China Entertainment Mythology 2004

There are dozens of actors in the audition hall at the moment. Most of them are students at Beijing Film Academy or China Theater Academy. There are also some who have played some roles and are somewhat famous. Everyone has different experiences, but the same thing is that they all have something in common.

own little circle.

The audition hasn't officially started yet, and the actors are chatting in their own small circles.

At nine o'clock in the morning, there was movement at the entrance, and the hall suddenly became quiet. The crowd automatically moved out of the way, and three men led by a staff member walked towards the small audition room.

Walking in the middle was a man with gray hair and glasses. He looked to be about forty years old. Someone in the crowd whispered to his companions: "This is director Chen Musheng, who directed Process Long's movie "Who Am I"."

On the left is a short-haired man wearing a black suit. He is about fifty years old and looks quite capable. Many of the audition actors also know him. This man is director Huang Jianxin.

Walking on the right is a young man of about twenty years old. He has grown up to be quite handsome, but the most rare thing is that this man exudes an aura of calmness and confidence from the inside out.

Walking together with people like Chen Musheng and Huang Jianxin who are well-known in the film industry, there is no trace of restraint, let alone the so-called walking etiquette of being slightly behind the two of them. Instead, they are talking and laughing along the way quite equally.

Came in.

The actors in the hall were all secretly guessing the identity of this person.

Judging from the image and temperament of this man, he is probably an actor, but no one in the hall has seen him, which shows that even the actor is a new actor, but a new actor should not be his when facing big bosses like Chen Musheng and Huang Jianxin

This kind of performance.

Could it be the family of a big shot in the entertainment industry?

The three of them came closer, and the content of their conversation reached the ears of the people next to them.

Director Chen Musheng turned to the young man next to him and said, "Director Li, I read the script carefully before going to bed yesterday, and I have some insights. There is a character setting in the script that I want to change."

The young man asked: "Which character is Director Chen talking about?"

"Pete, Pete was chatting up two girls at the airport."

"What happened to that character?"

"I want to change this character to a Chinese."

The young man thought for a while and asked, "Is there any difference?"

Chen Musheng said: "Chinese people are still very cautious and vigilant when going out, but when they meet fellow villagers or even fellow provinces, they will feel very friendly, and they will be tricked before they know it. When a fellow countryman meets a fellow countryman, he will trick you without any discussion. Change Peter

As Chinese, it is more reasonable for the two girls to lose their vigilance, and it can also remind the Chinese people that when they go out, they should be careful when strangers are courteous, and they should be more careful when fellow countrymen are courteous. Most people suffer the consequences of acquaintances. "

The young man nodded: "What Director Chen said makes sense."

Chen Musheng added: "This character should be handsome enough, handsome, and polite. Young girls have no resistance and are more likely to lose their guard."

The young man continued to nod.

Chen Musheng then added: "I don't think we should look for another actor. Don't we just have a ready-made Peter in our crew?"

The young man reacted quickly: "Director Chen, you are not talking about me, are you?"

Chen Musheng said: "Director Li's reaction is really fast. I even made a bet with Producer Huang this morning to see when Director Li can react."

The young man laughed and said, "Then I'll give it a try. If it doesn't work, I'll change."

This young man is naturally Li Mu. He has been in the entertainment industry for more than 20 years in his previous life. Although he spent most of his time behind the scenes, he often did temporary guest roles, and he did a good job.

All good.

In his previous life, Li Mu had good acting skills. If he hadn't had the face of a passerby, he might have a better future as an actor than as a director. Sometimes I have to admit that the actor's profession really depends on his face. Some things are born

If there is no time, there will be no future.

The three of them walked and talked as they entered the audition room. As soon as the door was closed and closed, the hall immediately started talking.

"Chen Musheng called that young man Director Li?"

"That's right, I heard it very clearly, it's Director Li."

"Didn't you say that Chen Musheng is the director? This young man is at most an assistant director, right? Why is Director Chen so polite to a young assistant director? It looks like he is trying to win his approval."

"It's so strange, and this person is too young."

"Which boss's son is he really?"

"Do you think the quality of Xiangjiang's directors is better?"

"Shit, I have collaborated with filmmakers from Xiangjiang a lot. Not only do the eyes grow on the top of the head, they also grow on the forehead at least."

Now that everyone has arrived, the audition officially begins immediately. The actors are called into the small room inside in order by the staff.

There are no important roles in today's audition. It's a modern drama. We don't even have to put on makeup. We just call the actors in. The three of us take a look at the image and temperament. If the one we like is a little bit good, we ask a few more questions, listen to the other party's conversation, and give them the right lines.

There are not many of them.

Li Mu basically didn't express his opinion. The male lead of this drama, Cheng Long, was not decided by the director. The role of the daughter was not decided by the director. The role of the star at the beginning was not decided by the director. How many other important roles are there?

Li Mu had been a director for more than ten years in his previous life, so he decided not to get involved and just choose whoever the director wanted.

"Hello, director, I'm He Baiwei, I'm a junior at the Chinese Theater Department..."

"Go back and wait for news."

I don’t know which one it was today, but less than a minute after the girl came in, she was sent away by Chen Musheng on the grounds that she was not pretty enough.

After all, I am still a student of Chinese opera. If I pick anyone out at random, there will be beautiful women on the street. However, in the actor industry, being beautiful is very important, but at the same time, there are too many beautiful girls, and there is a serious oversupply of resources, so

Inevitably the standard of beauty is introverted very high.

Then another girl came in.

"Both directors are good, producer Huang is good, I am Song Qie, I graduated from the theater industry."

"Have you played any roles?"

"In 2001, she starred in "I Don't Want to Leave" directed by Ma Jin, playing the role of rich girl Qin Peipei; in 2002, she starred in "The More Lives Are More Wonderful" starring Bao Jianfeng, in which she was the second female lead; in 2003, she played the role of Tong Dawei

Starring in "Very Romantic", playing the role of a boss's girlfriend Shanshan."

Chen Musheng discussed with Huang Jianxin and Li Mu in a low voice.

"The image is not suitable, what do you think?"

"If her temperament is a little worse, why don't we let her go back and wait for notification."

Li Mu knew that Song Qie had been eliminated. In Li Mu's heart, Song Qie had better acting skills among actresses born in the 1980s. However, in today's audition, there was no chance for her to show off her acting skills. He simply asked a few questions.

, he was eliminated in less than two minutes.

The entertainment industry is still very cruel.

"First, show us a person who is about to die. Whether he is injured or seriously ill, he has reached the point where he is exhausted."

Just as Chen Musheng was about to send him away, he swallowed back the words that came to his lips.

Song Qie looked around when she heard this. There was a chair in front of her and there were no other props available. Then she stared at the ground twice, and then she lay down directly on the floor.

Her actions stunned the people in the room. At this moment, they saw her mouth slightly open and her eyes closed gently. Occasionally she opened them for a moment and looked at the ceiling in concentration, and then quickly closed them again. After a while, she opened them again.

He opened his eyes slightly again, his eyes were a little hollow, and his breathing sounded weak, and he looked extremely exhausted.

Chen Musheng whispered: "Among the actors who came to audition today, they are relatively good."

Huang Jianxin nodded when he heard this.

Chen Musheng added: "It would be appropriate to play the girl who was rescued because she was wearing the coat of the protagonist's daughter."

All three nodded.

So Chen Musheng said to Song Qie: "Okay, get up and go back to wait for the notice."

After hearing this, Song Qie turned her head slightly towards the three of them, and tried to open her eyes at the same time. These two small movements seemed to have consumed all her strength, and then she closed her eyes again, as if she didn't hear what was going on.

If you guide.

Every move he makes really looks like a seriously ill person who hears someone speaking in his ear but has no energy to respond.

"Okay, okay, get up." Chen Musheng said again.

Song Qie stood up very quickly.

"Go back and wait for notification."

"Thank you two directors, thank you Producer Huang." Song Qie bowed in thanks and turned around and left the room.

Before Li Mu came, he had planned not to comment on today's audition, but he unknowingly decided on another actor.

About half an hour later, Ms. Liu Xiaoli brought her daughter Liu Yifei to the audition. It was said to be an audition, but in fact it was just a formality. By the way, she got familiar with director Chen Musheng and producer Huang Jianxin, and then signed the contract. In less than an hour, Liu

The lady took her daughter Liu Yifei and left.

The audition lasted until two o'clock in the afternoon, and the whole process went smoothly. Most of the roles were cast, except for the role of the protagonist's ex-wife. The three of them discussed for a while and each thought of a few candidates, but

After careful analysis, I feel that it is not so appropriate.

In the end, Li Mu simply found Liu Yifei from his contacts. The two had saved each other's numbers when they met at Xiying Studio. Then he edited a text message and sent it.

"The mother of your character hasn't been decided yet. I'd like to ask your mother if she wants to play the role. If so, I'd recommend giving it a try."

A moment later, Liu Yifei's text message arrived, containing three question marks.

"???"

After a while, Liu Yifei sent a second text message: "You mean the role of the mother of the character I want to play has not been decided yet. Let me ask my biological mother if she wants that role."

Is it right?"

Li Mugang was about to reply, when the third text message came over: "You deliberately mixed up the two mothers just to see if I can react, right? If I can't react, you will laugh at me for being stupid when we meet later, right?

?Fortunately, I reacted quickly enough."

Li Mu deleted the half-edited text message and re-edited it: "Didn't I make it clear enough? Look at what you sent yourself. It's about the mother of the character you want to play, and it's about the mother of the character you want to play.

About your real mother, the words are so confusing and meaningless, and then you think I should ask you that."

A moment later, Liu Yifei sent another message: "Then you can ask me whether the role of Cheng Long's ex-wife has not yet been decided, and then ask my mother if she wants to play it. In short, you just want to see my joke."

After a while, Liu Yifei's text message arrived again: "My mother said she wanted to act, and Director Li would definitely recommend it. I was confused just now. I don't blame you. I want you to apologize."

After a while, another text message came: "It's me sending you, not me missing you, typo."

Li Muxin said: "It turns out to be obsessive-compulsive disorder."
