I am a leader in the entertainment industry

Chapter 14: Script Reading

The so-called script seminar is when the main creators of the TV series, including the screenwriter, director, main actors, photographers and other heads of various fields, gather together to discuss the script, character roles, photography requirements, etc.

The script reading was a suggestion made by Li Qi and director Lin Jianfen in advance. Each actor has a different way of performing. To put it bluntly, it is a test of the actors’ abilities, so that the later filming can be smoother and more effective.

Li Qi has been with the actors for two days. He is not familiar with them, but he is not unfamiliar with them. They are in a hotel conference room in Hengdian. By the way, the crew has booked this hotel.

Liu Shishi was a little angry because she had secretly glanced at Li Qi several times, but he ignored her. He only talked about work with the actors next to him. Did he still care about me? The last time Li Qi did that to her, her forehead was clearly hit. Shouldn’t he just pretend that what happened that day didn’t happen? She spat fiercely at someone in her heart.

《There were quite a lot of actors in”Startling by Each Step”, so the staff rearranged the conference hall, leaving a space in the middle with tables and chairs arranged in two circles. The main actors, directors and screenwriters sat in the inner circle, while the lesser actors sat in the outer circle.

Director Lin Jianfen saw that most people had arrived and said to everyone,”Today is the first reading of the script of”Startling by Each Step”. Some of you are meeting for the first time, so everyone should introduce yourselves and the roles you play. I’ll start with, I’m Lin Jianfen, the director of”Startling by Each Step”, haha.……”

Then the screenwriters briefly introduced themselves, and then the actors. After all, the protagonists of today’s reading are actors.

Teacher Tang Geqiang saw that no one stood up first, so he stood up and said with a smile:”Then I will go first! Hello everyone, I am Tang Geqiang. Although everyone knows me, I still need to introduce myself formally.”

Then he put away his smile, glanced ahead, his eyes bright, and said in a loud voice:”In the play, I play the role of Emperor Kang, who is majestic, wise, cautious, and calm.

He is a wise ruler who serves the country and the people.

He has been strategizing about political affairs all his life, but he was hesitant about the succession of the throne, which led to the open and covert fighting among the princes for the position of crown prince, resulting in a decades-long struggle for the throne, which is the famous”Nine Princes Fighting for the Crown Prince” in history.

“”

Everyone was attracted by this sudden change. He was instantly immersed in the play. His words were extremely clear and full of appeal. It really fascinated these young actors. He is a national first-class actor!

Brother Hu stood up and introduced himself:”I am Brother Hu, playing the role of the fourth prince in the play.

He is calm and introverted, with deep thoughts hidden.

He has a passionate heart, but would rather hide it behind a cold face.

He likes quiet things and enjoys solitude.

He does not easily trust or accept people.

Once he accepts, he will always keep it in his heart and protect it, whether it is for his brothers or his lover.

At the same time, he has the coldness and reality that an emperor should have, and he also has a natural desire for power.

”

At this time, Hu Ge had not yet been tempered by the drama for several years, and his line delivery ability was still not as good as Teacher Tang’s, so he was obviously a little behind Teacher Tang when he spoke after her.

After Brother Hu sat down, Liu Shishi stood up and said,”I am Liu Shishi, playing the role of Ruoxi in the play and Zhang Xiao before she traveled through time. She is a modern professional woman, independent, thoughtful, and visionary. She is a white-collar lady. She has been working in the workplace for three years. When she quarreled and broke up with her boyfriend, she encountered an accident and traveled to the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty.

When she first arrived in ancient times, she was rather reckless and bold, but with her rich modern knowledge, keen and delicate observation and speculation, and understanding of history, she repeatedly escaped danger. She also used Ruoxi’s identity as a girl to protect herself with her cute and clever actions. She is a rational and emotional woman.”After saying that, she deliberately looked at Li Qi, meaning it was your turn, and smiled and sat down.

Li Qi wiped his hair and stood up and said,”Hello everyone, I am Li Qi, currently studying at the Beijing Film Academy. I play the role of the Eighth Prince, a gentle and gentle person. Because of his mother’s low status, he has a smooth and versatile style of doing things, always being kind to others, but also calculating. He has a romantic impulse and infatuation for love, but still cannot resist the desire for power.”

Li Qi’s speech instantly gave everyone a great shock. At this moment, Li Qi looked like he was out of tune with the people around him, like a breeze blowing on his face and a bright moon shining in his heart. It was exaggerated.

After Li Qi sat down, it put a lot of pressure on the actors behind him, so that the next actor could not catch up in time and time was somewhat suspended.

Seeing this, Tang Geqiang said,”Li Qi, I didn’t expect your line skills to be so strong! You are among the top three young actors I know. Do you have the habit of practicing early morning exercises every day?”

Li Qi quickly stood up and replied,”Teacher Tang, you are too kind! I don’t deserve it! There are still many excellent predecessors who I need to learn from. There are also some who practice morning exercises.”

Tang Geqiang continued,”You don’t have to be modest. I just closed my eyes and listened to your words. Every word was clear and rich with layers! If you don’t have this skill, you can’t listen to the opera! Many young actors nowadays don’t work hard in this aspect. This is not something that can be achieved overnight. You are guaranteed a stable job in this industry, haha.……”

Li Qi did not waste any time and said,”Thank you for the encouragement, Teacher Tang!”

It was Zeng Li’s turn to stand up and introduce herself:”Hello everyone, my name is Zeng Li, I graduated from the Huaxi Performance Class.

I play Maertai Ruolan in the play.

She is elegant and noble, quiet and gentle, generous and decent, sensible and reasonable.

She also had a bright time when she was young.

She was with her childhood sweetheart and was brilliant.

She even attracted the infatuated Eighth Prince.

For the sake of the family, she gave up her lover and married the Eighth Prince.

After her lover died, she was heartbroken.

Apart from caring for her sister Ruoxi, she no longer cared about worldly affairs.

”

Zeng Li was sent to the Children’s Palace in her hometown by her mother when she was young to learn body shape, vocal music, dance, etc. Later, she joined the song and dance troupe and learned rhythmic gymnastics.

When she was in primary school, the provincial Peking Opera Troupe went to various places in the province to recruit Peking Opera talents, and Zeng Li was selected by the Chinese Opera School affiliated to the Chinese Opera Academy. After graduating from primary school, she was admitted to the Chinese Opera Academy, majoring in Qingyi.

Hu’s expression was a bit bitter. One of the actors he played against was a national first-class actor. Zeng Li was obviously a hidden gem, definitely a talent buried in the film and television industry. And what about Li Qi? Was he playing the pig to eat the tiger? Are all young people nowadays so unethical? I feel so bad for him. I once again thought of joining a drama troupe to hone my skills.

Liu Shishi felt the same way. It was the first time she saw Li Qi show off his acting skills, and she found that he was really charming when he was acting seriously! Why didn’t this guy show off his acting skills before? It seems that I don’t know him well enough! Thinking of this, eh… why is the table next to me shaking a little?

Looking at Lin Ergeng who was sitting next to him, his body was shaking constantly, and he asked:”Ergeng, what’s wrong with you?”

Lin Ergeng replied with his shaky legs:”Poetry···Sister Shishi, I’m a little scared···Nervous, it’s my turn soon”
