The faces of the jury staff arranged by Great Wall Film and Television were full of doubts. They saw Dai Chengbi put a question mark on the child's resume, which meant that the child's performance was pending.
The little girl's performance was over, but she hadn't thought about it yet. She looked over at her many times, obviously wanting to see what her score was. When her family came over, she didn't pick up the child immediately, but came over directly.
With a flattering look on his face, he said, "How is my child's performance? Is there any hope? My child is very talented and has learned various performance methods. If you think it is suitable, you can change it to another one!"
"It's over. There is news. We will notify you within seven working days. Thank you for your cooperation!"
The parents were obviously dissatisfied with the answer, "Director Dai, can't we tell you now if it's suitable? Wait, when will we wait?" It was the staff who saw the obvious impatience on Dai Chengbi's face and forcibly comforted the parents.
The child was taken out!
When the parents went out, they could still faintly hear whispers, and three or four staff members couldn't help but look at Dai Chengbi, "The little girl's performance is not bad, she is more lively than the previous seven or eight!"
When Dai Chengbi is not involved in work, he acts like a fool, but when it comes to work, his attitude is tough, meticulous, and impartial, saying, "So, I put a question mark, to be determined, I haven't denied her yet!"
But after saying this, Dai Chengbi put a cross on his resume that had originally been marked with a question mark. This shocked the jurors, truly dumbfounded. This time, they didn't know what to ask.
.
"Didn't it say to be determined?"
Dai Chengbi glanced at them and looked at Xia Yu, "You tell them?"
Xia Yu nodded slightly - although she was one of the "examiners" for this casting, she was still an actor after all, not a director, and she was still learning. But from the last casting to this time, after several observations,
She has learned some things.
"The little girl's lines are okay, but her concentration is not enough. She likes to look around with her eyes. She is quite lively. Her acting skills are very good for a little girl of the same age. But if she wants to play these two roles well, there are a lot of things that need to be corrected.
The most important thing is that most of her eyes are fixed on the camera and she focuses too much on self-expression. It is very difficult to train such a child."
Xia Yu didn't know whether what he said was the right direction for Lao Dai as a director, but as an actor, expressiveness is very important, but excessive performance is not only suspected of stealing the scene, but also appears to be particularly undeliberate——
There was something she didn't say. The little girl's eyes were very smart, but a little too smart. For this role, what she wanted was a sense of wisdom, not a sense of being clever.
She didn't say this. Most of these children seemed to be selected normally, but to be honest, among the children of this age, some have acting experience, some are studying acting, and how many of their family members are not engaged in related industries?
You may not know which one is a child of a middle-level or senior executive in the company, a relative or a friend... you already know clearly that you won't choose, so there is no need to talk about things that have nothing to do with you. This is something that most people in the workplace understand.
But Dai Chengbi doesn't understand. He has always been used to it, especially at work. He bluntly said, "The little girl's acting skills are average, and she can barely do it, but the parents are not good. With the state of the parents, by then, it will be fine if nothing goes wrong.
If something happens, the whole crew will make a fuss. If the little girl has no choice in acting, which is really good, or her acting skills are average and very malleable, I will tolerate it - ordinary parents can't, the children won't notice the problem in a short time, but once they get along with each other,
, as long as the parents have the same children!”
The parent almost rushed to their faces and asked, "Have you passed the second round?"
Most child stars in the entertainment industry are like this, especially those whose parents are well-connected. As long as they are good-looking and beautiful, most of them are a bit arrogant - they feel that if their children are given a chance, they will become superstars in the future!
Once I was selected, I knew how to be restrained at first, but gradually started to act like a big star.
If you are not selected, it is because your crew and your vision are not good!
Xia Yu is naturally hot, but in the eyes of some parents, that's just that,
'What's the use of fire now? When our baby grows up, he will be even hotter than her!'
In particular, Xia Yu is not actually a staff member of Great Wall Film and Television. Except for a small group of real executives, the rest of them basically don’t know that Xia Yu almost became one of the major shareholders of Great Wall Film and Television. In their eyes, Xia Yu Studio is just a swindler of Great Wall Film and Television.
A small film and television workshop... As for Zhuang He, in the eyes of many people who don't understand movies, he is far inferior to Xu Wei. After all, in their eyes, box office is the right thing!
Xia Yu and Dai Chengbi don't care either.
Of course, some families felt a little excited when they learned that this audition was conducted by Dai Chengbi and Xia Yu, and that the script was probably the third collaboration between the two of them.
So far, a total of eleven young girls have auditioned, three are pending, and eight have been marked as crosses, whether by Xia Yu or Dai Chengbi, each with their own shortcomings.
"Six left!"
If this round fails, it will take another month or two to select young actors.
"Next!"
Not being able to find a satisfactory one among the eleven, Xia Yu and Dai Chengbi were somewhat discouraged. This was the best batch selected from a large number of excellent seedlings - but you want them to lower their standards.
, that is also impossible!
I would rather delay the shooting than lower the standards. Children are very malleable, but they still have to find the right one.
On the 12th, the 13th, the 14th, the 15th... until the 16th, the little girl walked into the audition studio. It cannot be said that her eyes lit up, but whether it was Xia Yu or Dai Chengbi, they were all in this little girl.
I saw a hint of Tongtong in the girl!
The little girl's performance afterwards was, to be honest, stumbling. After all, the first round of interviews included age, appearance, height, and more, which cannot be seen in just one video!
The two of them could clearly feel the little girl's nervousness, and the little girl's performance seemed clumsy, but she subconsciously combined this nervousness with the plot of the performance, giving her clumsy performance a sudden and helpful effect!
"Great skill is like clumsiness, great argument is like indifference!"
In just one scene, Tongtong's panic and fear when he first realizes that he has been abducted are shown.
She is still very raw, but it is already very good for a seven-year-old girl to be able to perform to this level. As long as she does not go astray in the future, she will definitely be a good actor!
Xia Yu and Dai Chengbi looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes. Dai Chengbi was about to put a big check mark on the little girl's resume, but fortunately Xia Yu stopped her and signaled that he had finished reading and not to reveal the truth.
