Gu Zhao was surrounded by several people in his specific rest area and waved to Xia Yu; Tao Tang and Xia Yu looked at each other and walked over. Meng Dong took Xia Yu's and Tao Tang's handbags and sat aside where the assistant was sitting.
Second seating area.
"Ms. Tao Tang, long time no see!" Gu Zhao first smiled gently, then opened his hands.
Tao Tang also smiled slightly and went up to give him a hug - although Gu Zhao's ancestral home is in China and his nationality is still Chinese, he has lived in a beautiful country since he was a child. However, these countries have different national conditions, and the greetings between acquaintances are more complicated.
Be more enthusiastic.
Such as hugging ceremony, hand kissing ceremony, cheek-to-cheek ceremony, etc...
However, although Gu Zhao and Tao Tang knew each other, they were not too familiar with each other. A little hug could be regarded as the etiquette in place.
"Xia Yu, hello, thank you for your hard work!" Gu Zhao's attitude was actually very humble.
No wonder, except for the incident with Xu Wei, all the people in the circle who knew him, except Xu Wei, still maintained such an excellent relationship with him, and did not say a bad word about him because of this incident, and still treated him.
It's full of praise.
Because he was not familiar with Xia Yu, Gu Zhao had no intention of hugging him. Maybe he thought it was inappropriate, so the two simply shook hands.
Then they introduced each other to the team around him, they were all from the photography team——
"Last year, I had the honor to participate in a talk show hosted by Ms. Guan Jing. When chatting afterwards, I talked about you. Ms. Guan Jing admired you very much and said that you are very rare at your age and gave her new ideas.
Inspiration and insights——”
Although Gu Zhao is an out-and-out Chinese, due to circumstances, some things he should have kept in private, or even tacitly said, he revealed in front of everyone without any burden, saying: "Ms. Guan Jing also asked me
After learning about my plans for the new play, I was not stingy and revealed some information to her. I think you already knew about my audition, right?"
Tao Tang didn't say anything and let her do her best. She didn't show any timidity and smiled calmly:
"Ashamed, I wanted to get some audition questions in advance, but unfortunately, I got nothing!"
Gu Zhao was a little proud and said with a smile: "I have only recently arranged the audition content, but even if it is arranged in advance, I think I am still somewhat confident in this group of employees in my studio!"
Having said this, looking at Xia Yu and Taotang looking at each other with a helpless smile, he stopped talking.
"I think Ms. Guan Jing also told you that she was willing to participate again because you won the award. I happened to be in Xiangjiang at the time, and I went to see the movie when it was released there." He seemed to be recalling the movie.
In a certain scene, he looked satisfied and praised:
"I was able to make the leap from a TV series to a movie in one step, and also took on 70% of the entire movie by myself. I can't say that my role is impeccable, and there are still many scenes where I use too much force, but overall
, she is well-deserved as the best actress in the Golden Statue! So at that time, the first person I thought of for the role in the new drama, besides Cheng Yun, was you!"
After saying that, he looked at Tao Tang again and smiled: "Tao Tang, you really have a vicious eye! Since your debut, you have led two actors, and both of them won the Academy Award for Best Actress!"
Talking about this matter, the smile on Xia Yu's face did not change, and Tao Tang could only say two words: "Too modest!"
On the contrary, Zhang Chengye, who was sitting in the actor's rest area, had a dark face. Even though he kept a smile on his face, he tightened his hands tightly!
Because even to this day, he helped Cheng Yun win the three most luxurious endorsements and get the qualification to audition for "The Swordsman". Whether inside or outside the industry, mentioning "Cheng Yun" to his current achievements will always be mentioned.
It’s Tao Tang!
Fortunately, he was the only male agent among the seven first-line actresses. Several assistants were sitting in the rest area at the back and could not see him, otherwise it would have been funny, but he quickly adjusted his mentality.
Gu Zhao looked at Xia Yu carefully, and he was also amazed by her face, especially after the makeup removal was completed, without Yanye's lipstick and eyeliner - the indifferent temperament was clearly displayed, "You may be
, with or without makeup, she can be called a 'ceiling' level actress! Among the many Chinese actresses I know so far, apart from Wei Fei, there is only one He Qin, but what is even more rare is that the three of you
Everyone’s temperament and beauty are different!”
He was still thinking, and didn't know what he thought of. He finally said: "I remember that the first TV series you filmed was a female student in the Republic of China? In the second one, you played a female killer who couldn't help herself... In the movie, you played
I am a PTSD patient, and I went to Laozhuang. "Jinling Festival" was completed some time ago, right? I read the original work, and this time I played a promiscuous woman who has a completely different temperament from you..."
"They basically play different roles. To be honest, I'm really impressed by you! If the news of the audition hadn't been released and various companies were looking for me, I might have chosen one of the two or three of you.
Yes! If it weren’t for the fact that I can’t completely control this movie, I’d be really looking forward to it. It would be really exciting if you guys participated in one!”
Xia Yu: "It's too much praise."
After all, Gu Zhao still hopes that Chinese films can truly radiate to the world and become another Hollywood, or even a film mecca that surpasses Hollywood. Of course, judging from the current situation, there is still a long way to go.
!
And Xia Yu, Cheng Yun, him... they are all indispensable cornerstones on this road!
After chatting for a long time, Gu Zhao reached out his hand again and said with a sincere smile: "Come on, this time you have to face six seniors who are not inferior to you, and even far better than you in some aspects of experience."
——Looking forward to our cooperation this time or in the future!”
Xia Yu's attitude was equally sincere, with a faint smile on his unpainted face: "Thank you, Director Gu, for your teachings."
Gu Zhao stretched out his hand, "Okay, let's officially enter the process!"
Tao Tang handed the document bag containing the test certificate to Gu Zhao.
After Gu Zhao read it, he handed a large bag containing seven rolls to the two of them and said, "Just pick one of the audition questions."
I didn’t wait for the six people behind to arrive.
This can also be regarded as a small test for the audition——
Those who arrive first will naturally have the opportunity to read the questions first and figure out the audition and appearance time!
Xia Yu casually took one and opened it slightly. It was marked "No. 6" and the audition title——
"Life in the world to come."
This is the title, and underneath is a "script" of about a thousand words.
Gu Zhao smiled: "No. 6, well, a very lucky little guy!"
I thought that chatting for such a period of time would affect Xia Yu and delay her time;
Unexpectedly, she was lucky enough to pick the second to last audition time——
“Really not bad!”
Without continuing the pleasantries, Tao Tang took Xia Yu back to the rest area——
At this moment, Zhang Chengye had adjusted, and Cheng Tong (Sister Cheng Yun) was not present. He finally had a chance to talk to Tao Tang alone, but his words were still a bit sour. He grinned and said: "I'm really lucky.
!”
A pun.
"You're not bad either!" Tao Tang said.
That’s all I’m saying——
As soon as Xia Yu sat down, the Cheng Yun sisters entered the studio and were waved over by Gu Zhao.
The process was probably similar to Xia Yu's, and he also sighed and encouraged——
During the audition, Cheng Yun was fourth in line. After returning to their seats, the two parties just had a face-to-face meeting and each considered the content of the audition.
Following closely behind are Fu Yijun, Yan Jingdan, Feng Miao, Tong Yuyan, and Jia Shasha!
This is probably the first time that this group of A-list actresses have been exposed to the public without makeup. This scene must have been filmed by a monitor, but it will definitely not be spread out - and once the makeup is taken off, I have to say,
The halo around her body has also been torn off to a greater or lesser extent. Of course she is still beautiful, much more beautiful than the average person, but it doesn't have such a big impact anymore.
Among them, Xia Yu, Yan Jingdan, and Fu Yijun were all fine, especially Xia Yu, who had basically no impact.
And Yan Jingdan is not originally a "beautiful" route, a real acting school, but at only thirty-five years old, her condition must be greatly reduced. The original appearance of ninety-three or four is still stable at about eighty.
Seven or eight like this.
But her temperament was definitely captured by her.
Fu Yijun just commented on it.
Although he is no longer so stunning, his appearance is still artistic, and everyone just thinks, "He lives up to his name"!
Cheng Yun is left, still beautiful, but without offensive power, but in terms of sophistication, she is definitely one of the best here, so even if she takes off her makeup, her appearance of ninety-eight or ninety-nine has only dropped to ninety-three or four.
, relying on temperament, height, and skin, he is stable.
The remaining one, Feng Miao, also belongs to the light makeup group. Although she is not as stunning as Xia Yu without makeup, and she is inferior to Cheng Yun with makeup, but after taking off the makeup, she is slightly better than Cheng Yun. Her skin is also well-maintained.
Very good! I have to say that in their generation, she can stand out among the female stars and be named one of the four major stars by "Times". She has a reason!
As for the last Tong Yuyan and Jia Shasha,
She is definitely much more beautiful than the average person, but against the backdrop of the other five people, she is a bit unsatisfactory.
Tong Yuyan has everything going well, her age is there, her overall condition is still in her eighty-fifties, her skin color is a little dull, and the dark circles under her eyes are not obvious, but they are there, and the bags under her eyes are really just bags under her eyes, not called sleeping silkworms.
.
As for Jia Shasha, who had taken off her makeup and modified it, her whole person looked a little rougher, especially her skin color. She had the yellowest skin color among the seven actresses present - as far as the trail she got from Tao Tang was concerned.
According to the news, in order to whiten her skin, Jia Shasha has put in a lot of efforts, including skin care products, diet therapy, traditional Chinese medicine... a lot of them. The results are effective but not particularly obvious. She has become one or two degrees whiter than two years ago.
She even had to go to bed early because of her skin whitening. In the early days, she often argued with the crew. However, she has a high emotional intelligence and strong public relations skills. In addition to taking beauty sleep, she was very cooperative with the crew and did not do anything else.
Especially for "acting like a big name", my reputation is not bad, and I also try to make a fool of myself with this kind of thing. I even post it on Weibo from time to time. After a period of marketing, I "worked hard to establish my personality", and the response is not bad!
Normally, without so much contrast, Jia Shasha might just sigh and get angry, but when she arrived at the scene, she was basically crushed into the mud as soon as she appeared. She didn't lose her composure at the moment, and she managed her expression very well.
Fortunately, everyone present is about the same height. Except for the tallest Xia Yu, who is 1.73 meters, the rest are all between 1.66 and 1.69 meters. There is not much difference. Otherwise, for the sake of height, I might have to pinch her secretly.
Fighting, I can't wait to cut off a piece of the opponent's bones!
At about 9:40, everyone was in place, and the order of appearance for the audition was also arranged.
Yan Jingdan was the first to audition, followed by Fu Yijun, Feng Miao, Cheng Yun, Jia Shasha, Xia Yu, Tong Yuyan——
And everyone has at least half an hour to prepare——
And people like Xia Yu and Tong Yuyan, who appear last, have more time to ponder the script.
And half an hour passed almost in a blink of an eye for everyone who was carefully considering the script.
Xia Yu didn't know about others, but she watched it from beginning to end twice, and then thought about three or four ways to express it, and the time was up.
Just like what Zhang Chengye said sourly to Tao Tang, "You are really lucky!"
Why do you say that - the one who suffered the most was Yan Jingdan. She was ranked first, and those who appeared later, like Xia Yu, had another period of time to think deeply, especially after the former's performance, they could check for any gaps.
Fix the leak!
However, Yan Jingdan can be said to be the one with the most experience among the seven people in the group. She has been in the entertainment industry since she was sixteen years old. After that, she was admitted to the Imperial Film Academy and won the Hundred Flowers Best Actress Award just after graduation.
.
This award is another film award in Mainland China. In the early years, it was awarded in turn with the Golden Rooster Award. Two years before Xia Yu was banned, that is, the year Xia Yu made his debut, it was integrated with the Golden Rooster Award into one award!
You know, it was different from now. Although there are many excellent actors now, at that time it was truly a hundred flowers blooming - the best scripts, directors, and actors all reached their peak during the years when the four major actresses became famous.
Not to mention Xiangjiang and Wanwan, in the mainland, it is definitely a real fight between gods!
What was weighing on them at that time was that the previous generation had already been enshrined in the altar, and with the addition of the veteran actors and actresses from the previous generation, it was absolutely impossible to be able to win the Best Actress Award in such an era.
It is said that as long as you have acting skills, it means that your acting skills can completely explode in that year. It is not that you stand out from the crowd now, but that you become the most shining one among the cranes.
Yan Jingdan stood up leisurely and sighed for a moment, but he was not timid at all because he was the first to appear. He only said:
"Then it's embarrassing!"
At the staff's signal, she changed into a costume for the current audition scene.
It looked nothing at first, just ordinary. But when she walked under the green screen and stood in position according to the script, she saw that face, which could not be regarded as absolutely beautiful, but could only be said to be just right. She took a deep breath,
Slowly spit out——
The whole person feels completely different!

Something to say:
When we get together for the first time, I will describe it a little more. After all, it is the entertainment industry, and it is impossible not to touch everything - the same content will be reduced in the future!
I was a bit rushed in writing, so I haven’t revised these two chapters. I’ll revise them together when I get up tomorrow!
