Chapter 52
Chapter 51 Opposing
There are a total of six people on the jury. Excluding Tang Moning and Zhou Yanwai who accompanied him, the remaining four are director Wang Lu, associate director Xiong Yu, two screenwriters, and producer Bai Guangjian, who has the right to decide.
But what Zu Qi didn’t know was that even though Bai Guangjian was the producer of this film, he rarely appeared in the crew. Even Wang Lu, the director, had only met Bai Guangjian twice in total.
The first time was when we talked about cooperation last year, and the second time was today’s judges seat.
Bai Guangjian has always been busy with business. As for why he took the initiative to ask for auditioning actors, until now, no one in the entire crew can figure it out.
But the identity of Bai Guangjian is here. Even if he recklessly acts, other people, including the director, dare not make a word of protest.
The guide first introduced Zu Qi to several people on the Ping Jury Board, and asked Zu Qi to introduce himself to them again.
Before coming in, Zu Qi was still a little nervous, and now after seeing the two familiar faces of Bai Guangjian and Tang Moning, all the uneasy emotions vanished in an instant.
After all, he is facing an acquaintance who has met many times in life, and the role of Wei Mohui has been predetermined by him. Today is just a walkthrough…Of course he still has to show his best performance. Don’t let others guess that he walks through the back door all at once.
Zu Qi settled his mind and listened to the guide to help explain the audition rules.
The content is very simple. Zu Qi and Yue Ji are a group, performing the script fragments designated by Director Wang, and the other person is responsible for the opposing scenes. The photographer next to them will record their performances and put them together with others. Compare.
The interviewers will not decide on the spot where the actors will be auditioned, they will only make some general suggestions.
In the words of Bai Guangjian, this method of selection is very suitable for going through the back door. Anyway, there is no fixed criterion. Whoever chooses depends on his mood.
The reason why the crew chooses to recruit actors in such a fanfare way is more because they want to publicize and build momentum, and by the way, take a walk around the small and famous fresh meats.
I have to say that there are routines everywhere in the entertainment industry.
Both Zuqi and Yue Ji have read the script over and over many times, but they are limited to the script of the character Wei Moyun. The lines and plots of other characters are completely unknown.
Therefore, when the guide took two brand-new anti-theatre lines and handed them to Zu Qi and Yue Ji respectively, they were a little confused–
The segment they want to perform does not exist in the script at all.
The content of the plot is that after Wei Mohui learned the truth about the death of his parents, he determined to kill all his enemies, but found that his best friend was also on the list. After a fierce fight between the two, Wei Mohui defeated his friend, but in the end he launched a fatal one Before hitting, he suddenly hesitated…
Director Wang gave them three minutes to familiarize themselves with the script. Zu Qi quickly adapted to the changes in the script and carefully analyzed the dialogue and personality of the two characters.
However, Yue Ji’s face became more and more ugly. He licked his dry lips, hesitated for a moment, looked up at Director Wang who was talking to Bai Guangjian in a low voice, hesitatingly said: “Director Wang, the script you gave us looks like There is no such clip.”
Director Wang turned his head and frowned, “So what?”
“We are not familiar with the plot, and we have not prepared enough. Can you change the plot from the script?” Yue Ji said very cautiously.
Director Wang listened, sneered, and then asked Zu Qi: “How about you? Can you accept this script?”
Zu Qi nodded calmly: “Acceptable.”
“Have you heard?” Director Wang looked at Yue Ji again, his eyes more or less mocking, “He can do it, why can’t you do it?”
Yue Ji bit his lip and didn’t speak, his flushed cheeks were full of embarrassment.
The guide standing aside calmly explained: “This story is indeed in the script, but it is not given to you. After all, it is an undisclosed script. It is impossible to send out all the content.”
At the end, the guide gave a quick smile, looked at Yue Ji for a moment and asked, “You have read the script for so long, don’t you even know if the script is complete?”
After saying this, Yue Ji’s face was blue and white, and his mouth opened and closed, but he couldn’t make any sound like a mute.
The guide looked clear, did not say anything, took two steps back, and then made a gesture to indicate that Zu Qi and Yue Ji could start performing.
In the first scene, Yue Ji, the main performer, starred in Wei Mohan, and Zu Qi played as his friend Xin Zihang to cooperate with Yue Ji. In the script, Xin Zihang was seriously injured and was lying on the ground in dying life. Wei Moyun was rarely emotionally out of control. , Asked why his friend killed his parents.
Zu Qi cleared his thoughts in just two seconds. He quickly lay on his side, lowered his eyes for a moment, and when he raised his eyes, the light brown eyes had already set off the dark waves.
He squeezed the corner of his mouth, his expression was full of pain and hardship, and he said in a weak and firm tone: “Wei Binghua, as the head of the house, has been treacherous with the wicked and killed Zhongliang, they are more than guilty!”
Zu Qi was originally a clear teenage voice. At this moment, he intended to lower his voice. It sounded a bit hoarse, but more of it was struggle and helplessness, and the anger of hating iron and steel.
Just after reading the first line, everyone present was stunned.
Dao Wang, who was still hanging around a minute ago, immediately sat upright, staring at Zu Qi who was lying on the ground with his eyes tightly, an incredible expression gradually appeared on his face.
Bai Guangjian and the others did not expect that Zu Qi could enter the play so quickly, and they were surprised and delighted.
Instead, Tang Moning and Zhou Yan, who were sitting on the very side, had extremely gloomy faces.
Tang Moning’s hands on his knees clenched into fists. He didn’t even notice when his nails were embedded in the flesh. He didn’t dare to be too obvious, but he couldn’t hide the shock and jealousy in his eyes.
“What’s the matter…He can’t have such good acting skills…” Tang Moning was a little panicked, and murmured in a voice that only he and Zhou Yan could hear, “Why is it like this…”
He is very aware of how bad Zu Qi’s acting skills are, and Zu Qi’s vase acting skills are absolutely impossible to enter the scene in a few seconds.
Could it be that Zu Qi ran away to steal the teacher and learn art during this time?
But Zu Qi is not such a diligent person at all, and he is still busy with giving birth to children and cooperating with the Xue family, so it is impossible to have such free time.
The more Tang Moning thought about it, the more anxious he became, and there was a panic in his heart that was about to be compared by Zu Qi.
At this moment, a hand stretched out and grabbed Tang Moning’s wrist. Tang Moning was taken aback for a while, and turned his head to look at last week with relief.
Zhou Yan squinted his eyes, and quickly condensed the calculations and insidiousness in his eyes. He lowered his voice and said, “Don’t worry, the good show is yet to come.” As long as they are still sitting in the judges’ seat, they are destined to be superior to Zu Qi.
Maybe Zu Qi will come to beg them later.
After such self-comfort, Tang Moning finally felt much better. He calmed down and looked at Zu Qi not far away with dark eyes.
As time passed by in silence, Zu Qi temporarily added a few lines, but he never waited for Yue Ji’s response.
Yue Ji didn’t seem to expect that Zu Qi would enter the state so soon, and was stunned on the spot. The lines that had been rolling in his mind for several times just a moment ago were stuck in the throat.
What should he do?
What should he say?
The script only wrote what he was going to say, but it didn’t say what he was going to do before speaking.
The tension and anxiety in hindsight overwhelmed Yue Ji in an instant. He didn’t have much experience in acting. He often appeared as a vase in celebrity director films, with almost zero on-site experience.
At this moment, Yue Ji’s brain was directly confused. Just when he was at a loss, Director Wang’s angry voice suddenly interrupted his confused thoughts.
“What are you doing? Do you stand there and perform sculptures? Just give me down if you don’t want to perform, don’t waste everyone’s time!”
Wang Zhiming came to speak well, only to be extra serious when he was working. He took the rolled script to shoot straight on the table, and it seemed that Yue Ji’s reaction was miserable.
“Yue Ji, it’s your turn.” Tang Moning reminded him, then turned his head and smiled at Director Wang, “Maybe it’s inexperienced and nervous.”
Director Wang cast a blank expression at Tang Moning, who was clearly speaking for Yue Ji, and didn’t say a word. This Tang Moning was stuffed in by Bai Guangjian’s ex-wife, and he squeezed out Zu Qi, who was supposed to be the male lead.
Now Bai Guangjian’s ex-wife has fallen, and Tang Mourning’s acting skills alone are not even qualified to take a small supporting role. His own position is in jeopardy, and he is still worried about others.
Director Wang gave a sneer, and when he turned his head, he saw the flustered Yue Ji bowing and apologizing. He was a little irritable and waved his hand for the guidance to let them perform it again.
Zu Qi likes acting, and he also enjoys the process of acting. He lie down on the ground again without saying a word, frowning, and repeating the lines just now with eloquence.
With the previous experience, Zu Qi performed more handily this time, and even made people overlook his short hair that was out of date, but Yue Ji, who wore a wig and was fully equipped, continued to froze.
For some reason, Mingming Yueji was ready, but once he met Zu Qi’s deep and painful eyes, it seemed that all his thoughts were flying away in an instant.
“He is only suitable for single-player acting. Other people’s emotions can easily lead him to act in a rivalry.” The assistant director pointed out the shortcomings of Yue Ji’s acting skills sharply.
Director Wang nodded and turned to look at Bai Guangjian. He found that the producer was playing with his cell phone boringly. He was speechless for two seconds before he interrupted Yue Ji who was still stammering his lines.
“Well, that’s the end of this paragraph. Change your positions.”
Tang Moning was stunned, and said embarrassingly: “Director Wang, Yue Ji is a newcomer, with high popularity and great potential. Why don’t we give him another chance.”
Director Wang wanted to glance at Tang Moning with a smile: “Am I the director or are you the director?”
“…” Tang Mourning choked immediately, pursing his lips with redness, and did not dare to speak at will.
Knowing that he had screwed up most of the audition this time, Yue Ji turned his eyes on Tang Moning, who had collected a lot of money from him, in despair, but Tang Moning avoided his sight with a guilty conscience.
Suddenly, the anger that had been deceived and betrayed rushed to Yue Ji’s forehead. He was a little dark in front of him, but he did not dare to disobey the command of Wang Dao.
After a while, he lay down in the same posture that Zu Qi had just fallen to the ground, and then uttered the lines stiffly, even the words Zu Qi had just thought of temporarily.
Zu Qi: “…”
Bai Guangjian tilted his mouth and grinned, followed by other directors and scriptwriters led by Director Wang also chuckled softly.
Yue Ji was so embarrassed that he wanted to lie directly on the ground and never get up again. He closed his eyes with a pale face. He thought that Zu Qi would be affected by the surrounding environment like him, but he didn’t know that Zu Qi was in the play for a second.
“My heart and my lungs are good to you, but you stabbed me from behind. When you dream back at midnight every night, your conscience won’t hurt?!”
Zu Qi completely disappeared from the hardship and pain of acting as a friend. His body was almost stretched into a string, his eyes were half-closed, and the hostility in his body poured out without concealment.
Even though he is still the hairstyle of a modern person, the yin-bird eyes and the deep and decadent temperament make him seem to have become another person in just half a minute, and this person is Wei Mo Enthalpy.
Yue Ji was frightened by Zu Qi’s relaxed acting skills, and was stunned on the spot again, but this time, Zu Qi, as the main performer, did not give him a chance to recover, and squatted down and grabbed Yue Ji’s collar.
“You speak! Didn’t you speak well just now?”
“Shixi, what you owe me will never be repaid! I will keep your dog’s life, and I want to watch how you live in this world in pain.” Zu Qi showed a hideous look and held Yue. But Ji’s collar’s hands were trembling.
And Yue Ji, who played the opponent’s play, was completely shocked by Zu Qi’s explosive acting skills, and he did not react for a long time.
The voice fell, and the conference room seemed to be silent for a long time, and then there was a slow burst of applause.
Director Wang and the others saw Bai Guangjian stand up and clapped their hands, and they hurriedly broke free from the huge surprise, then stood up and gave warm applause.
“Okay! The acting is very good!” Director Wang couldn’t wait to walk over and pat Zu Qi on the shoulder, with a look of excitement of seeing each other late, “You are the Wei Mo enthalpy I was looking for, I finally waited for you!”
Yue Ji got up from the ground in embarrassment. No one around him noticed his presence. He heard Director Wang say this, and the blood on his face disappeared for a moment.
“Director Wang…” Yue Ji carefully took the hand of Director Wang, “I’m sorry I was a little nervous just now, can I perform it again? I have been preparing for this role for a long time, and I have pushed a lot of cooperation and specially invited the teacher to guide… …”
Director Wang waved to interrupt Yue Ji’s unfinished words. He frowned and said impatiently: “As an actor, the first thing to overcome is stage fright. The total number of people here is less than ten, but you have a complete sentence. I can’t say anything. There will be large crowds around you when you are filming. What should you do then?”
Yue Ji was speechless, he couldn’t find any reason to refute Wang Dao’s words.
Director Wang didn’t want to entangle with Yue Ji anymore, so he beckoned the guide to come and take Yue Ji to leave, and at the same time told Zu Qi to stay.
“Director Wang!” Yue Ji flushed anxiously.
He thought he was sure of his tenacity, and this morning he was still talking big words in front of his agent and the boss. He didn’t expect that Director Wang would like Zuqi’s idiot. How should he explain to everyone when he goes back?
Director Wang didn’t know what Yue Ji was thinking about. Without acting skills, he didn’t have acting skills. Even if he stood here for a few days and nights, he still had no acting skills.
“Xiao Xu, what are you doing in a daze?” Director Wang shook off Yue Ji’s hand and grabbed him, and the assistant shouted, “Hurry up and take the people away!”
Daozhu knew that Dao Wang was angry, and hurriedly stepped forward to pull Yue Ji out. He didn’t expect that Yue Ji suddenly felt irritated. He pushed Daozhu away, like an off-string arrow, and rushed to return. Sitting in front of Tang Moning.
“Brother Tang, you can help me speak, don’t you guarantee that I can get that role? You can’t speak without counting! You still charged me so much money, you quickly persuade the king!”
