I became popular in the entertainment industry by studying medicine

Early the next morning, Lin Zhu came to the company.

Xue Ning sat in his small office, dug out a copy from a stack of documents, and handed it to Lin Zhu: "I just found some documents and typed them out for you, you should prepare well, I'll see you in an hour Come with you."

Lin Zhu nodded: "Understood."

After speaking, he went to the lounge and looked through the information Xue Ning had given him.

Last night, before Lin Zhu received the news of the interview, Xue Ning's news popped up again, telling him that Director Li Zheng had asked for an interview the next day, and that Lin Zhu had not left anything to do with "" "Guanshanyuan delivery" related information.

After talking with Xue Ning, Lin Zhu and Xue Ning found out that the cast of "Guan Shan Yuan Di" has been cast since the beginning of the year. Now the cast has been roughly confirmed, and there is only one supporting role that appears in the first third of the script, which is still undecided. .

It's not because no one is willing to play this supporting role. On the contrary, this supporting role is extremely sought-after. When Li Zhengda cast the net to audition for the supporting role, most of the actors in the circle with free schedule and suitable appearance participated in the selection.

This extremely sought-after supporting role is named Gu Yi, and he is the son of the prime minister who received a lunch box when he appeared on the stage.

Although Gu Yi has a villain father, he can distinguish right from wrong and be upright. Knowing that his father was beheaded because of the protagonist's report, when faced with the protagonist being framed, he still chose to help the protagonist without hesitation. die.

Such a role that is both good and evil is undoubtedly pleasing, so it has attracted so many actors to participate in the election.

However, the character of this character is complex, requiring actors to be able to accurately interpret Gu Yi's entanglement in trying to find a balance between revenge for his father and assisting the protagonist, which is a test of acting skills.

And because of the high difficulty of interpreting this role, director Li Zheng, who is demanding in everything, will conduct round after round of interviews for the candidates.

Auditions, primary selections, repeated re-elections, Director Li Zheng finally selected three actors from the initial hundreds of candidates, and the final selection interview will be held today.

It was probably Lin Zhu's outstanding performance in Taigong that attracted Li Zheng's attention, so he contacted Xue Ning and asked Lin Zhu to go directly to the film crew of "Guanshan Faraway" in the film and television city at ten o'clock this morning if he wanted to. After a lot of selection, the three candidate actors who stood out from the crowd participated in the final round of interviews to compete for the role of Gu Yi.

The invitation came unexpectedly and at a tricky time. If Xue Ning hadn't been a night owl, he probably wouldn't have seen the news until this morning.

Based on this, Xue Ning speculated that Li Zheng might have been surfing the Internet late at night and accidentally saw Lin Zhu's performance in Taigong. He felt that Lin Zhu might be suitable for the role of Gu Yi, so he suddenly sent out an interview invitation.

An hour later, Xue Ning knocked on the door of the lounge, signaling Lin Zhu to leave.

On the way to the film and television city, Xue Ning asked Lin Zhu: "How do you feel after reading the materials? Are you sure you can win this role?"

Lin Zhu shook his head: "It's hard to say."

Since Li Zheng didn't leave the film and television drama information for Lin Zhu, it means that the crew is still in the confidential stage, and Xue Ning naturally couldn't find any script content that would be of substantial help.

Therefore, I can only find the outline of the prototype novel of the same name and the setting of the main characters of "Guan Shan Yuan Di" on the Internet, so that Lin Zhu can have a general understanding of the character and his background that he is going to interview.

And these materials are too vague for Lin Zhu who has never read the original novel. After reading it over and over again for an hour, he got very little information, which is not enough to build a flesh and blood character image.

Xue Ning comforted Lin Zhu: "It's okay, just have a general impression. According to Li Zheng's style, most of the interviews are impromptu performances with impromptu questions. Just do it."

Lin Zhu nodded and asked Xue Ning: "Who are the three actors who entered the final round of interviews?"

Xue Ning: "I made some inquiries, it should be Fang Han, Xia Tian and Yan He."

Xue Ning said, turned on the phone and searched for Fang Han's basic information, and handed it to Lin Zhu:

"Fang Han was born as a child star. He debuted for more than ten years. He has rich acting experience and his acting skills are always online. However, he seems to have encountered a bottleneck in the past two years. The roles he played are too routine, and his understanding of the characters may be a bit one-sided."

Xue Ning waited for Lin Zhu to finish reading, took the mobile phone and searched for Xia Tian, ​​handed it to him, and said:

"Xiamen has had a great momentum in the past two years. At the beginning, it became popular with a sweet youth drama on campus. After that, the dramas he took on have been unable to get rid of the label of warm men. The roles are somewhat limited. This time, he is running for the election, which means a transformation. His acting skills are outstanding. It’s not particularly good, it’s a bit worse than Fang Han’s, but the advantage lies in its strong comprehension and its precise grasp of the characters.”

After finishing speaking, Xue Ning took the phone again and searched for Yan He:

"As for Yan He, he has acted in quite a few plays, but he has always been lukewarm. He has always been in the male second and male third lines. That's probably what got me through the final round of interviews."

"Although these three people all have weaknesses, and their overall strength is not particularly good, they also have their own strengths. You can't underestimate the enemy.

"Furthermore, the three of them worked so hard to get into the final round of interviews, but Li Zheng inserted you in with a single word. Although this is a godsend for you, Li Zheng will definitely not just because you are his 'special recruit' Those who come in will be partial, but they will feel somewhat uncomfortable in their hearts.

"If you are targeted and ridiculed at that time, don't worry about it, just play normally."

Lin Zhu nodded: "I understand."

……

When Lin Zhu arrived at the interview room of the production crew of "Guan Shan Far Away" in the film and television city, the other three actors had already arrived. Li Zhengduan sat behind the table in front of the three of them, looking down at the materials without getting angry, and the huge interview room was completely silent.

Lin Zhu settled down, knocked on the door, a little nervous: "Hi everyone, I'm Lin Zhu."

Hearing this, Li Zheng looked up at Lin Zhu, motioned him to come in and stand with the other three, and introduced:

"This is Lin Zhu. You should know him if you have read the lines. Today he will participate in the final round interview with you."

It was a temporary decision by Li Zheng to let Lin Zhu come to the interview. Judging from the expressions of the three actors, they probably didn't know about it, and they were a little surprised for a while.

After a while, Yan He, who was standing on the innermost side, was the first to question:

"Director, isn't this fair? The three of us were screened out from auditions and interviews round after round. Wouldn't it be inappropriate for you to add one person with such a sentence?"

Hearing this, Lin Zhu sighed quietly in his heart.

Xue Ning's guess was right, his skyfall really made the other interviewers feel uncomfortable.

Li Zheng pulled his face down and said, "Since you decided to come to me for an interview, there is no need to talk about fairness with me. With me, there are only qualified and unqualified, suitable and inappropriate. If you feel wronged, you are willing to give up this interview." Get out when you get the chance."

Li Zheng's temper is well-known in the circle. When choosing an actor, he has always only considered whether he is suitable for the role. Others such as traffic and background are not considered.

Even if it is a large-scale audition like this time, even if the actors selected for the final round of interviews have been confirmed, once they find out that there is a more suitable candidate in the middle, they will still overturn the previous work without hesitation.

It is understandable for a director who is so demanding on all aspects of filming to do so; and for an actor who has finally made it to the final round of interviews, it is normal to be indignant when he encounters such a sudden stop.

Only Lin Zhu was embarrassed.

Even Xia Tian, ​​who has always been gentle, echoed Yan He:

"Director, if Lin Zhu participated in the final round of interviews based on his strength, we would naturally not have any objections to him, but it would be biased for you to directly let him enter the final rounds like this."

Li Zheng asked sharply: "What? I have been directing dramas for more than [-] years, can't I still judge whether a person has the strength to enter this final round of interviews? Have you seen Lin Zhu's performance in lines? Fang Han's lines skills Not necessarily as profound as him!

"Didn't participate in the audition... If he has participated in the audition since the audition, and got three in the final round of interviews, do you think the three of you can still stand in this interview room?"

Lin Zhu: "..."

He coughed lightly, and said awkwardly: "Director, the three teachers, maybe... If you have any disputes about my strength, I can prove it to you on the spot."

Li Zheng paused after hearing the words, thought for a while, and probably didn't directly find out the Taigong video to prove that Lin Zhu was indeed capable of entering the final round of interviews, so he went along with Lin Zhu's initiative and said:

"Okay. Let Fang Han and the others write questions for you, just let me see how you are in other aspects besides your line skills."

The other three actors who stood up and took the initiative were naturally happy to do this, and they all nodded in agreement.

After the three of them discussed together for a while, Yan He said:

"Lin Zhu, since the director thinks you have some strength, then we will treat you as an ordinary actor who has successfully passed the audition and primary selection. We will take the first round of re-examination and the second round of re-examination, and the director will give it to us. I’m here to let you try it out, you probably haven’t read it, have you?”

Lin Zhu shook his head: "No."

The crew did a good job of keeping secrets. Lin Zhu didn't even know that there were two rounds of re-examinations.

So Xia Tian took out a paperclip document from the bag he carried with him, the corners had been turned up a little, and it could be seen that the user had put a lot of effort into it.

Xia Tian took off the paper clip, picked out one of the pages, flipped it over, turned the blank side up, handed it to Lin Zhu, and said:

"This is the content of a round of re-examination. We only had 10 minutes to prepare and perform, and so did you. Yan He, prepare the timer."

After Yan He turned on the timer on his mobile phone, Lin Zhu corrected the information and read it intently.

The information is a photo. I don’t know if it’s because the quality of the printer’s ink is poor or the camera equipment is not high-resolution. The whole photo doesn’t look very clear.

Fortunately, it does not hinder the observation of the general content.

All I saw in the photo was a small shed built on the farmland, not far away were green trees everywhere.

There were five people under the shed, two men and three women were sitting on the floor, two men were shirtless, and their clothes were hanging aside; while the three women were wearing simple clothes that could even be called shabby, their long coiled hair was a little messy, and the freshly removed Hats are placed randomly.

Five people are eating box lunch.

The two men buried their heads in silence, more than half of the food in the lunch box had gone; among the three women, two were chatting while eating, their expressions couldn't be seen clearly, and they didn't know what they were talking about, while the other woman held Talking on the mobile phone, with legs bent and opened, the lunch box is placed on the ground in front of me, and the free hand is holding the chopsticks to pick up the chicken legs in the box lunch and put it on the lid of the box lunch.

Below the photo is a line of two-point bold font:

[Observe the photos, choose a person from them, figure out Ta's psychological activities, construct the plot by yourself or directly refer to the photos to interpret the character. 】

Lin Zhu held his breath and raced to think, the four people in the interview room also kept silent, consciously creating a quiet environment for Lin Zhu to think.

Fang Han stared at Lin Zhu intently, observing his expression and detailed movements, trying to predict Lin Zhu's feelings about this topic.

During the round of re-examination, Fang Han got this question for the first time. Although he has more than ten years of acting experience, he was still at a loss for a minute or two. He looked at the photos for a long time and had no idea——

The clarity of the photos is really not enough, and the ability to observe "details" cultivated over the years has nowhere to start.

But Fang Han couldn't see the slightest panic in Lin Zhu's eyes.

It seemed that as soon as he read the information and glanced at the photos, his eyes gradually calmed down.

Fang Han guessed that Lin Zhu had already begun to think.

Fang Han pursed his lips slightly nervously.

If his guess is correct, then Lin Zhu's observation ability is too strong.

The timer showed that there were 6 minutes left, and Lin Zhu put the materials on the table, indicating that it was time for his performance.

The other three actors subconsciously took two steps back to make room for Lin Zhu to perform.

Then Lin Zhu took out the mobile phone from his pocket without saying a word, sat down directly on the ground, held the mobile phone close to his ear in one hand, and stretched out a pair of chopsticks in the other hand towards the ground in front of him, and started his conversation. performance.

Seeing Lin Zhu's posture, the other three people in the interview room were a little surprised.

Because of gender factors, when they chose characters to play, they all chose two shirtless men, but looking at Lin Zhu's series of actions, it seems... to play the woman who made the phone call?

Lin Zhu over there has already started talking, his brows are slightly furrowed, and he unconsciously puts the chicken legs on the lid of the lunch box in slow motion, then stops the hand holding the chopsticks, and taps on the lid of the lunch box:

"Did you get all your luggage ready? Did you take the bag of fruit from the refrigerator... Did you collect the clothes that were washed for you in the yard yesterday? Did you do it? If you don't do it, remember to pack it in a plastic bag first. Pack your suitcase...

"Oh yes! I made herbal tea for you last night. It's in the kettle in the kitchen. Remember to put some in your water glass... Hey, it's good for you to drink more in summer...

"Me? I'm eating... Where else can I be, in a shed in the field...

"Okay, okay, that's it, pay attention to safety on the road!"

Putting down the phone, the "peasant woman" had a flash of loneliness on her face, and then suddenly reacted, with a puzzled look on her face, she turned to the side and asked "what", then turned her ears, as if listening to other people's inquiries, With a final grin, he said:

"My daughter-in-law is going back to school today! We won't see each other for another month, so I called her to ask her how her luggage is going...

"What? Chicken legs..."

The "peasant woman" turned her head to look at her lunch box, and saw that the chicken leg had been caught by herself on the lid of the lunch box, she smiled "puchi":

"Hi! My daughter loves to eat leg meat, but every time she wants to save it for me to eat, so every time I buy chicken and duck at home, I have to hurry up and put the leg meat in her bowl... For some reason, let me make a phone call That's all, why did I still have a conditioned reflex..."

In the last few words, the "peasant woman" spoke more and more quietly, staring down at the ground, and finally lost her voice gradually, leaving only a sigh of frustration, as if she couldn't stop sighing.

This is the end of Lin Zhu's home game.

Fang Han's eyes were moist, obviously infected by Lin Zhu's performance.

His Adam's apple moved up and down, he opened his mouth but didn't say anything, he just thought silently in his heart that he probably didn't have a chance with the role of Gu Yi.
