In more than ten minutes, fifty or sixty people came to the classroom one after another. Liu Tianci helped distribute part of the script to the students.
It was said to be a part of the script, but it was actually only two or three pages. In such a short time, Fang Jing did not expect them to understand the character deeply. The appearance and appearance fit the character, and the important thing was that the price was cheap.
Those who can reach the third year of college have at least studied systematically for a few years, and are much better than most of the walk-ins in Hengdian.
"There are so many students, and I don't know them either. I would like to ask Teacher Liu to work hard to maintain order."
"It's okay, just a small problem."
"Well... let's start auditioning from this row. Come one by one. Don't change positions now. Those who come from behind should sit down in order."
Zhang Mingen was overjoyed. The old class was really interesting. Most of the people sitting in this row were students from his class. There were more monks than meat, and the pressure increased as you went to the back. It would be great if you could decide on the role early.
After a while, after the first period of class, the corridor was crowded with students, some watching the excitement, and some juniors coming over to audition after class.
"Director Guo, it's almost time, let's start?" Fang Jing reminded.
Guo Qi is a professional director and knows more about casting than he does, so just watch it yourself.
"According to Teacher Liu's arrangement just now, the first student will come here first."
The girl in khaki short-sleeves took a deep breath, put down the script in her hand, and walked on stage with a smile.
"Good friends, teachers. My name is Cen Qin. I am twenty-one years old and a junior in the acting department. I participated in a play at the school's anniversary celebration..."
The crew set up the machine and started recording. Guo Qi took out a piece of paper and wrote down the girl's main characteristics and comments, and asked a few questions from time to time.
Fang Jing folded his hands and just looked at it, nodding his head in appreciation from time to time. Nortel produces stars, and Chinese opera produces actors. This is true. Any student can complete three pages of dialogues in such a short period of time.
More than forty minutes passed, and ten people came up, none of whom had scripts. The lines were cadenced, the voice was full of emotion, and the foundation was solid.
Liu Tianci stood by the door and showed a kind smile. Seven of the ten people were in her class, two were confirmed on the spot, and a few were tentatively confirmed. The ratio was considered high.
"Hello teachers, my name is Zhang Mingen, I am twenty-two years old this year. Last summer I played a small supporting role in the crew of Love in the Spring, and I have some acting experience..."
Guo Qi asked some performance questions as usual, and Zhang Mingen answered them easily. He looked at the young man carefully and became more and more familiar with him, "Have we met before somewhere?"
With a sudden thought, Zhang Mingen's expression did not change and he smiled and said: "Many people say that I have a popular face. There are many people in our school. Maybe you have seen me a lot in the past two days, so it is normal for you to think that I look familiar."
"Really?" Guo Qi smiled playfully. He remembered that a student went to his place to audition two days ago. He was good at acting and was about to be hired. But when he heard that the pay was low, he called him a liar. That person
It seems to be this guy.
"The crew has limited funds and the pay is a bit low. Can you accept it?"
It's over, Zhang Mingen knew that people had recognized him, he just hoped that he wouldn't know that he was the one who reported it.
"I can accept it. I'm a newcomer. I mainly want to join the team to gain experience and learn from my seniors. It doesn't matter whether the salary is low or not."
This Adjutant Zhang is a bit interesting. Fang Jing recognized who he was as soon as he came on stage. He was an important supporting role in Laojiumen. He performed well in his previous life and was a very outstanding character. He had as many roles as him.
"Can you act like an officer during the Republic of China?"
Fang Jing's sudden opening made Guo Qi look sideways, and then he said to Zhang Mingen: "Play! I'll give you three minutes to prepare."
During the audition, the interviewer suddenly added drama. This is an actor who comes with a mixed bag of good and bad. If you act better, you will naturally have a good role waiting for you. If you don't act well, you will be screwed. Just go back and wait for news and politely refuse.
Seeing that he was a little hesitant, Fang Jing reminded, "Just act with two postures and faces, one to face the superiors, and one to face the subordinates."
"Okay, thank you."
With this, Zhang Mingen was sure. Fang Jing shortened the scope. Roll call required two faces. This lesson did not faze him. He thought about it carefully, turned around, turned his back to everyone, and suddenly turned around two minutes later, his spine
Standing tall and straight, with a serious face, he stood at attention and gave a military salute.
His body relaxed and he walked slowly for a few steps. Zhang Mingen put his hands behind his back, opened his arms and looked forward with eyes higher than his head.
"Director Guo, how are you?" Fang Jing asked with a smile.
"Okay!" Guo Qi naturally knew what Fang Jing meant. "Have you ever practiced martial arts?"
"No! But I have studied dance for a while and my body is very tough. If there is a need for martial arts, I can learn it."
"Can you endure hardship?"
"able!"
"Next."
"ah!"
Stepping down from the stage with a confused look on his face, Zhang Mingen felt uneasy and didn't know whether he had passed or not. He turned around and glanced at Lao Ban and saw her shaking her head, and his heart suddenly felt cold.
The audition lasted until seven o'clock, and hundreds of people were auditioned. In the evening, Guo Qi went back with the video to carefully select the actors, while Fang Jing was called to dinner by Liu Tianci.
The location is the school cafeteria.
This was what he requested. It was too troublesome outside and it would take more than an hour to wait for the food to be served.
"Fang Jing, what do you think of our school food? Do you like it?"
"It's very good. Four dishes and one soup cost more than ten yuan. Your school is so big that I almost got lost when I came in in the afternoon. The students have a good learning atmosphere."
"Hahaha! Is it as good as you said?"
There were a large number of students sitting around the two of them. All of them were skipping meals and listening to what they had to say. Many of them were auditioning for the show today and wanted to know the inside story.
After chatting for a while, Liu Tianci got to the point, "The studies in the junior year are not as heavy as the previous two years. Now many are busy looking for the crew. If you can, please reply as soon as possible and don't hold them back."
"Don't worry, Teacher Liu. We will work overtime tonight and the results will be available tomorrow. Regardless of whether the remaining people can be chosen or not, I will notify them as soon as possible."
The most annoying thing for Fang Jing was that when he was recruiting, he asked people to go back and wait for a call. He waited for ten and a half months without any news, which was a huge delay. When he called to ask, he was politely declined.
If you had known it was not possible, you would have told me clearly. A group text message would not have wasted a few cents.
"That's good, I'm sorry to bother you!"
"It should!"
…
Many Chinese opera students were destined to be unable to sleep that night, as they answered the phone within two seconds of ringing.
"Hey! Hello, this is me. Thank you for your hard work. Get out. I don't want loans."
In the morning, Zhang Mingen had dark circles under his eyes. Before he finished his breakfast, he received a call from the crew of Laojiumen, asking him to sign a contract.
"Clang!"
Pushing away the egg instant noodles, Zhang Mingen walked to the cafeteria window and shouted: "Auntie, add two hot dogs and five yuan of meatballs."
People feel refreshed when happy events occur, and he wants to have a good meal today.
