Chapter 245: What's the deal with cross-border grabbing jobs?
After receiving a satisfactory answer, Zhang Yimou nodded slightly, then took out a business card and handed it to Wu Bai,
"Have you ever learned anything about acting?"
Wu Bai nodded after taking the business card, "I understand, but I have no acting experience."
It seems that he is a pure newcomer, Zhang Yimou thought thoughtfully, but it is not a big problem. Sometimes the performance depends on the understanding. A good understanding can be understood with a few words of advice.
If your understanding is not good, you can only rely on practice day after day, year after year.
Arrange a trial show at that time to see how this young man's understanding is. After all, good appearance is not a huge advantage in the fish entertainment industry.
Thinking of this, he patted Wu Bai on the shoulder and said,
"Young man, do you have time tomorrow afternoon? We have an audition for the male lead tomorrow afternoon,"
"If you have time, how about we come over and give it a try?"
Wu Bai nodded when he heard this, "Okay, no problem."
Although Wu Bai is now quite famous in the entertainment industry, he doesn't think there is anything wrong with Zhang Yimou asking him to audition for the show.
After all, no matter how famous he is in the music industry, that fame does not come from his performance. It comes from the music world. As one of the leading directors in China, Zhang Yimou,
The selection of candidates must also be based on performance ability.
Not to mention the male protagonist?
And it is very rare for him to be auditioned for the leading role in the first meeting with him. You must know that most people who enter the entertainment industry, if there is no relationship, have to climb up step by step from playing a small role.
!
No one knows the hardship involved!
He didn't have any acting experience and let him directly audition for the leading role, which already opened a huge back door for him.
So he agreed readily.
Yang Mi on the side could not help but be dumbfounded when she saw that in just a few minutes, the two of them had already made an appointment for a audition tomorrow.
No, what's going on? Wu Bai has never acted before. Why did Director Zhang just ask him to audition for the leading role?
Wu Bai, too, dared to agree to audition for the leading role without having any experience in acting? It’s true that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers!
However, there seemed to be no room for her to comment at the scene, so she had no choice but to accept it, and secretly thought that she would give Wu Baie some knowledge about acting later.
Besides, Director Zhang made an appointment with someone to audition and then got up to call it a day.
"What, my heroine here has also finished her interview. I have to leave first. I have other things to do. Anyway, let's see you there tomorrow!"
So Wu Bai and Yang Mi said goodbye to Zhang Yimou, and they were going to find a place to have dinner.
Before leaving, Zhang Yimou gave Wu Bai a copy of the script for the audition the next day and asked him to go back and think about it first.
On the way, Yang Mi couldn't wait to teach Wu Bai her acting experience. After all, time was urgent, so try to squeeze in as much as you could, which is better than not being blinded when you arrive at the scene.
"Wu Bai, let me tell you, as an actor, the most important thing is to experience the emotional feelings of the character and find your own "stage self-feeling", so as to achieve the ultimate goal, which is to have both form and spirit, and look like whoever you play!"
"When you are performing, you should imagine that you are the character you want to play, and think about what the character's natural emotions will be like in the plot, and what kind of external actions will be inspired by it."
"Reveal it naturally."
"When you get back, read the script first and carefully figure out the character. If you don't understand anything, just ask me. Do you understand?"
As soon as she got in the car, Yang Mi started talking nonstop, but Wu Bai didn't get bored and listened with gusto.
Yang Mi is worthy of being a graduate of Beijing Film Academy. She has a wealth of acting knowledge, and it all corresponds to the knowledge points in her mind. She really has two skills.
After the meal, the two went back separately. Yang Mi no longer pestered Wu Bai to eat after the meal or walk on the road, but urged him to go back quickly to ponder the script.
Wu Bai also took advantage of the situation and returned home.
After getting home, I simply washed up and then lay on the bed and started reading the script given by Zhang Yimou.
It is indeed the movie script of "Send You a Little Red Flower".
He is quite familiar with the plot, but which part should he show to the director for the audition tomorrow?
This still needs to be thought about carefully.
Wu Bai went through the script several times.
Finally, I stopped at the scene where Wei Yingxing and his parents were arguing. This scene would have been very difficult if there was no one to cooperate and you had to perform it yourself without any physical objects.
Because the whole section is about interacting with people, and there are also many different emotional changes or complex emotions mixed together.
It is a great test of an actor's acting skills.
And Wu Bai wanted to challenge it.
.......
The next afternoon, Wu Bai specially picked out an outfit that was more similar to the hoodie worn by the four-character brother in the original film and went out.
He showed up at Zhang Yimou's studio on time. This time, unlike yesterday, all the people who came were boys. Wu Bai took a look and found that most of them were well-known.
Like Zhang Yishan, Wu Lei, Four-Character Brother, Bai Jingting, etc., many of them are actors who are already well-known in the entertainment circle, and they are actually gathered in this small studio.
,
Wu Bai couldn't help but sigh, it was indeed director Zhang Da's appearance, it was really Xiu'a!
The leading actor in a new movie attracted so many actors to audition for the role.
And they are all quite capable actors!
And similarly, not only Wu Bai recognized these well-known actors, but many people present also recognized Wu Bai. After all, everyone is in the music industry.
It's just that Wu Bai is mainly popular for singing, and they are mainly popular for acting.
This made many people murmur in their hearts, wondering how Wu Bai, a singer, could come to Zhang Yimou's studio.
Could it be that Director Zhang’s new film music needs Wu Bai to write it?
Thinking of this, many people feel that they must have guessed it right.
Otherwise, you couldn’t tell me that he, a singer, was going to cross over to compete with me for my job, right?!
So the idea that Wu Bai might be here to try out the show just flashed through everyone's mind.
The moment Zhang Yishan saw Wu Bai, his eyes lit up, idol!
Then he couldn't control himself and suddenly rushed in front of Wu Bai, looking at him with bright eyes.
Wu Bai was obviously taken aback by this situation. Before he could speak, Zhang Yishan took the lead in introducing himself.
"Hello! Idol!"
Wu Bai blinked blankly, "Hello, fan?"
Zhang Yishan instantly smiled widely, "Idol is so interesting! I really like listening to your songs. Is the idol here to write a theme song for Director Zhang today?"
"No, I'm here to audition." Wu Bai replied generously,
"Trying a show?" Not only Zhang Yishan was stunned, but the people around him were also shocked by this moderate sound.
What's going on?? This person is really here to compete with them for jobs??
