Chapter 389 This Sentence Is Not in the Script Either.

Yang Naiwen came to the audition this time with a colleague of the leading actor.

This character has a little more scenes than ordinary characters, and is also included in the main roles.

As for Li Jingfei, the male protagonist’s uncle came to audition.

The role of the hero's uncle is very special. He has almost no role of his own in the entire movie. In most cases, he is part of the background, but he cannot be ignored.

Even after watching the entire movie, many viewers will find this uncle very mysterious.

Some viewers also believe that the role of the uncle is designed to confuse the audience's attention or enrich the relationship between the characters.

In Zhou Yan's heart, the role of uncle, like other main characters, cannot be eliminated. This role is more like a background, belonging to the background of the male-headed family.

With him or without him, the feeling of this family will be obviously different.

…

Zhou Yan entered the room. Jiang Mengfei and the camera crew were playing with the camera. Today's audition process will also be recorded.

"Can we start?" Zhou Yan asked.

Li Hong smiled and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you to come."

Zhou Yan nodded, walked to Li Hong and sat down, "Just call people in, let's speed up the progress."

"Okay, Director Zhou." Assistant Director Shen Yan immediately got up and ran out.

Li Hong looked at Shen Yan's back with a smile, "Old Shen's legs are still fast."

Shen Yan is a student of the 1987 class at Yanjing Film Academy. After graduation, he did not join a workplace. He rented a house by himself and wanted to start a business and set up an advertising company.

However, after working for two years, I failed to achieve anything, and with limited funds, it was difficult to start a business, so I went to Qizhi Company for an interview and became the advertising director of Qizhi Company.

Zhou Yan saw the commercial shot by Shen Yan and thought it was very good. After asking around, he found out that Shen Yan graduated from Yanjing Film Academy, so he called him over. Now he works for Li Hong in the directing team.

Shen Yan has solid basic skills and a quick mind, so he plays a big role in the directing team.

After a while, Ana Shen brought in an actress about fifty years old.

As soon as they saw the actress, Zhou Yan and Li Hong stood up and said hello with a smile, "Thank you, Teacher."

This person is Xie Fang, an actor from Yanjing Studio. Zhou Yan worked in Yanjing Studio every day before and knew most of the people in the factory.

Xie Fang has long been relegated to the second line and rarely plays major roles. She spends more time in the factory. Because of this, she meets Zhou Yan more often.

Not to mention Li Hong, he also came from Yanjing Studio and is very familiar with Xie Fang.

This time Zhou Yan was going to film "Time and Space Traveler", and Yanjing Film Studio recommended Xie Fang to audition as the hero's mother.

Xie Fang has the temperament of an intellectual and an independent woman. What is rare is that she can not only portray the image of a weak woman, but also show a strong temperament.

The former is fine for ordinary actresses, but the latter is rare.

In addition, in Han Sanping's words, her eyebrows are somewhat similar to Zhou Yan's, so it is quite suitable to play the role of mother and son.

The order in which the number is called has nothing to do with the position or seniority, it all depends on how early you sign in.

Xie Fang was the first to be called in, which meant that she was the first to sign in, which showed that she valued this audition very much.

Although Zhou Yan stood up to greet Xie Fang very politely, she did not rely on her old age. She still greeted Zhou Yan very politely, "Hello, Director Zhou, hello, directors."

Normally when she was at Yanjing Factory, she would call Zhou Yan Xiao Zhou, but on an occasion like today, she knew that calling him Xiao Zhou would not be appropriate anymore.

Zhou Yan nodded and sat down, "Teacher Xie, let's not waste time and start directly. You are auditioning for drama No. 62. Have you got the script?"

Seeing that Xie Fang had nothing in his hand, Zhou Yan asked.

"I've got it, but I put it in the lounge. Because there aren't many lines, I'll try to go unscripted."

Although one cannot directly judge whether an actor is good or bad by going off-script, but since Xie Fang dares to go off-script, it shows that she is very confident in her lines, which is definitely a plus for Zhou Yan.

"Okay, then I'll give you a ride."

After all, they are seniors and have a good relationship. Zhou Yan also gave Xie Fang some privileges and came out to act with her in person.

Scene No. 62 is the scene where the male protagonist takes the female protagonist home and the female protagonist talks to the male protagonist’s mother.

There are only two characters in this section, one is the heroine, and the other is the hero's mother. Now that Zhou Yan is joining the scene, he will naturally play the heroine.

Zhou Yan already knew the script by heart, so he started directly without any preparation.

"start."

After Zhou Yan finished speaking, Xie Fang immediately got into the mood. She looked at Zhou Yan with a smile, "What shortcomings do you have? I mean, just some small weaknesses?"

Seeing Xie Fang's expression, Zhou Yan nodded secretly. There was no problem with Xie Fang's professionalism. She got into the mood very quickly and her body and eyes were well done. This showed that she had studied the role carefully just now.

In fact, this is not easy, because the script Zhou Yan gives to the auditionees is very restrictive, and there is basically no explanation. In many cases, the actors need to express themselves.

Zhou Yan replied expressionlessly at this moment, "I don't feel safe."

Compared with Xie Fang, Zhou Yan's line was very blunt and emotionless, and even the pronunciation was not clear and a bit vague.

Of course, this is not because Zhou Yan's acting skills are not good, nor is it because Zhou Yan is not used to playing a heroine, but because he did it deliberately.

He took the initiative to play a role for Xie Fang, and did not say that he must make it easy for Xie Fang. On the contrary, he wanted to create a little difficulty for Xie Fang, because only in this way can Xie Fang's level be better seen.

Actors need to blend into the environment, but sometimes, they also need to step out of the environment.

No matter how unsuitable Zhou Yan's performance was for the role, Xie Fang would take over the role.

Xie Fang raised her eyebrows, but was not affected by Zhou Yan and continued to say her own lines, "Well, it's pretty good."

Zhou Yan then said, "Sometimes I have a bad temper."

Xie Fang laughed and said seriously, "Great, otherwise how can you get men to listen to you?"

"In addition, I have a weakness, which is your son."

At this time, Xie Fang suddenly looked into the distance, then quickly looked back, and said in a playful, indifferent, but affectionate tone, "Me too, but don't tell him, otherwise his tail will be raised." Heaven.”

The audition scene ended here, but Zhou Yan had no intention of letting Xie Fang go, and continued, "What about you, what are your shortcomings?"

When Zhou Yan asked this question, the staff at the scene were stunned.

Li Hong and Ana Shen looked at each other, and they both saw confusion in each other's eyes.

There is no such line in the script.

Not only was it not in the script they gave the auditionees, it was not even in the official script.

Could it be that Director Zhou remembered it wrong?

Ana Shen was more inclined to think that Zhou Yan had remembered it wrong. After all, Zhou Yan had just started without reading the script.

Although the script was written by Zhou Yan, how many screenwriters can clearly remember the lines in their scripts without missing a word?

But Li Hong didn't believe that Zhou Yan had remembered it wrong. He had followed Zhou Yan for so many years and knew Zhou Yan's memory very well. This kind of misremembering of a whole line had never happened before.

If he didn't remember the lines wrong, then Zhou Yan must have done it on purpose.

Of course Xie Fang was also surprised, because the script she got ended here, and there was no line said by Zhou Yan in the back.

But at this time, she couldn't allow her to think too much. Although it was an audition, she strictly followed the official start of filming. As long as the director didn't call for a break, she had to continue acting.

Xie Fang first made a pensive expression, and then said with a smile, "Marrying a husband who tolerates you in every way has a very serious consequence, that is, you will gradually forget your shortcomings."

This line was purely made up by Xie Fang, because she had no idea what kind of husband the male protagonist's father was, but she also felt that based on the character of this character, it was very likely that he would say such things.

At this time, Zhou Yan did not embarrass Xie Fang anymore. He smiled and clapped, "Teacher Xie, you performed very well."

Seeing Zhou Yan applauding, Xie Fang breathed a sigh of relief. She couldn't help but ask Zhou Yan, "Did you add this line temporarily?"

Zhou Yan said with a smile, "I misremembered the lines. After I said them, I suddenly realized it, but Teacher Xie, you did a good job."

Although Zhou Yan said that he remembered the lines incorrectly, Xie Fang still felt that something was wrong, but she didn't have the option to ask again.

"I almost missed it."

"Blame me, blame me. Teacher Xie, you also know the shooting time of our movie. There should be no problem with the schedule."

Xie Fang nodded, "No problem, otherwise I wouldn't come to the audition."

"I'm going on a business trip to Pengcheng for a while."

"It's no problem. As an actor, it's normal to travel on business."

"Okay, I have no problem here. The audition is over. Teacher Xie, just go back and wait for the news. If there are no accidents, the results will be notified to you within three days. Thank you for coming today."

"Director Zhou, you are too polite. Then I will go out first."

"Well, walk slowly."

After Xie Fang left, Zhou Yan asked Li Hong and Shen Yan, "What do you think?"

Li Hong looked at Ana Shen, and then said first, "Everything is good. Teacher Xie is the screen spokesperson of the first generation of intellectual women. There is no problem with her image. However, maybe because the script she got is relatively short, she is not familiar with the role." The speculation is not good enough.”

Ana Shen also spoke at this time, "For such a short script, I think it's pretty good to be able to achieve this level. If I were to rate it, Teacher Xie's performance would be rated eight points from me."

Zhou Yan did not express his opinion, but just nodded and said, "Let's do this for now. There are two other actors who will audition for this role today. We will wait until everyone has finished auditioning."

"I'll go call someone again." Shen Yanzhu stood up again and went to call someone.

…

The person brought in this time was Li Naiwen, whom Zhou Yan met outside just now.

After Li Naiwen was brought in, he seemed very excited. He first bowed towards Zhou Yan and the others very respectfully, "Hello directors, I am actor Li Naiwen. I am twenty-two years old this year."

Zhou Yan looked through Li Naiwen's information and asked, "You are just in your senior year, can you balance your studies with filming?"

When Li Naiwen heard this question, he was obviously stunned. He felt that the person sitting in front of him was not the director, but their teacher. His mouth was so teacher-like that it made him a little nervous.

Faced with this problem, Li Naiwen could only pat his chest and guarantee, "Don't worry, Director Zhou, I will definitely not delay the filming."

"Filming is one thing, but the most important thing is schoolwork." Zhou Yan did not go into the topic and started talking to him about the role, "You auditioned for the role of Zhong Xuwen. Can you tell me about your understanding of this role?"

In fact, this question is a bit embarrassing, because the script that Li Naiwen got was very short, just like Xie Fang.

It is nonsense to want to have a deep understanding of the role with such a short script and only a few lines.

But Li Naiwen did not panic. He organized his words a little and said, "I think Zhong Xuwen has a bit of a nerdy feeling, a little unaware, and not sensitive enough to other people's emotions. Maybe I said a little too much. This character is a bit stupid."

Zhou Yan nodded. Li Naiwen has done everything he can.

Knowing that this question is embarrassing, Zhou Yan still asked it. Of course, he didn't want a very accurate answer. In fact, no matter what Li Naiwen answered, even if there was a huge deviation in the analysis of the role of Zhong Xuwen, he didn't care.

What Zhou Yan wanted was Li Naiwen's attitude towards the role.

Even if the script is short, the actor should try his best to analyze the role through clues.

Whether it is done well or not is one thing, and whether it is done or not is another thing. What Zhou Yan wants to see is whether it is done or not.

Obviously, Li Naiwen did it, and did it very well, which made Zhou Yan very satisfied.

After that, Zhou Yan did not make things difficult for Li Naiwen and let him start directly.

The play that Li Naiwen tried was very simple, which was the scene where the male lead met Zhong Xuwen for the first time. There were only a few lines in total, and it really showed Zhong Xuwen's stupidity.

During the whole audition process, Li Naiwen performed very well, and he played that kind of stupidity very well.

But Zhou Yan was a little dissatisfied, because Li Naiwen's image was not the kind of person who looked like a punching bag at first glance.

First of all, Li Naiwen is not short at all.

Li Naiwen should be only a little shorter than Zhou Yan, and he can reach 1.8 meters when wearing shoes.

With such a height, most of the actors in the crew were not as tall as him when filming later, and he did not look like a punching bag at all.

Although the difference in image can be made up by acting skills, it is limited.

Moreover, since you can directly find an actor with the right image, why do you have to find someone with a different image and then use acting to make up for it?

But Zhou Yan didn't want to give up Li Naiwen.

After a moment of silence, Zhou Yan said to Li Hong, "Bring the audition script No. 33." (End of this chapter)
