As soon as they arrived at the scene, the crew brought Shen Jie in front of someone.
Judging from the other party's appearance, if he was right, he should be the director of this drama. But since the other party didn't say anything, Shen Jie didn't take the initiative to ask.
"I will be eight years old soon. I am now in the third grade of elementary school."
Shen Jie answered truthfully.
"I heard from Huang Bo that you have many talents, can you show them off?"
The director didn't say much about what's good and what's not, but directly asked Shen Jie to show off himself.
Although it seemed like they were just chatting, Shen Jie knew very well that the selection of the characters had actually begun.
"My best talent is painting, and I can also sing. I have also participated in the dubbing of animations."
Shen Jie also talked about his skills in detail.
But he couldn't show off what he was best at, which made him a little depressed.
"You have also dubbed animations. Then let's show you the dubbing."
The director is quite interested in dubbing.
Painting, singing, etc., can at best be regarded as the icing on the cake when put on top of acting. But dubbing is different. Basically, it can be said that it is closely related to the lines.
The two most fundamental things for an actor are lines and acting skills.
Regardless of the acting skills of amateur children, if you have a certain foundation in lines, it will be a bonus.
Shen Jie also obeyed the other party's arrangement and casually came up with a line from Luo Xiaohei's War Notes.
"That's great. If your uncle Huang Bo is there, you can go and see him first."
The director also made up a random reason to send Shen Jie away.
As for being selected or not, Shen Jie has no idea at all.
However, this was a matter of God's will, so he didn't think too much about it. As soon as he entered the dressing room, he saw Huang Bo.
I saw that Huang Bo was still wearing casual clothes at this time, and he didn't look like he was wearing makeup at all.
On the contrary, the people next to me were all put on makeup and dressed in ragged clothes. They looked like beggars, with a lot of dust on their faces.
From the looks of it, the drama must be from a certain age.
Next to Huang Bo, Shen Jie also found a familiar person.
That was Wang Xun, an old acquaintance from Extreme Challenge. At this time, the other party had already put on his makeup.
What is different from others is that although Wang Xun's clothes are very contemporary, they are much more refined and he looks like a senior military officer.
Shen Jie had already guessed what the play was about. It should be a modern historical drama.
"You're here, you're so fast."
After Huang Bo saw Shen Jie, he also called Shen Jie over.
"Brother Bo, is this the child you found? This is a bit."
When Wang Xun saw Shen Jie, he hesitated a little.
"Something?"
"It's so cute that I can't do it. You have to make me the bad guy."
Wang Xun added.
"Don't look at me. It was the director who asked you to be this bad guy."
Huang Bo said immediately after seeing Wang Xun's expression.
Of course, the two of them were joking. Huang Bo also put in a lot of effort to get Wang Xun this role. After all, this TV series is a gift film, and many people want to come in. Wang Xun himself knows it, but
In this scene, he was asked to be a bad guy, scare children, and have some action scenes, which really made him a little reluctant to do it.
Soon the director just called Huang Bo and Shen Hai who sent Shen Jie over.
After a while, the two of them returned to the dressing room.
Looking at Shen Hai's expression, Shen Jie almost knew the result. It should be that he was not selected. Otherwise, the two of them should have told him directly.
Shen Jie's guess was correct. The director just called the two of them out to discuss this role.
"The child is quite good in all aspects, whether it is appearance or dialogue. However, after I talked with other people, I feel that the child still does not meet the requirements of the role."
"The main thing is that the image of this character should be that of a thin child. Because this character has been trapped in prison for a long time, the appearance cannot be too full. This is the main problem with the child. I am also sorry about this."
After hearing the director's explanation, both Shen Hai and Huang Bo knew clearly. The main reason was that Shen Jie was not thin enough.
In fact, Shen Jie's body shape is medium to thin among his peers. However, because he usually eats well, drinks well and sleeps well, whether in mental or physical condition, he cannot look like a malnourished child who has been imprisoned for a long time.
In addition, Shen Jie's skin is fair, which makes it even more impossible to fit the character.
So due to appearance reasons, Shen Jie ultimately missed out on this role.
But there is nothing that can be done about it. After all, it is not in line with the role. Even if Shen Jie is really asked to act, he will not go. He is also very self-aware.
Just like cosplay at comic shows, there are always some people who play roles that are seriously inconsistent with their body shape. The final effect is extremely exaggerated, and they even use their facial expressions to shut up others.
You should know what a person can and cannot act. Otherwise, if you insist on acting, you will not respect the role. It will also ruin the role.
Regarding this matter, both Shen Hai and Huang Bo are very sorry. The key is that they are better than the other child in other aspects, except for the appearance. There is really no way.
But Shen Jie is quite open-minded. It's okay if he can't be an extra for an important role. Anyway, he's here to experience filming.
Soon, Shen Jie also changed his clothes and put on makeup, and he could start shooting after the other extras were in place.
It is worth mentioning that since Shen Hai was here, Huang Bo was half-recommended and wanted to try the experience of an extra.
So Shen Hai and Shen Jie actually play a father and son in the play. Although they don't have names or lines, they still have one or two scenes.
Facts have proved that filming is indeed similar to what Huang Bo said, and it is quite hard. They have now followed other extras for a scene many times. The main reasons are basically either the wrong position, wrong lighting, or the starring role.
Error. Anyway, that's it. I can only say that the hardest among actors are actually the extras. At least the leading actors don't have to run around.
It wasn't until the afternoon that this segment was completed.
Shen Jie's own role is finally finished. Although he doesn't have a single line, it has an end at least.
Both of them were very tired. After a day of hard work and repeated shooting, Shen Jie was sweating all over even in winter. In addition, the clothes were really poor and he smelled like sweat.
But fortunately, Shen Jie can now pack up and go home. In addition to experiencing filming, he also got his salary, which is considered okay.
But when Shen Jie had just changed his clothes, he was suddenly stopped by someone.
