I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

   Chapter 374 372. Aunt Zhao

   "Hi director, I'm Shu Chang..."

   "Hello Director Xu, Hello Director Zhang, hello directors, I'm Bai Baihe, and I'm auditioning for the role of "Jing Qiu"."

   "Hello directors, I am Yao Di, 164cm tall and 45kg in weight..."

   On the second day of the audition, this batch of actors who had already debuted and were barely stuck at the age limit of around 23 began to enter the audition scene.

   Compared with those actors who were still seeking small roles yesterday, the acting skills of these actors are obviously better than those who came yesterday.

   But strong is strong, audition acting skills are one aspect, and actors' "eyes" are another.

  Xu Xin still wants to keep looking.

  In the morning, Xu Xin also saw Liu Zhishi and Tang Yan.

  Liu Zhishi had nothing to say.

  Xu Xin announced on the spot after watching her performance:

"Shishi, perform well in the next round. For the role of Jingqiu, you have to dig deeper and not be too superficial...I suggest you go back and ask your uncles and aunts what impression they have of girls from that era. Next time It's an audition with makeup on, come on."

  She was promoted directly.

   Moreover, no matter in front of Zhang Yimou or other people, he is showing his "preference".

   Or favoritism.

   This is the wife's friend and the witness of their love.

  Regardless of any role, as long as she comes to the audition, she will always enter the final round.

  Whether you choose or not, you have to look good.

not to mention…

   She is indeed beautiful.

  There is a very strong bookish atmosphere on him.

  This is something that Jing Tian doesn't have.

  He also needs Liu Zhishi for reference.

   Then, he met the American air models who came in a group.

   Also includes the little girl named Nazha.

  Facts have proved that no matter how Hu Guang is ensuring that these models are professionally trained or otherwise...the professionalism is still a mess.

   None of them passed, and the whole army was wiped out.

On the contrary, Dou Yao, after being called by Zhang Yimou for an interview, felt pretty good facing the camera... In fact, his acting skills are also very weak, or in other words, this drama wants to conform to the appearance of the third child in the original book, in this age range Unless they find some unborn acting genius, most actors lack a lot of acting skills when they are 18 to 23 years old when Xu Xin is stuck to death.

  Many people are still ungraduated students.

  One of the difficulties of this drama for Xu Xin appeared here.

  It is different from "The Sound of the Wind", in which everyone gets a comfortable role, cooperates with each other, and uses their mature acting skills to complete the performance of this work.

  If "The Hawthorn Tree" really starts shooting...

  Xu Xin felt that what he needed to get done right away was not the sense of the camera or the picture, but the acting skills of the actors...

But.

   I have to admit, this Dou Yao, as long as he smiles...

  That neat set of teeth can easily give people a feeling of cleanliness.

Pretty good.

  The audition in the morning was over, and in the afternoon, Xu Xin saw Baozi and Lin Gou whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

   Baozi, Lin Gou, Yang Ying, Liu Yifei.

   These four people came in a group.

  By the way, there is also a "non-staff" Zhang Jiao.

  Yang Ying was directly passed by Xu Xin.

  Her beauty is too artificial.

   Also too modern.

  If he is not from his own company, he will definitely not consider it.

  But at any rate, I have to save face.

   Baozi's acting skill improvement is not that big, but it belongs to the kind of steady improvement with small changes after a period of time.

  But unfortunately...

   I don't know if it is caused by subjective factors.

  When she saw her walk in with braids again, Xu Xin suddenly remembered the shofar braids that this girl wore when she visited Liang Bingning in Hengdian last time.

  That appearance really affected him too much.

   Can't get out for a long time.

  So, she is not suitable for Jingqiu.

   Not that charming.

   But it was Lin Gou who really surprised him.

   Xu Xin didn't ask much about the movie "Legend of the Wind" in the factory.

   He hasn't finished his studies at Jialingou's side, so he hasn't seen him very much in the past few months, but we occasionally play games together.

   But who is serious about talking about work when playing games?

   If you want to say that you have been gank, then go down the tower, call your teammates for support, and make sure that four TPs light up.

But if you make up the knife on the other side and say "Old Xu, what about the role I'm playing now", whether Xu Xin is in the mood to deal with it or not, Yang Mi's Shadow Demon must be twisting his waist when passing by you, Divide your experience, and grab your **** line with two cannons.

  Playing a game can’t stop your mouth.

  You talk too much!

   But seeing Lin Gou this time, Xu Xin realized that... his compatibility with the role of the third child is no worse than that of the buddy named Dou Yao.

  If Dou Yao wins in his small white teeth, then Lin Gou wins in facial features.

  Because of "Legend of the Wind", he cut off the long hair that was still a bit childish and non-mainstream, and replaced it with a clean and short hair.

  And from the forehead to the cheekbones, to the bridge of the nose, to the chin... the tough facial features were combined with the third child from a "military family" in the original book.

  Especially the side face.

   Quite quite good.

  Xu Xin was really surprised this time.

   I missed it before.

   Once the hair is cut, the whole person becomes "hard".

  Should be shortened.

   No way, brother is getting hard!

  In the scene with the audition, he also played very well.

  After the end, even Zhang Yimou also spoke, saying:

   "He is very good, he looks like the third child."

"Um."

  Xu Xin nodded, and put his information into the promotion basket of the "oldest third".

   Then, the appearance of Liu Yifei immediately made everyone, including Xu Xin, entangled.

  In fact, in the original concept...

  Liu Yifei was indeed taken into Xu Xin's consideration.

   But after thinking twice, he didn't include the opponent as the first candidate target.

  Because...not to mention ordinary people, even Xu Xin herself has the deepest impression of her when she was in the age of the fairy sister.

But when she was wearing braids, took off her down jacket, and was wearing that... I don’t know where I got a floral long-sleeved small plaid shirt, khaki worker’s blue pants, and a pair of pull-back sneakers on her feet. with...

  After she introduced herself, everyone fell into a vicious circle of scrutiny and silence.

  A very intuitive comparison.

   If we talk about Jing Tian's internal charm, it is the little girlishness under the big frame.

  Felling at the big eyes, the eyebrows like willow leaves, and the unique temperament that is very rich in "blessing".

   What Liu Yifei's body highlights is the pure Three Mile Bay.

  The pull-back shoes don’t look new, but have a very old-fashioned yellow texture.

   And that style looks like an old shoe.

It can be seen that the owner of this pair of shoes must have cherished this pair of shoes, even though the white corners of it have begun to turn yellow, but the cleanliness from the inside to the outside still expresses the state of this pair of shoes Seems pretty good.

  The worker’s blue khaki trousers are also very retro…or they look like they were taken from a worker’s family in a state-owned factory.

  With the kind of mottled years of three years old, three years old, and three years of mending.

  The most important thing is that because of the unfit size, the wide trousers perfectly concealed her legs that are currently in the process of slimming down.

   Can't see thick.

   On the contrary, because her legs were a bit thick, she lifted up the thick trousers a little.

  Especially in the area of ​​the two thighs, you can feel the roundness of the legs inside the trousers through the outline of the khaki.

The floral dress on the upper body is in the conservative style of the 1970s, matched with the standard collar of the shirt, which clearly separates the dividing line between the clothes and the body on both sides of the neckline, highlighting her slender neck, and even without makeup. Looks especially fair skin.

   Moreover, because the style of this shirt is a women's small floral plaid shirt, its overall shape is a rustic shape with a narrow top and a wide bottom.

  But it was this rusticity that made her **** look so big.

  Although it is not clear whether there is anything cushioned inside.

  But...behind that kind of rusticity, there is a sense of conjecture and curious desire, which is immediately highlighted.

  The feeling of wanting to hide, but unable to hide...

   There was an instant contrast with Jing Tian's feeling of "only face wins".

   But to really say that the loser was her face.

  Her face doesn't have that round skinny beauty.

  Small appearance is perfect.

  But for some reason, there is a tired feeling of dark circles under the eyes.

   It's like I haven't had a good rest for a few days.

  If you really compare...

   Compared with Jing Tian's feeling of being full of blessings, it is a little worse.

   It is still worse than "Xian".

   Xu Xin looked uncomfortable.

   It's really evil.

   Such a good-looking girl, why is she trapped in the "fairy" and can't get out?

  But at this moment, Zhang Yimou suddenly said:

   "Without makeup?"

  Liu Yifei nodded:

   "Well, no. Just rub some skin care products."

   "..."

   "..."

   "..."

  Her answer made everyone else look... weird.

   All the actors who auditioned for the past two days wore makeup.

   This one is good, she appeared on camera without makeup.

  The most important thing is that Su Yan can still fight like this.

  You are really too much...

   Then, Zhang Yimou asked again:

   "Are you deliberately maintaining this shoulder condition?"

   Following his words, everyone looked over her shoulder again.

   But Liu Yifei shook his head:

   "No, I was born with this kind of sloping shoulders. Even if I work out, I can't make myself look strong."

   Following her explanation, everyone found out what Zhang Yimou was focusing on.

   It turned out to be the shoulder of this dress, which is a little too empty.

   She looks very thin.

  Xu Xin's eyes flashed with amazement.

   No wonder people keep saying that she has thick legs.

   On the one hand, her legs are indeed thick, but they are definitely not too thick.

   but her shoulders.

  The sloping shoulders make her upper body look particularly thin. And this thin contrast magnifies the shortcomings of her lower limbs.

   In other words, maybe Yang Mi will never be able to cultivate that kind of fortress figure with a thin upper body and a thicker lower body... But Liu Yifei seems to just work hard... that's it?

  The old man is really amazing.

   There was a feeling of emotion in his heart.

   The angle of looking at people is too vicious.

   You have to study hard.

   Zhang Yimou chatted a few words here, and after seeing Xu Xin not saying a word, he said:

   "Get ready for the audition."

"OK."

  Liu Yifei responded, walked to Sun Liwen and took a note.

  "Jingqiu and her classmate Wei Hong were walking in the school when they suddenly saw their mother who had been labeled as a "Leftist" being reprimanded. Jingqiu didn't dare to walk over, only dared to peek from a distance."

  Xing Xu noticed that Director Zhang and Director Xu had different attitudes towards Liu Yifei, so he took the initiative to say:

   "Speak up and start when you're ready."

   There is no specified time.

"Thanks."

  Liu Yifei thanked politely, then stood on the spot holding the note and began to meditate.

   But not for long.

   That’s about a minute or two.

   Then, she stepped back to the base of the wall opposite the crowd, took a deep breath, and nodded:

   "I'm starting."

  No one spoke, she lowered her head, looked at the note in her hand, and took the first step.

   Her steps are small and reserved.

   And when walking, he keeps his chest in his mouth.

  The clothes he was wearing were too big, and when he walked with his chest in his mouth, his sense of inferiority suddenly rushed towards several people.

  Xu Xin narrowed his eyes.

   In the second step, instead of bowing her head, she raised her head, turned her head to glance at the air beside her, and then nodded slightly. It seems to be chatting with classmates.

  The feeling of "Three Mile Bay" is fleeting.

   Then, in the third step, she showed a bright smile to the side air, as if the two of them were talking about some happy topic.

   This smiling face immediately dispelled her low self-esteem.

   But at the fourth step, she lowered her head again, looking at the note in her hand.

  The whole person became that inferiority complex again.

   Very natural.

   And at the fifth step, suddenly, she stopped.

  At this moment, she was less than two steps away from where Xu Xin and the others were sitting.

   The distance is very close.

   After pausing, she glanced to her left hand, as if she saw something, she quickly took another half step back.

   Then the whole person made a probe movement.

   Probe, look left.

   is peeping somewhere.

   After taking a look, she looked away again.

  Everyone sitting opposite her could feel a tangled emotion from the corners of her pursed mouth.

   It seems to be saying: Do I want to continue watching?

  But immediately she made up her mind to spy again.

Then…

   Similarly, the eyes began to blink without blinking.

   After about five or six seconds, her eye circles began to turn red rapidly, and tears were already rolling in her eye sockets.

   But Xu Xin nodded slightly.

  The gap is pulled out.

  It's different from Jing Tian's abrupt physiological discomfort in her eyes.

   While the method is the same, her time is shorter.

  In fact, ordinary people can also try it out. It takes at least 40 seconds to a minute without blinking continuously before the eyes feel uncomfortable and start to ache and cry.

   Liu Yifei's ability to make tears well up in his eye sockets within five or six seconds must be due to emotion rather than physiology.

   Moreover, what is commendable is that her entire performance, whether it is expression control or others, is above the average.

   Even the control of some details is excellent.

  Really speaking, Jing Tian is more like a smaller version of Liu Yifei.

   Also know how to use your brain and use methods.

   But the experience is still too shallow.

   "Okay, that's it."

   He took the initiative to stop the performance, and he looked at his friend who wiped away tears with the back of his hand:

   "It feels like you are more prepared this time than last time in "The Wind"?"

   "After chatting with Mimi last time, I started to make more detailed preparations when I went back. Including this suit, I also took it from my grandma, the clothes at the bottom of the box."

  Liu Yifei nodded, smiled and pointed to her eyes:

   "What I'm most worried about is that the dark circles under my eyes are very heavy, but fortunately, although I stayed up late last night, I didn't make it this morning, so I went back to make up for it."

   And her smile...

  The gum problem was exposed again.

   But this is where you said it was strange.

  As the saying goes, everyone has the love of beauty.

  Especially for artists... Or to put it bluntly, for female artists, their facial defects can easily become their own shortcomings, and they must be used to cover up.

  Including my own sister is the same.

  My elder sister’s facial features are in the occlusal muscles and mandible on both sides.

  She has a physique that does not allow her to gain weight, but if she is too thin, when she raises her face slightly, the occlusal muscles and mandible will make her face appear angular.

   Therefore, whether she is taking pictures or maintaining various poses, she is not very good at exposing to the camera from a "looking up" angle.

  Even if it’s a selfie, the mobile phone is raised high, tilted at 45 degrees, and one’s mandible is “hidden”.

   Even thought of cutting the bone for a while.

   Xu Xin hurriedly stopped him.

   Anyway... everyone tries to hide flaws.

   Especially female artists.

  But...Xu Xin has never seen it, and I have never heard Liu Yifei say that she is dissatisfied with her teeth and gums and wants to have some repairs.

  When you should be happy, just laugh.

  Gums are gums.

  Although she has never personally acknowledged her, Xu Xin suddenly admires her open-mindedness when she sees the fairy sister who is not shy about her appearance flaws and is happy with him there...

  Thinking of this, he said:

   "It can be seen that this character really puts his heart into it. But... to be honest, that kind of obsequiousness is still a little less. If it is possible, in the next round, let me see that concealed obsequiousness, how about it?"

"…good."

   Silently recorded Xu Xin's words, she nodded:

   "I'll go back and communicate with the acting teacher."

   "...Well, see you in the second round. Go back and have a good rest, come on."

   "Okay... Thank you directors, goodbye."

  Bowing politely, she left the audition hall.

   After she left, several people looked at each other. Xu Xin asked Zhang Yimou:

   "What do you think?"

   "..."

  Zhang Yimou didn't speak, just like doing eye exercises, leaning on the table with his arms, rubbing his two thumbs between his eyebrows.

   Close your eyes and meditate.

  Seeing that everyone was silent, Qi Lei said:

  “From a marketing point of view, she can definitely be one of the box office appeals. And… the “pure” feeling in her is very rare for me.”

   After he finished speaking, Wang Lei shook his head slightly:

   "The most important thing is how to get rid of the inherent impression of the audience. It may be due to personal reasons, but when I saw her, it was clear that her performance was qualified, but I still couldn't bring myself into it."

   "The inherent impression of the audience, this has always been the biggest shackles restricting her development. There is no way... Her debut starting point is too high."

"But as far as this performance is concerned, I personally think that she has revealed all the characteristics that Jingqiu needs to show. However, I must also say that Jingqiu can not only rely on acting, but also be able to perform. .The actor named Jing Tian... is the one who impressed me the most. Even Liu Yifei is not as good as her."

   "Jing Tian's beauty lies in the bones, not in the skin. As for Liu Yifei's beauty, Liu Yifei is the most beautiful, not Jing Qiu. This is my opinion."

"There is nothing to criticize in terms of acting skills, but... I think this movie needs a more pure feeling. We want to give the audience a sense of pure innocence. To put it bluntly, the stranger Jing Qiu's face is to the audience, the better .”

   "If I were to choose by myself, I would choose Liu Yifei. The sense of age can be made up for through the lens and director Xu's creation techniques. Jing Tian's acting disadvantages need too much effort to make up for."

  Everyone started to fall into the discussion with each other.

   But Xu Xin and Zhang Yimou did not speak.

   After chatting for two or three minutes, Zhang Yimou finally said:

   "Each has its own merits."

   This is his opinion.

   After expressing clearly, he looked at Xu Xin again:

"If I were me, I might be inclined to Jing Tian... Although the smell on her body is lacking in my cognition. What I want to see is a more simple feeling. I have both Jing Tian and her. Can't find it."

"I see."

  Xu Xin nodded.

  What the old man has always wanted to find is that kind of girl who is innocent and innocent.

  That was his memory of that era.

   But in the same way, for me, what the old man is looking for is not a girl named "Jing Qiu".

   It was what he was looking for...a kind of memory symbol in that era.

   This is the most "conflicting" place between the two.

   But.

   In the end, it is myself who makes up my mind.

  He thought for a while...and said:

   "In my impression, I prefer Jing Tian. But in terms of acting skills... I am very satisfied with her performance... Let's see again, there is a second round of makeup. How about it?"

  The big directors have spoken, and the others have no opinion.

  The meaning in this film studio itself is that what Director Xu says, then how to do it.

  Qi Lei raised his head to the staff guarding the door:

"Next."

  …

  Around 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the next day's audition ended.

  After the audition, Zhang Jiao, who took Director Xu's suit and sat in the Volvo, saw Xu Xin driving away, and hurriedly asked:

   "Hello, Sister Mo... are you waiting for Director Zhang? Brother Xu."

   "Director Zhang left first."

"oh oh…"

   After answering, she carefully hung the suit on the upper armrest in the back row. She glanced at Zhang Mo sitting in the co-pilot, thought for a while, and asked tentatively:

   "Afternoon...how am I doing?"

   "It's improved compared to before, but it's still far behind. Let's see if there are any roles for you in this play. Come a little bit."

  Hearing what he said, Zhang Jiao didn't feel disappointed.

  Since she started to study systematically, she also knows how far behind she is.

  So I'm not sad, but rather fortunate.

   Glad it's not too late.

  Especially after communicating with Baozi...

   After driving the car on the road, Xu Xin said to Zhang Mo who was in the co-pilot next to him:

"Sister Mo, in the next two days, I will make a list, which is full of work content. I will go back to make the full moon wine in a few days, and you will come and do it yourself in terms of Fuhua Dao and scene selection. Look. Everything has to be implemented..."

"I know."

  Zhang Mo nodded:

   "Just leave it to me."

  …

   In today's press conference, Yanjing TV really took pride in it.

  Prime time at 8:00 p.m. to live stream.

   Of course, it is not ruled out that it is Zhang Weiping's PR.

  In short, as Zhang Yimou's first work after the Olympics, "Three Guns" has been stared at by countless pairs of eyes since the day the filming started.

   And there are quite a few guests present today.

  In addition to Xu Xin, many celebrities were also invited.

   And strictly speaking, this is the first time for Xu Xin to come to Yanjing TV, and everything is quite new.

  He didn't go backstage.

   After all, I just came as a guest.

  Stay backstage with the crew...no need.

  Zhang Mo went, after all, many people will come backstage today to say hello to Zhang Yimou.

   But he doesn't.

  Our old Xu is notoriously disliked by dogs in the Beijing circle, why join in the fun?

  At around 7:30, seeing that it was almost time, Xu Xin got out of the car and planned to enter the venue.

  While he was walking into the recording studio, the lights of the car shone behind him, and he and Zhang Jiao surpassed him and Zhang Jiao in just a few breaths.

  He looked up and was taken aback.

  A special license plate with a white background came into view.

   Quite a surprise.

  But after just taking a look, he wrapped himself in a down jacket and continued walking forward.

  The commercial vehicle also stopped at the door, waited for the guests to get off, and then drove away slowly.

  Four women appeared where the car left.

  The two ordinary-dressed girls seemed to be assistants, standing beside them with bags in their hands.

  The other two women were wearing thick clothes, and judging from the corners of the skirts exposed under the clothes, they should also be guests who came to participate.

   Moreover, the two women are staring at this side.

  Xu Xin paused...

   Is this directed at yourself?

  He narrowed his eyes involuntarily, trying to see who was coming.

   But it's dark now, so I really can't see clearly.

  Only one of the two can be seen with long hair and a...big red flower on the side of his head.

  The corner of Xu Xin's mouth twitched when he was dressed up...

   Very gaudy.

   After walking in, with the help of the light, he finally saw the two clearly.

  The old ladies...not right.

  Two big sisters.

  Aged at least 35+.

  The law lines are all out.

   And when he looked at these two people, they also stared at him with bright eyes.

   Xu Xin unconsciously got goosebumps when he saw the light.

   Is this going to eat me alive?

  I was thinking about it, and beside the big red flower, the hair was a little short... let's say she was a woman with undiminished charm, standing there, smiling and calling out Xu Xin's name:

   "Xu Xin, hello."

   "..."

   Both Xu Xin and Zhang Jiao paused.

   Then, a polite smile appeared on his face:

"Hello."

   As soon as the words fell, he saw the other party take a step forward and stretch out his hand at the same time.

  Thinking about it... Although he was reluctant, he still went forward.

   held hands up.

   "Forgive my poor eyesight..."

  Feeling that the other party didn't let go of his hand, Xu Xin, who couldn't move his hand for a while, tentatively wanted the other party to reveal his identity.

  Then, seeing this... the big sister held his hand, and said in a...very warm tone:

   "I'm Zhao Xinyu."

   "..."

   Zhao Xinyu?

  Who?

do not know.

  No matter how much I think about it, Xu Xin nods politely:

   "Sister Zhao, hello."

   Then he took the initiative to withdraw his hand.

  The opponent's hand was quite hot.

  But the way he was held was called goosebumps flying around.

   And just as he withdrew his hand, the woman with the big red flower on her hair also extended her hand:

   "Xu Xin, hello. I'm Yang Erche Namu."

  Yang...what the hell?

  Looking at the eyes of this old woman with a wide nose and wide mouth staring at him as if she was looking at a plate of meat, Xu Xin was speechless for a while.

   These two old ladies who seem to be able to **** dirt while sitting on the floor... Where did they come from?

   A little puzzlement flashed through his mind.

  But at this moment, this woman named Zhao Xinyu suddenly said:

   "You can't call me sister Zhao, you have to call me Aunt Zhao."

   "...?"

  Xu Xin was taken aback.
