This star’s style is wrong

In the audition activity room.

Wang Kai's agent came in with him, carrying a huge bag of drinks with his assistant: "I came in a hurry, so I brought some drinks for everyone. I won't disturb the directors' auditions now. Please watch our Wang Kai."

After the agent finished his courtesy, he exited the activity room.

Fang Xing sat back and glanced at the monitor in front of the assistant director: "Are you ready?"

The audition video will be recorded, and sometimes if the actor is not finalized on the spot, he will go back and watch the audition video again for consideration.

The assistant director clicked on the monitor a few times, nodded and replied, "That's it."

Since it is an audition video, there is no need to consider the camera language. There is only one camera position, so long as it can clearly capture the audition actors.

"Then let's get started." Fang Xing looked at Wang Kai, meaning to ask him if he was ready.

"Okay." Wang Kai stood up straighter and nodded in response.

"Have you read the script?" Fang Xing picked up the script and turned to the next few pages.

"I've finished reading." Wang Kai nodded and replied.

"Nowadays, people in the actor circle say that I am auditioning for Yama, and the requirements are ridiculously high." Fang Xing joked first.

All the crew members present were holding back their laughter.

In fact, the reason why Fang Xing's audition requirements are becoming more and more demanding is because the dramas he is filming are becoming more and more difficult.

When I was filming "The Beginning", the requirements for auditions were actually not that high.

Because the actors who need to show off their acting skills in "The Beginning" are basically veterans of the National Theater, especially the "Pot Aunt" teacher Liu Lanying, the quality of the auditions is already high enough, and there is no need to raise the requirements.

As for the young actors in "The Beginning", there are no requirements for acting skills, as long as they can act well.

That was no longer the case when it came to "Hurry Up". Almost every character had to show off his acting skills. Without some acting skills, it would be impossible to film in this drama.

It was also because during the casting process for "Kurst", the auditioned actors who were eliminated were able to form a battalion, which led to Fang Xing's nickname of "Audition Yan Luo" starting to spread in the actor circle.

There is another reason why it is spread like this.

That is, the other director of "Cyclone" is veteran police drama director Zhou Jitao.

Some actors auditioned, and Zhou Jitao, a veteran director, thought they were OK, but when they came to Fang Xing, they failed.

After this nickname came out, it became more and more evil.

However, the four dramas produced by Ark Culture are all extremely popular.

As long as you can star in Ark Culture's TV series, it's equivalent to becoming famous.

Therefore, even though Fang Xing is nicknamed "Audition Yama", there are still countless actors who want to audition.

"This is a joke in the circle." Wang Kai added casually.

"Actually, I'm really not that scary."

Fang Xing smiled heartily and continued: "We are all old acquaintances, so let's try a more difficult scene.

"That's it. After King Jing Xiao Jingyan became the crown prince, the villain Xia Jiang identified Mei Changsu in front of the emperor as Lin Shu, the major general of the rebel Red Flame Army.

"When King Jing Xiao Jingyan learned that Mei Changsu was his best friend, he fell into a state of shock, disbelief, and dare not recognize him."

When Wang Kai heard that he was going to audition for this scene, his whole expression froze.

For the character "Jing Wang Xiao Jingyan", this scene does not have many lines, but the performance is all about expression, which is more difficult than if there are many lines.

Since there are no lines and the performance needs to be on point, it all depends on facial expression changes.

Moreover, the inner drama of this scene "Jing Wang Xiao Jingyan" is very complicated.

First of all, "Prince Jing Xiao Jingyan" and "Lin Shu" are close friends who grew up together.

"Prince Jing Xiao Jingyan"'s biological mother "Concubine Jing" was once a medical girl in the Lin Mansion.

The relationship between two people is just like that of brothers.

However.

The Red Flame Army was falsely accused by Cheng Chen and massacred as rebels, and was completely wiped out in Meiling.

"Lin Shu", as the major general of the Red Flame Army, was lucky enough to survive, but was poisoned by the cold fire and changed beyond recognition.

In the next twelve years, "Lin Shu" plotted revenge under the name "Mei Changsu".

Because the Red Flame Army was treated as a rebel and destroyed.

This also means that "Lin Shu" is a remnant of the rebels.

Once the emperor knew that "Mei Changsu" was "Lin Shu" back then, then "Mei Changsu" would undoubtedly die.

The villain "Xia Jiang" identified "Mei Changsu" as "Lin Shu".

"Prince Jing Xiao Jingyan" should have been shocked and ecstatic when he learned that his best friend was not dead, but he had to deny that "Mei Changsu" was "Lin Shu" in front of the emperor.

Several emotions are intertwined, and you can imagine how difficult it is to perform well.

Wang Kai didn't expect that it would be the most difficult scene in the entire script. He couldn't help complaining in his heart: Sure enough, there was no wrong nickname.

"Can we start?" Fang Xing said and handed over the script in his hand.

Wang Kai waved his hand and said: "No need for a script, I need five minutes."

Fang Xing nodded, then glanced at the assistant director beside him and said, "Let's give him a scene."

Several executive directors and assistant directors in the crew are all a little bit addicted to drama, and occasionally play supporting roles in the crew.

Fang Xing and the assistant director stood up and walked to the middle of the venue.

after awhile.

Wang Kai raised his head and said, "That's it."

Fang Xing looked at the assistant director and motioned for him to start.

The assistant director immediately got into action, holding the script in one hand, raising his other hand to point at Fang Xing, and read the lines loudly: "He! He is the remnant of the Red Flame Army who colluded with the emperor's eldest son to conspire and escaped with his life by chance. Lin Shu, the son of the coach Lin Xie and the commander of the Red Feather Camp!"

Since the protagonist of this audition is Wang Kai, the monitor mainly captures Wang Kai.

As for the assistant director reading the lines from the script, it doesn't matter how weak his line skills are.

After reading this line, the expression on Wang Kai's face began to change. First, his eyes widened with an expression of disbelief.

In the understanding of "Prince Jing Xiao Jingyan", his best friend "Lin Shu" had already died in Meiling.

This also became a knot that he and the emperor could never untie.

However, now that I heard that "Lin Shu" was not dead, but "Mei Changsu" in front of me, my first reaction should indeed be surprise.

Fang Xing stood nearby and kept staring at his expression, satisfied with the first change in his expression.

Immediately afterwards.

Wang Kai showed an expression of sudden realization on his face, but he quickly covered it up and continued to stare wide-eyed, maintaining a shocked expression.

Fang Xing saw the look of realization on his face and gave him a high score in his heart.

Because this expression of sudden realization is very spot on.

"Nirvana in Fire" has 54 episodes in total, and this scene is in episode 49, which is almost the finale.

In other words, "Mei Changsu" has assisted "Prince Jing Xiao Jingyan" all the way, from an unpopular prince to the crown prince step by step.

During this process, "Prince Jing Xiao Jingyan" discovered that "Mei Changsu" had many similarities with "Lin Shu".

After all, the two grew up together and were as close as brothers, so it was impossible not to feel anything at all.

However, the people around him helped "Mei Changsu" hide it from him, which caused him to occasionally have doubts, and in the end he would think it was a coincidence.

Now, the truth that "Mei Changsu" is "Lin Shu" was exposed by the villain "Xia Jiang" in the palace hall.

"Prince Jing Xiao Jingyan" finally understood why "Mei Changsu" has so many shadows of "Lin Shu".

Therefore, at this moment, there should indeed be an expression of "sudden realization".

However, the emperor cannot know this truth, otherwise "Mei Changsu" will undoubtedly die.

Therefore, after "Jing Wang Xiao Jingyan" suddenly realized the truth, he immediately concealed his true inner emotions and helped "Mei Changsu" conceal his identity.

Immediately afterwards.

It's "Mei Changsu's" turn to speak.

Fang Xing showed a relaxed sneer and said, "Xia Shou-zun, you really can't stop talking without surprising me."

Immediately afterwards, the assistant director changed his position and began to play the role of the emperor. He continued to play, staring at Wang Kai and probing: "Prince, what do you have to say to Xia Jiang's statement?"

Wang Kai looked at the assistant director, with a flash of nervousness in his eyes, and began to help cover it up: "Why do you ask, father? You have watched Lin Shu grow up, don't you know him?"

The assistant director took the script and continued to read the lines as the emperor: "Do you know the poison of fire and cold? The body-burning flames, the bone-eroding cold, coupled with the unique snow scale insects in Meiling, make the poisoned person look completely different, and the loved ones will be completely different." It’s hard to recognize anyone.”

The lines are read here.

Wang Kai once again showed an expression of shock and realization on his face, and turned to look at Fang Xing.

He looked at Fang Xing. The look in his eyes clearly confirmed that the person in front of him was "Lin Shu", but he continued to deny it: "Such a ridiculous statement, my father believes it, but my son and I don't."

After the performance of this scene, Fang Xing gave a rare applause and praised: "It's very good. You play this role. It's better than expected."

Wang Kai quickly thanked: "Thank you, Director Fang."

"There's no need to be so polite. It's settled. Just let the management team discuss the contract."

Fang Xing said, holding his shoulders, walked aside, and continued: "After I go back, I have to read the script carefully again and figure out the psychology of the character. We will start filming next month. You have a lot of roles, so basically Follow the group the whole time.”

"Okay, okay." Wang Kai nodded hurriedly, feeling happy that the audition was so successful.

…

After all the actors who had been invited in the morning had auditioned, it was almost half past twelve.

The crew has already gone to prepare lunch.

Fang Xing looked at the assistant director and asked, "Are there any suitable resumes collected today?"

The assistant director handed over several resumes and said, "These are not bad."

Fang Xing took it and flipped through it casually. There were seven resumes in total, and then he said, "Are there any more?"

This assistant director has worked with Fang Xing on three dramas, so he knows Fang Xing’s habits very well.

When he screened actor resumes, he divided them into three categories.

Hearing Fang Xing's question, he handed over another stack of resumes and said, "You can take a look at this stack, but they are all at the level of extras."

Fang Xing took it and put it together with the previous seven copies, making about twenty or thirty copies, and said, "That's it. Call these people in, give each of them two lines, and let them try it out one by one. Try it. After the test, we will eat and rest."

The assistant director agreed and went out with his resume to call names: "If you can read your name, come in with me. If you can't read your name, please go back first. The morning audition is over. Wang Weixiang, Li Chunxiao, Liu Peng..."

…

Since Fang Xing had already decided to let Wang Kai star in "Prince Jing", the company's management team was very efficient and started negotiating contracts with Wang Kai's company in the afternoon.

Wang Kai's agency, Huahuo Media, is a small company with five or six 18th-tier artists, and the most profitable artist is Wang Kai.

In the entertainment industry, there are many small companies like Huahuo Media.

In many of these companies, the founders had some money in their hands and met a few friends in the entertainment industry, so they started their business and signed up trainees.

There are some 18th-tier girl groups in the industry. The captain's family has some money, so he uses the money from his family to start a company, sign a few female artists, and form a group to debut.

However, this kind of company basically makes no profit in the early stage, but it must continue to invest, rent venues for training, and pay salaries to the members.

It would be fine if the group gained some fame, otherwise we would have to find money everywhere to support the company and the group.

Liu Shijie, the artist director of Huahuo Media, used to be the executive manager of another entertainment company and worked there for several years.

Later, he met a boss who had money and wanted to invest.

So Liu Shijie raised this investment, registered Huahuo Media, and then relied on his connections as an agent to start looking for new people to sign contracts in film and television bases and art schools.

He was lucky. Not long after he signed Wang Kai, Wang Kai passed the audition for "The Pretender" and became an instant hit.

After Huahuo Media became popular with Wang Kai, it made good profits and developed rapidly.

Moreover, after an artist becomes popular, it will be more convincing to use this artist as a brand to sign other potential newcomers.

Not only that, after Wang Kai becomes popular, many business resources, film and television resources will come to him.

Huahuo Media can let Wang Kai bundle the company's newcomers to appear on programs and take on business.

Since Wang Kai became famous with "The Pretender", Liu Shijie, as the person who promoted him, has also gained many connections in the entertainment industry.

…

Ark Culture's management team personally went to Huahuo Media to discuss Wang Kai's film contract.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Fang Xing had just returned to the company after auditioning the actors invited today.

Just in time, Liu Yonghe, director of the agency team, came back to report: "Mr. Fang, we went to Huahuo Media in the afternoon to discuss Wang Kai's film contract, and we discussed a lot of details.

“The other party’s artist director had a good attitude, but in the end the contract was not signed. The other party’s artist director said that a meeting was needed to discuss the schedule.

"Although the other party's attitude is okay, based on my experience, if a small company like Huahuo Media wants to delay the contract, it is most likely that it will not want to sign it. There should be other options."

Fang Xing knew the working ability of his agency director. Since he said that Huahuo Media was delaying the contract, there must be something wrong with it.

"Do you know what it is?" Fang Xing asked next.

Liu Yonghe nodded and replied: "We are also talking about Wang Kai in "Furong", and it is said that the salary is very high. I have dealt with Liu Shijie, the director of Huahuo Media, before. This person is very ambitious and likes to work hard."

Fang Xing thought about it and said, "I'll leave this matter to you. I'm very satisfied with Wang Kai's audition. It's up to you to decide. If you really can't negotiate, I'll report back."

"Okay, I understand." Liu Yonghe agreed and immediately turned around to work overtime.

When talking about actors and actresses, naturally there is no need for the boss to take action personally, otherwise what use would the people below him have?
