Li and others had looked at him, Chu Ran had to hold back and gave Zhang Yiming a thumbs up.

Zhou Cheng also knew that this guy was talking nonsense, but he didn't care. If every word of an actor in the entertainment industry was true, it would be strange. Zhou Cheng said to Zhang Yiming: "We all know your specific situation. Come on.

Act out the role of the coppersmith and follow the page of the script you got. Let's see how your acting skills go."

"Okay." Zhang Yiming nodded and worked up his emotions. What he got was the coppersmith's script. When the special correspondent came for the second time, he relied on the special correspondent's power to insult Zhang Yiman.

According to his own understanding of the role, Zhang Yiming's face turned red and he pointed hysterically: "I want you to scold her, the harder the better,... it's not enough. If you want me to forgive you, you have to cut off her hair...

…”

Zhang Yiming performed well in this one-man show that lasted about three minutes. It can be seen that his basic quality as an actor is good, and his expressions are also very rich, especially his ability to control facial muscles is very good, and his slightly fat cheeks can follow him

The emotions are shaking.

Watching his performance, the three people sitting behind the table had different reactions.

As a director, Chen Li simply felt that Zhang Yiming was not suitable for this role, and his image and temperament were a little different. Chu Ran was startled by the sudden outburst of this acquaintance, and then looked at his twisted expression and felt like laughing.

For Zhou Cheng, it was as if he saw Zhuang Qiang showing off his power as a villain.

Several people looked at each other, and Chen Li drew a triangle symbol on Zhang Yiming's form and handed it to Zhou Cheng, which meant veto. Zhou Cheng had no objection and nodded to Chen Li.

As the director, Chen Li was responsible for explaining to Zhang Yiming: "Zhang Yiming, your performance is explosive and your facial expressions are more vivid, but it's just a little different from the character in our play. You understand what I mean."

Originally, Chen Li planned to call the auditionees after all the auditions were over to tell them whether they met the conditions. However, Zhou Cheng's suggestion was to tell the auditionees on the spot. If it works, it will work. If it doesn't, it won't work. Why use these things to hang the other party and make them

After waiting with great expectation for several days, there was no news.

"It's okay, I'm mentally prepared." Zhang Yiming didn't expect to get the result on the spot. He was stunned at first, and then expressed his attitude very optimistically.

"Your sudden outburst just now scared me. I thought you were going to cut my hair." Seeing that the other party didn't have much emotion, Chu Ran added: "If you are in Yanjing these days, remember to

Come play ball with me, I haven’t played with each other for a long time, and I’m feeling a little itchy.”

"Okay, if you're not afraid of being abused, you can come to our playground." Zhang Yiming made a provocative move towards Chu Ran, and then prepared to leave.

"Wait." Zhou Cheng looked at Zhang Yiming who was about to leave and stopped him: "Classmate Yiming, you can actually consider developing into comedy, especially your control of facial expressions will make you good in this field.

It’s a good performance.”

"Comedy?" Zhang Yiming asked in surprise: "Isn't this just a comedy? I came here because Teacher Zhang said it was an absurd comedy?"

"This is a tragedy disguised as a comedy." Zhou Cheng explained helplessly.

Zhou Cheng now understands that he and the others are still too young. Two teachers from Nortel have already known the details of the script in advance through Renyi, so they take it for granted that Chang Li and Zhang Xiaolong from the Chinese Theater Company also know about the play. So they are following

When the two teachers introduced the script, they simply described the outline of the story and did not provide a detailed script, so they may be recommending students based on their own understanding.

This also reminded Zhou Cheng and the others that they must not take things for granted when encountering such things in the future, otherwise they will waste time and fail to handle the matter well.

Li Zimu and Ma Chi, who later came in to audition for the role of Zhou Tienan, also had the same situation. The roles they chose did not fit their own images.

Chen Li also realized this problem after three consecutive auditions but failed to meet a suitable candidate. After Ma Chi's audition, he was helplessly preparing to tell the other party that he was not suitable for this role, but was stopped by Zhou Cheng.

Zhou Cheng looked at Ma Chi who was a little overwhelmed and asked: "Classmate Ma Chi, can you show me the changes in the eyes of several different characters?"

Ma Chi smiled shyly: "I don't know who the character is, I can give it a try."

Zhou Cheng made his request amidst the surprised expressions of Chen Li and Chu Ran: "I want you to act out a character who goes from stupid and naive to evil, cruel, and then to cowardly."

"Teacher, can you give me a minute?"

"Okay." Chen Li didn't know what Zhou Cheng was thinking, but he didn't object. He understood that Zhou Cheng's proposal must have another purpose, and he also wanted to see how Ma Chi performed in this regard.

This is a course that junior students in the Department of Acting at China Theater and Nortel should learn. Ma Chi, as a student with not outstanding grades, has only mastered it, but the psychological changes of this character proposed by Zhou Cheng are his

I am best at acting with little characters, so I am not timid.

After about a minute ended, Ma Chi, who had been standing in the middle of the rehearsal room with his head lowered and brewing emotions, suddenly raised his head. Chen Li had originally criticized him for not being sunny enough and not in line with Zhou Tienan's temperament. At this time, his eyes narrowed to a slit.

A harmless smile appeared on his face, which made Chen Li feel the simplicity and honesty of this character.

When Chen Li thought that this was his true performance, Ma Chi's expression changed. His originally curved eyes became narrow and long, and the corners of his mouth that were also curved turned upturned on one side, with a hint of a sneer. Chen Li was even more confused.

What was surprising was the look in his eyes. The smile contained in them turned into a cold light in an instant, and he looked at the three people in front of him coldly, which made Chu Ran, who was extremely familiar with him, feel numb on his spine.

Just when Chu Ran thought it was over, Ma Chi was sitting on the ground with a group of people. His originally cold eyes suddenly turned into panic and anxiety, and he was looking around as if begging for mercy.

"pretty."

Zhou Cheng and Chu Ran asked Zhou Cheng and Chu Ran to describe the changes in the mentality of some characters. They could find a variety of text combinations to express it, but they could not perform it themselves. This is the biggest difference between writers and actors. At this time, seeing each other

Zhou Cheng couldn't help but applaud him for being able to change his mentality in an instant according to his own suggestion.

"Very good, classmate Ma Chi, your performance is very good." As a director, Chen Li saw in Ma Chi his good acting skills. Although the coordination of expressions and body movements is still a bit uncoordinated, his eyes completely make up for it.

got this point.

"Thank you, teacher." Ma Chi stood up from the ground and regained his shy expression, waiting for comments from several teachers.

"Classmate Ma Chi, the role of Zhou Tienan you auditioned for is really not suitable for you."

"Thank you, teacher, I understand." Ma Chi's expression darkened when he heard Zhou Cheng's words. He had just told himself after Zhang Yiming and Li Zimu's audition that the audition teacher here would directly inform him of the results.

"Are you interested in trying out the role of a coppersmith?"

When Ma Chi was about to leave sadly, Zhou Cheng made another proposal.
