Inside the audition hall.

"Okay, that's it."

After hearing Zheng Xiaolong's words, Liang Binning walked directly from Zhang Jiao back to the edge of the table and sat down.

The division of seats here is actually not very particular.

Except for the director, who definitely sat in the middle, everyone else sat casually.

The reason why Liang Bingning sat at the far end was because she had to constantly go on and off the stage, standing on the stage with those auditioning actors such as "Jing Fei" and "Jin Xi" who had Director Zheng's permission.

If you sit in a crowd of people, it will be inconvenient to get in and out.

After Liang Binning left, Zhang Jiao stood respectfully on the "cross sign" under her feet, waiting for Zheng Xiaolong to ask questions.

"Tell me about your understanding of the character Huanbi. What do you think of this character? Do you like her?"

"dislike."

Zhang Jiao shook her head without hesitation.

"I don't like her at all. Although I sometimes feel sorry for her, I still can't like her."

"Do you also feel sorry for her?"

Zheng Xiaolong seemed not surprised by this answer.

In other words, no one in this room was surprised.

Because this answer is almost the standard answer.

Director Zheng actually has his own set of principles when it comes to selecting actors.

Compared with Xu Xin's emphasis on appearance, he pays more attention to "meaning".

It's not that there are any advantages or disadvantages between the two, it's just a matter of choice.

As for Xu Xin, when he sees a character, he will first think about what he looks like in his mind.

For example, when choosing Wang Tianxiang.

Xiying Studio found so many good actors for him, why did he choose Wang Zhiwen alone?

Just because... he felt that the character Wang Tianxiang should have a "bookish atmosphere".

In other words, it is the kind of "smiling tiger" image that always wears a mask and smiles with you one second, but stabs you in the heart with a knife the next.

Until Tiger stops smiling, he can't let people notice that he is a villain.

There must be this kind of contrast in your body.

Therefore, when so many people's acting skills met the requirements and under the same standards, he chose Wang Zhiwen.

But there are some differences between Zheng Xiaolong and Xu Xin's casting.

He values ​​plasticity more.

For him, face is secondary.

Or "the least important".

As for acting, it's "moderately important".

The acting skills in TV series are different from those in movies.

The requirement for movies is that every frame must be able to fit the characters. But TV series cannot do that... Otherwise, if one episode is one hour, TV series with thirty to fifty episodes would be produced according to the high standard movie level...

The director and actors might both die suddenly.

too tired.

The general acting requirements for TV series are lower than those for movies.

This is also the reason why so many actors start their careers in TV series.

And for Zheng Xiaolong, what is the most important thing?

It's understanding.

His requirement is that all actors who come to audition must have read the original work and understand the role they want to play.

To put it bluntly, his audition scene was a bit like an "examination room."

Face is a 40-point multiple choice question.

Acting is a 50-point word question.

The most important 60-point questions are the guessing and understanding of the characters.

This is what he values ​​most.

Because only when the actor's understanding and the director's understanding are consistent and have a common starting point, can everyone in the same crew turn this understanding into a vivid and vivid image on the screen.

Hmm... I really need to make a distinction.

Maybe it’s the difference between the Huashan Sect’s “Sword Sect” and “Air Sect”?

I guess so.

Counting the people in front of him, Zheng Xiaolong has already auditioned for 11 people for the role of "Huanbi".

Some of them simply did not reach this stage and were brushed off directly.

The answers given by actors at this stage are almost always "I don't like it" and "It's very pitiful".

Is this answer correct?

correct.

Because in the book, Huanbi has such a character setting.

But the problem is that everyone can make rice, why do some people make it so delicious, and why do some people make it like a pot of uncooked rice?

So the most important thing is to look at personal understanding.

The answer is "right".

But none of these people's answers have entered their hearts yet.

What they saw were all the things that Huanbi always did to Zhen Huan, and he was very jealous and had no brains at all...

Anyway, it’s all about the performance in the book.

But what Zheng Xiaolong wanted to see was an answer that fit his heart.

This answer has not yet appeared.

When facing this actor named Zhang Tianai, he didn't care whether the other person was double-wei, or three-dimensional or four-dimensional...it didn't matter.

As long as the acting skills and appearance are up to par.

She has a cold temperament, but as long as she finds a specific makeup look, that mean look can be easily revealed.

Acting is also good.

Very immature.

But a passing score can still be given.

As for whether she can get this role...it depends on how many points she can get in this wave of "reading comprehension".

When she heard Zheng Xiaolong's words, "Do you also think she is pitiful?", Zhang Jiao nodded:

"Yes, although I don't like the character in the book, or even in the script, I sympathize with her."

Zheng Xiaolong was not surprised by the "script" she mentioned.

As an artist recommended by Shuangwei, the one who is closest to the stage gets the first one.

It's normal to get the script.

So he nodded:

"Tell me what you understand."

"OK……"

Zhang Jiao was silent for a second, organized her words and then said:

“The starting point of my sympathy is actually very simple, that is, to put myself in Huanbi’s shoes and think about it.

In fact, she and Zhen Huan have the same status, and they should both be a young lady. But because of the difference between concubine and concubine, she can always only be a maid, while her sister will always be a young lady.

And when my sister was learning some piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, what was she learning? What was she learning? Those menial jobs.

Just... what everyone sees is her sister. She is like the most inconspicuous little star next to the sun. When others talk to you, it is actually because of your sister's face. When others look for you,

It must be because of your sister’s matter..."

"..."

Zheng Xiaolong's eyes lit up slightly.

oh?
