Chapter 792: At that moment, there was no time to feel sad
"First one, Zhao Xuan! Come with me!" While everyone was waiting, a staff member came out and said with a smile.
"Brothers, I'm on board!" Zhao Xuan stood up and greeted the other three competitors.
Chen Mu smiled and shouted: "Come on!"
Ji Xiaojie said nothing, but gave a thumbs up.
The other one, Guan Xiaoshan, smiled and said: "If you are chosen, remember to treat me!"
"Well, whoever is chosen will get a treat!" Zhao Xuan replied.
As for what they think in their hearts, only they themselves know.
Zhao Xuan walked into the audition room.
"Director Li, hello teachers, my name is Zhao Xuan! I'm here to audition for the role of Wu Wanli."
Zhao Xuan was not nervous at all. Chen Wen obviously really liked Zhao Xuanxing. Hearing Zhao Xuan's words, he smiled and said: "Come on! Let's see how you perform!"
Li Yi glared at Chen Wen angrily.
Then I looked Zhao Xuan up and down, and I have to say that Zhao Xuan's team's strategy is pretty good.
Specially targeted makeup and image design indeed made Zhao Xuan look less handsome, and his skin became much darker.
It was somewhat beyond Li Yi's expectations.
Especially when he smiles, he does have a bit of a "naughty" tone, but it is a bit different from the image of a good boy he always maintains.
"Have you read the script?" Li Yi asked with a smile.
"Yeah!" Zhao Xuan nodded.
I don't know why*, but he became a little nervous at this time.
"Tell me about your understanding of the character Wu Wanli." Li Yi said still casually, as if just chatting.
"Wu Wanli, to describe it in one sentence, I think it can be said that he is a little wolfdog and a wild child. Although he has just arrived at the military camp, he is not afraid of anyone..."
"In the first half, Wu Wanli competed with the people around him and the environment. In the second half, he began to compete with himself. There is always a distance between becoming a hero. After experiencing "you can't point your gun at people" and "how to move so much"
After "running away" and "if you move, you will die", after experiencing artillery fire, rotting flesh and blood, and being baptized by death from cold, hunger, and death, Wu Wanli grew up and became a real warrior."
Zhao Xuan has obviously done preparation work. Of course, these things are nothing. After all, you want this role and it is a role in such an important movie, so Zhao Xuan can answer it immediately.
Li Yi suddenly asked: "Then why do you think Wu Wanli wants to serve as a soldier and fight?"
"I think there are several aspects. One is that every wild child has a hero complex. His two brothers have gone to fight in the war. In his mind, they are heroes, and he also wants to be like them! Also
It must be because you want your brother to be respected..."
Li Yi nodded.
Without saying anything, everyone has their own different understanding of the characters.
"Let's have a try. Now that you've read the script, you can pick a section and give it a try." Li Yi said with a smile.
This actually made Zhao Xuan a little stunned.
The main reason is that usually, in auditions, the director selects a scene, but Li Yi did the opposite and let him choose the scene for the audition...
Usually in auditions, the director picks a scene for the actors to try out, which can be said to be a surprise proposition composition.
In fact, in Li Yi's opinion, it tests the actor's on-the-spot adaptability.
But he turned it around and directly let him choose the roles himself, so the requirements for acting skills will definitely be higher.
After all, it is not a surprise audition, but to see if the actors can show their best side.
"I choose the scene where Wu Wanli witnessed the sacrifice of his comrade Zhang Xiaoshan!" Zhao Xuan thought for a while and said.
Li Yi nodded, feeling quite surprised. You know, sometimes silent scenes are more difficult than scenes with lines.
Because all your emotions need to be expressed through expressions, eyes, body movements and other language.
This scene is actually quite difficult.
This was the first time Wu Wanli felt death and what war was.
Zhang Xiaoshan, who had been with him all this time, was blown to pieces by a US military plane. His flesh and blood were bloody, and Wu Wanli's face was sprayed with blood.
But he can't move!
This kind of play is actually really difficult. Especially when there are no props and no one to cooperate, everything needs to be imagined out of thin air.
"I'll give you five minutes to prepare!" Li Yi said.
Zhao Xuan took a deep breath, closed his eyes and began to think about how to perform this scene.
In fact, for this movie and the role of Wu Wanli, the four candidate actors all attach great importance to it, and Li Yi gave them the character script in advance.
Therefore, as long as you put your mind to it, every scene of the character Wu Wanli will not be understood by heart, but at least it will not be unfamiliar to him.
Five minutes passed quickly.
"Let's start!" Li Yi glanced at the time and said.
Zhao Xuan suddenly fell to the ground. In this scene, in order to avoid the reconnaissance of the US military, the soldiers of the Seventh Company lay motionless among the rocks and pretended to be dead bodies.
The muscles on Wu Wanli's face suddenly twitched.
Li Yi couldn't help but be a little surprised*, some scenes would be really difficult to perform without props.
The most difficult part of this scene is that when comrade Zhang Xiaoshan disguises himself as a corpse, the reconnaissance plane of the M Army strafes and bombs the corpse for a boring bet.
As a result, Zhang Xiaoshan was right in front of Wu Wanli, with flesh and blood flying everywhere, and blood even splattered on his face.
And everyone knows that it is really difficult to perform some subconscious actions.
This is why Li Yi was surprised.
Zhao Xuan's body did not move, but his eyes suddenly widened. He was stunned for a moment, and then turned into fear!
The twitching of his facial muscles made it really feel like something was splashed on his face, and then his eyes changed and became sad.
However, Li Yi couldn't help but shook his head.
Zhao Xuan's performance in the front was actually pretty good. But his expression and the change in his eyes in the back were much worse.
Why do you say that?
When a person encounters such unbelievable and unimaginable things, will sadness come so quickly?
This is impossible. Sadness only occurs when one is awake, and this was the first time Wu Wanli felt that his comrades were dying in front of him.
His first reaction was definitely not sadness, but shock, panic, and his mind went blank.
Obviously, there is something wrong with Zhao Xuan's interpretation.
Of course we won't give too much time to the audition, after all, it's not just Zhao Xuan.
Therefore, this scene ended quickly.
"Okay, thank you for your performance. You can go out now. We have the results and will notify you!" Li Yi said with a smile.
Zhao Xuan felt a little uneasy. Although he didn't see Li Yi shaking his head just now, he didn't hear Li Yi cheering, nor did he hear other "seniors" cheering. This at least showed that his performance was still good.
not good enough.
"Thank you, director, thank you teachers!" Zhao Xuan stood up and bowed.
