When Kang Jianfei saw Wu Zhenyu walking in, he couldn't help but was slightly stunned. It wasn't because he was excited to see the star. He didn't even feel like meeting the national leader now. The reason why he was stunned was because the Wu Zhenyu in front of him was different from the image of Liang Kun in his memory.
Too big.
Wu Zhenyu in front of him was only in his 20s. After he came in, he only glanced at Kang Jianfei and the others quickly, then moved his eyes downwards, not daring to look at them. After Wu Zhenyu sat down, his hands made many small and uneasy movements. These were all
This is a sign of extreme lack of confidence.
In other words, Wu Zhenyu does not have that kind of neurotic evil spirit now, he is just a bit handsome and extremely unconfident bit actor.
Kang Jianfei flipped through Wu Zhenyu's resume and asked: "Why have you been in TVB for six years and now you can only play a supporting role?"
Wu Zhenyu didn't expect that Kang Jianfei wouldn't let him perform. Instead, he asked questions. He hesitated and replied: "Maybe it's bad luck, or maybe his acting skills are not good enough."
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: "Well, here is a script. If your acting skills are up to par, then I will help you make up for the luck."
"Thank you, Mr. Kang." Wu Zhenyu stood up and walked over, taking an A4 piece of paper from Ang Lee with a fragment of the script printed on it.
When Wu Zhenyu got it, he saw that it only contained two to three hundred words, and he finished it in a blink of an eye. However, the content he needed to perform was completely different from what Liu Qingyun reminded him, which was to ask him to take care of his drunk girlfriend.
Moreover, the script was written in a very general way, almost like a story outline, with no specific actions at all. Wu Zhenyu had to figure out how to perform it himself.
Under the tension, Wu Zhenyu's brain was a little confused, and he could only perform to the air. No one acted opposite him to create an atmosphere, and he didn't know how to start.
"I'll give you one more minute to prepare." Kang Jianfei said, and Chen Bingkun next to him immediately looked at his watch to count the time.
Wu Zhenyu was so anxious that he almost started to sweat on his forehead. When Chen Bingkun announced that the time was up, he wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeves.
At the moment when he was wiping the sweat, Wu Zhenyu had an idea in his mind and made a move to put the person down from his back. Then he gasped and wiped the sweat. Then he walked out for a few steps and poured a cup with air in his hand.
When the water came back, I helped my invisible "girlfriend" drink water.
Wu Zhenyu's hand slowly tilted. Suddenly his expression changed, he put the "water glass" in his hand to the side, then dragged his air girlfriend out of bed to the toilet, and kept touching his "girlfriend's" back with his hands to help her.
Smooth vomiting.
"Mr. Kang, I'm done with my performance." Wu Zhenyu bowed again to the people who were conducting the assessment, and then returned to his seat nervously.
Although "My Sassy Girl" is a female-themed love movie, from the title of the movie, we know that it is unfolded from the perspective of the male protagonist. Therefore, the requirements for the male protagonist are actually very high, and he must not be too handsome.
To keep the heroine in the limelight, it shouldn’t be too frustrating to affect the audience’s sense of involvement, and the acting skills shouldn’t be too bad either. You must know how to perform funny and warmly. From a certain point of view, the performance of the male protagonist is more important and more difficult than that of the female protagonist.
While performing brilliantly, it also plays a role in highlighting the image of the heroine.
In terms of acting skills alone, Wu Zhenyu's performance just now can only be regarded as basically qualified.
Kang Jianfei selected another excerpt from the script and said to Wu Zhenyu: "Perform this excerpt again."
Want to perform another part?
Wang Zuxian, Li An and Chen Bingkun all looked at Kang Jianfei in surprise. Knowing that the previous auditionees had only performed one paragraph at most, could it be that Kang Jianfei fell in love with the actor in front of him?
Wu Zhenyu also looked at Kang Jianfei in surprise. He also reacted. Kang Jianfei gave him the second script, seemingly looking at him differently.
Forcibly suppressing his inner joy, Wu Zhenyu read the script seriously. The current script is much more detailed than the previous clip, and it should be cut directly from the official script.
What Wu Zhenyu is going to perform now is the scene where the hero and heroine are on the subway for the first time. Kang Jianfei wants to use this to test Wu Zhenyu's comedy talent.
"Xiaoxian, go and help him set up a scene." Kang Jianfei said to Wang Zuxian who was sitting there doing nothing.
"Ah?" Wang Zuxian exclaimed in surprise, then picked up the script and started reading it.
After the two became familiar with the script, they did not start performing immediately, but gathered together to discuss how to cooperate.
Next to a beautiful woman, Wu Zhenyu had no intention of admiring the beauty. He had to go all out to seize this rare opportunity for success.
The audition in the room continued, but people outside began to speculate about what was going on inside.
Ouyang Zhenhua looked at the closed door, licked his lips and said, "Zhenyu hasn't come out after more than ten minutes since he went in. Do you think he's going to win the first prize?"
Liu Qingyun nodded and said: "It's very possible."
Wu Qiming's smile was a little forced. There was only one male lead, and if Wu Zhenyu was chosen, he wouldn't have much of a role.
Ten minutes passed, then twenty minutes passed, and Wu Zhenyu hadn't come out yet. The actors who were still waiting outside for the audition had already guessed that the male lead had probably been decided.
Wu Zhenyu felt even more uneasy inside. He performed three segments in total. The first segment was about acting as a good man taking care of his girlfriend. The second segment was mainly to test the comedy effect of his expressions and movements. The third segment of the performance was
Sensational love story.
After performing the three scripts, Wu Zhenyu was like a prisoner waiting for sentencing. He could only tell Kang Jianfei whether he was dead or alive.
Kang Jianfei spoke: "Wu Zhenyu, right? This stage name change is very good. Are you willing to sign with Oriental Entertainment Agency?"
Wu Zhenyu swallowed quietly and nodded: "Yes."
Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "Don't be too hasty to answer. I'm talking about a long-term contract, a ten-year or eight-year contract."
"I am willing." Wu Zhenyu couldn't wait to express his feelings. In his current state, he is not qualified to sell himself to TVB. Let alone Oriental Entertainment Company to sign him for ten or eight years, he is willing to sign him for eighteen years.
Kang Jianfei did not directly say that Wu Zhenyu would be the leading actor, but said: "Within three days, I will report to Oriental Entertainment Agency."
"Thank you, Mr. Kang." Wu Zhenyu's voice was trembling when he spoke. The implications of Kang Jianfei's words were already very obvious. He would be a fool if he didn't understand.
The audition was still going on. When Wu Zhenyu came out of the room, everyone outside gathered around him and asked him what was going on.
Wu Zhenyu opened his mouth to speak, but he felt his throat was choked. He uttered two syllables as if he were crying, and then tears flowed down his face.
Wu Zhenyu's childhood was not much better than Huang Qiusheng's. Fortunately, his family is still complete, but he is relatively poor. But for a man who has entered society, poverty is the most troublesome thing. Mr. Xing later said in an interview
, also personally admitted that he was afraid of poverty when he was young, so he paid more attention to money, which sometimes led to things not being handled very well.
Wu Zhenyu had a criminal record in the bureau, not because he was a gangster like Cheng Kuian, but when he was in middle school, he fell in love with a pair of sneakers that cost more than 200 yuan. Since he really had no money to buy them, Wu Zhenyu seemed to be crazy at the time.
Likewise, I stupidly picked up my sneakers and left in broad daylight, but was caught on the spot by the shop owner and sent to the police station.
When Wu Zhenyu took the wireless training class, he was far worse than Zhou Xingchi. Zhou Xingchi only took the test twice, while Wu Zhenyu took the test four times. In the end, the teacher in charge of recruiting relented and recruited him into the training class.
Thinking back on the journey he had gone through over the years, Wu Zhenyu suddenly felt that all the hardships had finally come to an end, and he couldn't tell whether the tears he shed were because of excitement or joy.
Wu Zhenyu wiped away his tears and walked out of the studio. Liu Qingyun and the other two people quickly followed him. After walking for a while, Ouyang Zhenhua asked: "What's wrong? Why are you crying."
Wu Zhenyu blinked away the remaining tears, then wiped his eyes with his sleeve and said, "I may have been selected."
"Really?" Liu Qingyun, Ouyang Zhenhua and Wu Qiming exclaimed in unison.
"Really, Mr. Kang wants me to go to the brokerage company to sign a long-term contract within three days." Wu Zhenyu said with great certainty.
Liu Qingyun was stunned for a moment, then punched Wu Zhenyu in the chest and said with a smile: "You're treating me tonight!" (To be continued...) u
