Fight to the top again [Entertainment]

Two days after Christmas Eve, the audition meeting for Tan Hong's new film finally kicked off.

When Su Mo stepped into the waiting hall, many people had already gathered there.Jiang Jiang followed behind him and introduced them one by one in a low voice.

As expected of Director Tan, Su Mo couldn't help admiring while listening.Almost all the actors of the younger generation gathered here, the newcomers promoted by several big companies, the young actors who were born as child stars, and even the juniors of several theater troupes gathered here.

To exaggerate, if a □□ falls here today, it can destroy most of the future of the Chinese film industry.

"Su Mo." Wang Wangchuan walked out of the crowd, and Su Mo saw the young man behind him at a glance.The young man had a concise demeanor, wearing a pair of rimless glasses, and followed Wang Wangchuan step by step.

"Teacher Wang." Su Mo also greeted him.

There is only one role auditioned today, and that is the young Lin Qing.Wang Wangchuan is definitely pretending to be tender if he dares to act, so the purpose of his coming can only be for the boy behind him.

The juniors of the troupe?Su Mo guessed.

The facts are exactly as Su Mo guessed.Wang Wangchuan immediately introduced the young man behind him, "My apprentice, Zhao Yi."

"Hello, Teacher Su." Zhao Yi stretched out his hand meticulously, and called Su Mo with respect.

"Hi, just call me Su Mo." Su Mo said, "Teacher Wang has brought me a strong opponent!" Su Mo looked at Wang Wangchuan with a smile again.

"It seems that you are very confident in this audition." Wang Wangchuan said.

"I am very much looking forward to the cooperation with Director Tan." Su Mo said.

Standing behind Su Mo, Jiang Jiang clearly felt the fighting spirit emerging from Su Mo, and Wang Wangchuan did not show any weakness.

Before the two of them finished talking, the door of the audition hall opened, and Yuan Zheng walked out from inside.His manager, Qiao Shan, greeted him quickly: "How is it?"

Yuan Zheng shook his head, his face pale.

"How could this happen?" Qiao Shan's brows were tangled, and he lowered his voice and said quickly, "Didn't I hire you a teacher? How is it possible?"

"Why do you still need an audition if the teacher is useful?" Yuan Zheng had just been eliminated, and now he was in a bad mood. This time, in order to prepare for the audition, Qiao Shan privately found a professor from the acting department for him to personally guide him, and even made up for it. A bunch of films directed by Tan Hong made Yuan Zheng want to vomit.

Such high-intensity special training almost exhausted all his energy, but it also made his acting skills improve by leaps and bounds.However, even with ultra-high-intensity targeted training, when it was actually shown on stage, it was still a bit off.

Yuan Zheng recalled the scene just now.

There are not many people in the audition room, the judges are only the director and the screenwriter, there are several assistants performing their duties, and a cameraman is responsible for filming all the audition clips.

Director Tan had clearly seen him before, but his expression was as kind and distant as looking at a stranger. He watched Yuan Zheng's performance seriously, and then told him plainly: Sorry, you are not suitable.

Inappropriate, Director Tan said so, but the screenwriter Lin Sheng next to him had a different expression.

That ascetic face clearly said: Are you acting?Obviously the scene of a car accident!

Yuan Zheng couldn't be more shocked. He suppressed his anger and thanked the two, but he still had to face the manager's thoughts.When he came out, he saw that Su Mo had arrived, and Yuan Zheng glanced at him——Su Mo's calm posture looked like a provocation to him at the moment.

"Let's go." Qiao Shan pulled him to stop Yuan Zheng from provoking Su Mo, "Isn't it embarrassing enough to be brushed?" Qiao Shan lowered his voice, and he looked in Jiang Jiang's direction dimly. Take Yuan Zheng and escape from the waiting hall.

Following Yuan Zheng's departure, whispers resounded around him.This morning, no less than [-] young actors have been auditioned, and many of them have excellent image and acting skills in the eyes of onlookers, but they all received a rejection answer.

——No need to even think about it, all of them were rejected on the spot!

What kind of person is Director Tan looking for?The young students who were originally confident were faintly worried.Some people even began to speculate that Director Tan had already appointed an actor, and today's audition was just a cutscene, otherwise how could he have rejected it so simply?

The atmosphere became a little anxious, and someone was called in by the assistant. Everyone forgot about Yuan Zheng, and became concerned about the consequences of this person.

It's a good thing that they were all rejected, at least it proves that they still have a chance!Some people think so.

Not long after, the door of the audition hall was opened again, and everyone's eyes focused on it in unison, but they saw a smiling face.

"How is it?" The manager leaned forward and asked his artist.

"Director Tan said he would think about it." The boy said excitedly, he was the first person to get this result today!Although he is only considered, it is enough to prove that he is much better than the top 20 who were directly rejected!

"Great, we still have a chance." The agent was also relieved, at least they still had a chance.

"This is a rookie from A Entertainment. He was born as a child star, and he is very smart in acting." Jiang Jiang said in Su Mo's ear, "Don't be nervous. Director Tan just said that he will consider him. You still have a chance."

Su Mo was sitting not far from the gate of the audition room, and he could see the expression on the boy's face at a glance: "Brother Jiang, how many people are interviewing today?"

"Well... about forty or so." Jiang Jiang recalled.

"More than half of them have been rejected." Su Mo said, his voice was steady, without revealing the nervousness that Jiang Jiang was worried about, "If Director Tan doesn't want to return empty-handed, he must leave some backup options. "

"What do you mean?" Jiang Jiang looked at Su Mo in disbelief.His hands were already sweating from anxiety, but Su Mo still had the time to analyze the situation on the scene. This kind of calmness was indeed beyond the reach of ordinary rookie actors.

Even in the Mesozoic, there are very few such minds.

"The role of Lin Qing is very complicated. He is young, has deep childhood shadows, and is very smart at the same time. His behavior is weird and tricky. He will adopt stray kittens with kindness, and he will also blind the heroine's eyes cruelly. If If you only focus on showing his evil side in the performance, then such a character design will be meaningless, and the complexity of the character will be unsustainable." Su Mo analyzed in a low voice.

"Director Tan requires actors to be under the age of 23, but the complexity of the actual role has far exceeded the experience of this age!" Jiang Jiang immediately understood what Su Mo meant.

"Yes, most of the young actors now come from majors, and it may be difficult for them to understand the current situation of children who grew up in the slums." Su Mo said.

"Then you..." Jiang Jiang probably knew Su Mo's past. Although he was not from a major, his experience was not as rough as Lin Qing's.Even Su Mo was younger among these people, and was at a disadvantage in terms of experience.

Su Mo closed his eyes and didn't answer Jiang Jiang's words. He needed a little rest.

"Wang Wangchuan's apprentice has gone in." A quarter of an hour later, Jiang Jiang told Su Mo again.

Jiang Jiang has been completely immersed in the atmosphere here. After the first person to consider just now, a few more answers that will be considered.Judging from their resumes alone, these people are no better than some people who were directly rejected, which just verified Su Mo's conjecture: it's not because they are better, but because there are fewer and fewer choices.

In the audition hall, Director Tan glanced at the list again, more and more names were crossed out.

Some of these names did have good acting skills, but none of them reached the level he wanted.These young people are the outstanding ones who were born in the class, and some of them are child stars who made their debut, and their acting experience is only much more than that of many Mesozoic generations.But looking at the past with his harsh eyes, there are still too many traces of skill.

"Hi, teachers, I'm Zhao Yi." Zhao Yi, Wang Wangchuan's apprentice, stepped onto the stage and bowed to Tan Hong and Lin Sheng.

Lin Sheng had no expression on his face, and he answered by raising his hand.Tan Hong was as kind as ever, responded to him with a smile, and then let him start.

In the audition clip, Lin Qing caught the heroine and tried to stab her blind.

Zhao Yijiang took off his glasses and put them aside, and together with a female assistant, he finished the scene.

"What do you think?" Tan Hong whispered to Lin Sheng beside him.

Lin Sheng watched Zhao Yi's performance very seriously, "The acting skills are proficient, and the emotional expression at several levels is also in place. It is better than the others to be determined."

"Well, I think so too." Tan Hong said, "Although he still lacks comprehension, if he talks about the play before the official performance, he should be able to perform better."

"Is there anyone else?" Lin Sheng asked. He had been sitting here for a long time, and his whole body was stiff. This was more difficult than writing a script all day.

"There are a few more," Tan Hong browsed through the last few names, and said, "Su Mo, whom I met that day, is also here."

"Su Mo?" Lin Sheng frowned, "I don't like him very much."

……

Zhao Yi was refreshed when he came out.

"It's almost the same." He put on his glasses and said to Wang Wangchuan.

Seeing Zhao Yi's expression after he came out, Jiang Jiang's heart rose to his throat again.This guy doesn't seem to be blindly optimistic. Since he can say such a thing, Director Tan should be very satisfied with him.

"Brother Jiang, calm down." Su Mo comforted him.

Jiang Jiang's face froze, and he forced himself to regain his composure - he actually wanted a child to remind himself that all these years have been in vain.But Jiang Jiang was anxious!How many scripts did Su Mo push in order to wait for Director Tan's movie?If this battle cannot be won, he is likely to face a situation where there will be no drama to act in.

"Are you not in a hurry?" Jiang Jiang couldn't help asking, Su Mo's concentration is also really good, and he can still laugh at this moment!

"I'm the next one, what's there to worry about?" Su Mo smiled.

"I'm not talking about this, I'm..." When Jiang Jiang was interrupted by him, he didn't know what to do, so he decided to be a dead horse doctor, wait!We'll know after Su Mo's audition is over.

"Next, Su Mo." The assistant dutifully came out and announced Su Mo's name.

"Come on." Jiang Jiang patted him on the shoulder solemnly and said.

"Leave it to me." Su Mo gave him a confident smile.

The audition hall was not big and there were not many people. Lin Sheng went to nowhere, and only Tan Hong was sitting in the jury.

After Su Mo introduced himself, Tan Hong glanced at his watch. It had been almost 10 minutes, and Lin Sheng hadn't come back yet.After a candidate's performance just now, Lin Sheng left the audition hall with the excuse of convenience.Tan Hongben thought he was just going to smoke a cigarette to catch his breath, but he didn't expect to come back until now.

"Director Tan, do you want to start?" asked the assistant in charge of coordinating. Su Mo had been standing on the stage for a while, but Tan Hong didn't send any signal to start, and Lin Sheng didn't come back.

"Wait a minute." Tan Hong said, "I'm going to see Lin Sheng, I'm sorry." Tan Hong said the last two words to Su Mo, and after finishing speaking, he also left his seat and walked out.

The coordinator glanced at Su Mo sympathetically. The audition hadn't started yet, but the judges had left. I really don't know what could be more embarrassing than this.This Su Mo's self-cultivation skills are really good, and he can still laugh.The coordinator thought, and then she accidentally met Su Mo's eyes.

When she was found peeking at the other party, the coordinator's face immediately turned red, and she quickly lowered her head, but her neck was reluctant to move.

Su Mo was smiling, and when he met her eyes, he showed a warm and polite smile.

God, who can ignore such an angelic smile?The director and the screenwriter are too dishonest to leave such a cute boy here and ignore them!

"Su Mo, come and sit for a while." The coordinator boldly approached Su Mo, pointing to a chair not far away for the staff and said.

"Okay, thank you." Su Mo smiled politely again, fascinated all the little assistants around him.

"Su Mo, drink some water." Another assistant ran over boldly and handed Su Mo a bottle of mineral water.

Su Mo accepted all of them gently, and the assistants around became more courageous. Some even took out their notebooks and asked Su Mo for his autograph.

When Director Tan finally invited his screenwriter back, he saw several assistant girls surrounded Su Mo, all of them trembling with joy.

"Hmph." Seeing this scene, Lin Sheng snorted coldly and walked to his seat.

Director Tan had no choice but to clear his throat on purpose, "Let's start when Su Mo is ready."

The director and screenwriter in the jury finally returned to their positions, and the assistants also took their positions. The line assistant who played with Su Mo gave him the audition script and went to his position.

Su Mo skimmed through it quickly, put the script aside, took a step forward, and buttoned his shirt to the top button. "Do you think you are nobler than us?" He read the lines in English, his voice was suppressed, and there was hatred in his eyes, "No, you are not nobler than us at all, you stupid white pig!"

He bent down and gently brushed the line assistant's cheek with his hand, with an unpredictable expression.

"Cut the close-up, cut the face close-up!" Director Tan urged the camera.

Su Mo's expression was immediately projected on the big screen, which seemed to be loving but also hating. He traced her chin and eyes over and over again, and the hatred in his eyes became more and more intense.

"Look how beautiful you are." He sighed.

"But, I know it's dirty here." He poked hard on the assistant's left chest with his index finger, "It's dirty in here! I know, I know what kind of person you are, you're a piece of trash! Think about those The people you ruined, what did they do? Why can't they enjoy school like normal kids? Why do they have to put up with your bullying? Just because they have a different color than you?"

He slapped the assistant's face with his palm, and the assistant turned his face sideways very cooperatively, with fear in his eyes.

"Look, they are so beautiful." Su Mo grabbed her chin again and turned his face away, staring affectionately into her eyes, "These eyes are so beautiful, but they have witnessed atrocities and remained indifferent! "

Su Mo on the stage let her go and walked back and forth violently.

Tan Dao waited for his next performance with bated breath, almost not daring to shake a hair, fearing that the two people on the stage would be separated from the atmosphere of the play.

This is what he wants!

Especially when Su Mo just started buttoning his clothes, this represents self-protection and is a conservative signal.

Lin Qing was victimized by violence, but he is not a fan of violence. He arrested the heroine out of hatred in his heart, but his nature is so kind.

So he even admired the woman in front of him with loving eyes, and even softened his heart.He buttoned up his clothes to give himself the last layer of protection, because such atrocities not only hurt the other party, but also hurt himself.

But as long as he thought that the woman in front of him had also participated in school violence, made one or several children like him desperate and painful, and even left a lifetime of sequelae, he wanted to kill the person in front of him very much.It's as if he killed the people who bullied him over and over again in his dream!

When kindness and tyranny appeared on him at the same time, when childhood horror memories came back to his mind, when he deceived this woman here with incomparable hatred.His body seemed to be torn and torn by these kinds of sensations, excruciating pain.

Su Mo picked up the blinding potion and approached the assistant step by step.The assistant stared at him in horror, and flinched back unconsciously.

A really good actor can not only use acting skills to express the emotional level of the characters, but also find out the part of his memory that he can empathize with, amplify and deepen it, and achieve empathy with the characters.

And the cruelest thing is that actors must expose their most fragile feelings and present them to the audience.

"Cut!" Director Tan shouted after the first shot was completed.

The assistant gasped for breath. She really felt scared just now, and she even really felt the killing intent.Director Tan's voice was like the last straw, and finally brought her back to reality. She touched her face unconsciously, and there were tears on her face.

Su Mo was also brought back to reality by the sound of "click", his eyes lost focus in a trance, and slowly gathered again.

"It's great, it's brilliant!" Director Tan stood up and applauded heartily.

Su Mo stood on the stage and looked at him. His eyes were a little confused before he had finished playing.

"The acting was very good." Tan Hong said again, "I want to ask a more personal question, have you ever experienced school bullying? Or some similar situation."

Director Tan's voice was very steady, with a trace of warmth, Su Mo finally saw the reality clearly, they were in the audition hall, and he had just completed Lin Qing's audition segment in "Game of Life and Death".

"No." Su Mo said, looking at the floor not far away, "I recalled the time when I first arrived in Nanfeng, when I first arrived in a big city, I felt a little out of place and felt very uncomfortable."

Director Tan nodded, it was indeed so.Su Mo does not have such extreme experience as Lin Qing, but he knows how to call out the appropriate part from his past experience. It may only be a momentary feeling, but he deepens and magnifies it, plus his own understanding of the characters. Comprehension and imagination finally shaped that dramatic performance.

"Well, Lin, what do you think?" Tan Hong threw the question to Lin Sheng.

Lin Sheng's face was pale, unable to tell whether he was satisfied or dissatisfied, he scanned Su Mo from top to bottom, and finally said, "I hope you don't ruin this character."

"Speak well." Director Tan persuaded in a low voice, and Lin Sheng rolled his eyes in exchange.

He couldn't, so he had to walk down from the judging table and shake hands with Su Mo, "Su Mo, welcome to the team of "Game of Life and Death."

……

Jiang Jiang waited outside with smoke on his head and thorns on his feet. Su Mo stayed longer than anyone who had ever been in before.This is a good signal in a sense, but it does not alleviate the anxiety of waiting at all.

Besides Jiang Jiang, Zhao Yi was also wandering not far from the door.

Director Tan and screenwriter Lin both affirmed his performance just now, and he knew in his heart that the rest of them would be made up, and only Su Mo could be regarded as a competitor, so Su Mo's performance was crucial.

The final winner will be decided between him and Su Mo.Zhao Yi stared intently at the door of the audition hall, waiting for the verdict.

Finally, the door of the audition hall opened, and everyone looked inside like a quail.

Su Mo came out with heavy fatigue on his face.

Jiang Jiang's heart immediately swayed, and he stepped forward to comfort him: "It's okay, you are still young, you have a chance."

Su Mo gave Jiang Jiang a strange look, but he really couldn't laugh anymore, and he didn't even bother to speak. The scene just now almost exhausted all his energy.

Immediately afterwards, Tan Hong came out.The crowd became more crowded, and everyone squeezed their heads into the middle.

"First of all, thank you for participating in this audition." After standing still, Director Tan opened his mouth.

Zhao Yi was standing beside him, looking at Su Mo's expression just now, the chance of him being selected is not high. Could it be that Director Tan also feels that there are no good candidates in the future, so he is going to announce the result now?

"Just now, Su Mo gave us a very wonderful performance. I think he has a deep understanding of the role and has superb acting skills. So the screenwriter Lin Sheng and I decided that Su Mo will play the role of Lin Qing."

The author has something to say: Thank you for your support, okay!
