The situation of performing students has not been good in recent years, with idol stars, second- and third-rate singers crowding out their employment space.
Song Yi is relatively promising among these people. Inspired by Fang Yi, she has been running in various theater groups for several years, playing some tepid roles, and successfully passed the Beijing People's Art Center by relying on her accumulated professional skills.
The drama troupe was spotted by Fang Yi's agent, Sister Zhen, and was given a contract. It was the ceiling among ordinary people.
The classmate who called Song Yi for the interview said: "I really envy you. You don't need to worry about the road ahead."
Song Yi said: "Isn't Fang Yi even more powerful?"
The classmate sighed: "Is Fang Yi still a human being? We usually never include Fang Yi when we talk nonsense... It's a pity that when he was filming "Love Letter", we didn't have time to go. If we had gone
Now, maybe I can catch his light, isn’t that what Bai Yu is like?”
Song Yi didn't comment, just pursed his lips and smiled.
This round of interviews included Baoli Culture, Global Culture, various local art troupes, and other good places, so Song Yi would also come to have a look. Of course, what she actually wanted to see more was Fang Yi.
Maybe Fang Yi is the examiner.
Classmate Fang had silently rejected her a few years ago. Song Yi later figured this out.
But let’s see if it’s not illegal, shouldn’t people be allowed to think about it?
Job interviews for acting students are no different from those of ordinary college students. They submit resumes, introduce themselves, talk about their strengths and the works they have participated in - Yangzhou Opera attaches great importance to the employment situation of students and provides an entire floor for them to use as activities.
Space. When some theater troupes recruit people, they require live performances, so you can hear some actors in the state reading the words loudly.
In a practice room somewhere:
"No, no."
The interviewer Jin Dong drew a line on the booklet and said this, and then asked Guo Fan: "Director Guo, what do you think of the level of the interview?"
"I sit and watch."
"Director Guo, is it funny?"
Guo Fan licked his lips and said with a smile: "I think it's okay. Jin Dong, you seem to be too serious. If you feel unhappy, you can just brush the person off... Why do you have to keep a straight face? It makes me too.
I feel nervous, I just want to liven up the atmosphere."
Jin Dong frowned and used a ballpoint pen to make irritated points on the paper: "Because you are not from Yangzhou Opera, but I am from Yangzhou Opera. I feel that the level of these juniors is not good enough, and I am very worried~"
"You're not taking Fang Yi as a benchmark, are you?"
"I use my class as a benchmark. I have interviewed four people so far. Let's not talk about image...the professional ability is not up to standard. When speaking lines, it is like a little girl acting coquettishly. It is slimy and difficult for people to understand.
There is a teacher named Zhang Songwen at Jingying Film, who is responsible for providing acting training for young actors. He has opened an acting cram school. I have heard about some of his theories, and now I will tell you, Director Guo..."
Jin Dong raised his head and thought for a few seconds: "An actor cannot be the director's tool completely, and he cannot act completely according to the script. His acting skills must have some blank space and leeway. If possible, he must give himself
The character strives for more storytelling, so that he can stand out - for example, if he plays a scene of waking up from a dream, some people may act it out through body language and gentle murmurs.
"
"And some people will jump out of bed, sweating profusely, panting, and say, 'It scared me to death, it scared me to death'... This is not what professional actors should act, but
It's what laymen imagine as a 'waking up'. In fact, no one wakes up from a dream like this! What should I say? There is no life in this kind of performance."
Guo Fan advised him: "You, Yang Opera, are performing dramas. Is it possible that your movements are a little exaggerated? Otherwise, how would the audience see it?"
Jin Dong's face became even more bitter: "But we are not a theater troupe, we are making movies and TV shows. They should know how much to give... Could it be that they are like robots, with some memories stored in their brains, and if they encounter any similar situation,
Just come up with the same set of tricks?”
Guo Fan realized that Jin Dong was really angry, so he ignored Jin Dong's words and looked at the list of hired actors instead.
"White Feather."
"Song Yi."
Just these two. "Aren't they all from Yang Opera?" He muttered. "Everyone who can stand out has been picked away, right? For example, there was a guy named Zhang Rui in their class who went to Mango
The Taiwanese show "The Return of the Pearl" was signed by Tianyu... I also saw a young girl who said she had signed with a Hong Kong company... I mean," Guo Fan's voice became louder, reminding Jin
Dong said, "Now we are just checking for leaks and filling in the gaps. I see that they are all those who have been screened out."
Thinking of this, he complained: "That's why Director Fang didn't come to be the interviewer, because it's not worth his time. Otherwise, when you return home in glory like this, interviewing classmates, how many people can resist it? It's really true.
It's so cool... Of course, I'm not saying you have such superficial thoughts. The reason you rushed to catch the plane must be because you are worried about the employment of your descendants."
Jin Dong felt his face was very hot and said to himself: "Actually, it's because the influence is not good. Fang Yi has not graduated yet and is not suitable for this."
"What about graduation?"
"After graduation, I'll be an examiner, maybe even an art exam teacher."
Guo Fan then reminded him: "Then you have to interview everyone in their class... maybe we won't have a chance in the future."
Jin Dong's eyes widened and he was agitated: "These juniors and juniors just lack education. Let me, Senior Brother Jin, explain it properly!"
"There are still many people here. Do you want to interview until evening?"
"Don't let anyone go!"

Guo Fan carried a pile of materials to Fang Yi's studio. His new home was nearby. When he arrived, he looked up at the sky and saw that the Souhu Building looked very majestic in the night, with bright lights and a sign saying "Fang Yi Work"
The words "room".
After a while, the studio will be promoted to the "Republican Era".
Good name, good meaning: revolutionize the lives of those pigtailed guys.
Guo Fan spat, shook his head and hummed. Today he saw a bunch of crooked melons and cracked dates, and learned about the differences in the world. He also understood that people like Fang Yi are really rare.
Having been around high-level people all the time, I have almost forgotten what the average level of the industry is, let alone those who can't get into the industry.
Taking the elevator and walking through the corridor, someone greeted him "Guo Guo" on the way, and Guo Fan kept nodding.
Suddenly, I met a young girl who looked rather exotic.
who?
But that person soon left with a manager assistant. Guo Fan didn't know the girl, he knew the assistant manager, who was someone who used to work for Sister Zhen: that is to say, the woman might be here to apply for a job, or maybe
A newly signed artist.
There have been quite a lot of this happening recently, and he doesn't bother to know. Guo Fan is the one who makes the thread, so he doesn't need to know.
I knocked on the door and saw Fang Yi watching a movie.
