Chapter 244 Audition (Part 1)(1/2)
After Ma Li received Shaoyang's call, she immediately notified everyone in the group.
For more than half a month, Ma Li has been reading scripts, memorizing lines, and acting in front of the mirror almost every day. It would be okay if she was asked to play other roles, but she was still very nervous if she was asked to play the female lead and play with Shao Yang.
.
After hurriedly packing her things, Ma Li quickly drove to the theater.
Half an hour later.
The members of the Happy Twist Team gathered in the theater. Ma Li stood on the stage, and more than twenty team members sat in the audience. Everyone felt a little uneasy in their hearts.
"How are you memorizing your lines?"
"It's almost done. I should be able to finish the work."
"I can do that too."
After all, some of the people who have a lot of roles are professional drama actors, and when you perform in a drama in a theater, you have to do it unscripted. Unlike those stars filming, you can have a prompting board, and you can even read the numbers directly and dub them later.
"Everyone, please behave well later. Don't be nervous and show your best. This script is the only chance for us."
"Um."
Ma Li said a few words and then sat down and continued reading the script.
Not long after.
Ma Li received another message from Shao Yang, saying that the assistant director was here and asked her to go downstairs to pick him up. Ma Li hurried downstairs and brought Yan Fei and his assistant up.
Yan Fei came to the theater and saw that many people were already sitting inside. He glanced at it and asked, "Are you all actors selected by Shao Yang?"
"yes."
Yan Fei took the script and asked: "Who plays Ma Dongmei?"
Ma Li raised her hand: "Me."
"Who plays Qiu Ya?"
Song Xiaoya also raised her hand: "Me."
"Who plays Dachun?"
Li Ailun also raised his hand: "Me."
Yan Fei mentioned several important roles in this movie, but some people raised their hands.
Yan Fei was a little confused.
He originally thought that Shaoyang would use his influence in the entertainment industry to find a few stars to play for him, but he didn't expect that the people he found were all amateurs with no reputation at all.
A good movie does not need many famous actors, but it must have at least two or three famous actors. Even the lowest-cost movies will always find a few veteran actors who are not well paid but have good acting skills.
But apart from Shaoyang himself, there is no other star in this drama.
Yan Fei couldn't help but feel a little worried.
After he returned, he read the script several times and was very satisfied with the script.
He was also looking forward to how the movie would turn out, but now seeing these actors...
Yan Fei sighed and decided to wait for Shao Yang to come over before talking to him about the casting.
The actors of Happy Twist also noticed that Yan Fei was a little disappointed, and none of them were in the high spirits they were at first.
It didn't take long.
Yan Fei's assistant stepped forward and said, "Director Yan, Yin Fei is here."
"You go downstairs and bring him up."
"good."
Yin Fei, a student who just graduated from the Yangtze Art Institute last year, has only made two movies after more than a year of debut, and both were male supporting roles. Since there were not many roles, the two roles he played were not remembered by the audience.
, can be regarded as an unknown little player in the industry.
The main reason why Yan Fei chose him to audition was because Yin Fei was closer to the image of Yuan Hua in the script, he was handsome, and he graduated from the Yangtze Art Institute and his acting skills were okay.
Today, there are two people auditioning for the role of Yuan Hua.
Besides Yin Fei, there is another one named Li Bin. Compared with Yin Fei, this Li Bin is much more famous.
The year before last, he attracted a lot of fans as the second male lead in a Danmei drama. Last year, he acted in a comic book drama and a costume drama. The ratings were both good, and he can be regarded as a stable second-tier actor.
Almost another ten minutes passed.
Shaoyang finally arrived.
When everyone in Happy Twist saw Shaoyang coming, they all stood up: "Brother Yang~"
Shao Yang smiled and said, "I'm just going to try out a simple show today, so don't be nervous."
Yan Fei pulled Shao Yang aside and asked in a low voice: "Are they the actors you chose?"
"Yeah, is there any problem?"
Yan Fei frowned and said, "Not even a professional actor?"
Shao Yang smiled and said: "They have been performing in this theater for several years, and their acting skills should be better than more than 90% of the actors. Why, Director Yan thinks there is something wrong with the actors I chose?"
"But…"
Before Yan Fei finished speaking, Shao Yang patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Director Yan, I know what I'm saying. Listen to me on this matter."
Shao Yang did not add the word "ba" at the end of this sentence. Although his voice was not loud and he was smiling, he could hear an undoubted tone.
Yan Fei couldn't help but think of what Shao Yang said that day: "I am the director, and you are the assistant director I invited to help."
After Shao Yang finished speaking, he walked to the stage and said: "Today's audition is very simple. I choose a clip and everyone will act it out together, and then everyone will go through their separate parts again. If there are no problems, then it will be considered passed."
"How is everyone memorizing their lines?"
"It's all memorized."
Shao Yang asked again: "Director Yan, where is Yuan Hua's candidate?"
Yan Fei pointed at Yin Fei and said, "His name is Yin Fei, and there is another Li Bin who is still on the way."
Yin Fei was a few years younger than Shao Yang, so he humbly called him Brother Yang.
Shao Yang nodded and smiled: "Then let's start directly. We will act out the beginning of the movie today...the plot of Qiu Ya's wedding and the meeting of old classmates at the wedding."
This is also the first few minutes of Charlotte's Troubles. It is also a scene with lots of laughs and several leading actors are present at the same time.
"I'll give you five minutes to familiarize yourself with the script. Others, please simply set up the stage. Just set up a few round tables and a few chairs."
Yan Fei saw that Shaoyang was taking charge of everything and simply kept silent.
He wanted to see what kind of people Shaoyang invited and what kind of effect they could produce.
Everyone is reviewing their lines carefully.
Others also quickly set up the stage.
Yan Fei sat down in the middle of the third row of the auditorium.
Shao Yang also replayed this episode in his mind during these few minutes.
Since he started writing this script, he would practice his lines alone in the recording studio when he had nothing to do. Sometimes he would even record himself with his mobile phone to try to get the same feeling as in the original film.
If he hadn't made enough preparations like this, Shao Yang wouldn't have dared to have the idea of directing and acting on his own.
Everything is ready.
Everyone else has taken their seats at the table.
The scene quickly became quiet.
Shaoyang opened a bottle of mineral water, poured a little water into his hand, and then deliberately wet his hair to give it a 'non-mainstream' look.
Seeing this scene, Yan Fei was shocked.
This Shaoyang...
It seems that I am really ready...
Although this is a comedy, if other actors were asked to play the protagonist, I'm afraid they wouldn't damage their image like this.
Shao Yang must have combined the characters in the movie and had enough understanding of the characters to do this.
Yan Fei cheered up and became serious.
Shaoyang stood at the corner of the stage, walking slowly forward while reading the narration from the movie to start this clip.
"Everything I did today was for the person I secretly hide in my heart. Her name is Qiu Ya. She was very famous when she was in school and was recognized by the whole school as the school belle. But I was even more famous and was recognized by the whole school as a joke."
"But I don't understand why such a beautiful girl ended up marrying a pig."
"I want to have a flash of inspiration in his last days, and then disappear forever, becoming the male god in her life that she will never get. Although the protagonist today is not me, I want to dress the most handsome, but the sad thing is,
I actually matched my attire with the emcee..."
Shao Yang recited nearly 200 words of lines word for word, and even added performances.
To be continued...
