fake show [entertainment circle]

The next day, on the sixth floor of Guangyuan Building.

Luo Hong and several colleagues are waiting for the actors to come for an interview.

In addition to Jian Lin's audition for Lin Xi, after one night, there were a few more boys on the audition list for the leading role, and they just happened to be together today.

After reading the profiles of those boys, Luo Hong regretted calling Jian Lin over.

Because after comparing, he found that the acting qualifications of the small group that he thought of at the moment were not very good.

Like the few other boys I met today, they are all majors, some from elementary school opera, and some who were admitted to majoring in film and television at a young age. They are all under [-]. Looking at the profile photos, they are all good-looking.

Unlike the materials that Luo Hong prepared for Jian Lin, there were no photos, no diplomas, and only four words of experience: worked as a group performer.

Luo Hong suddenly came to his senses, what kind of cramp did he feel that Jian Lin was suitable?Just because I thought that kid was good at acting more than a year ago?

Oh, forget it, I've shouted, let's see.

Several colleagues sat together and chatted about a few boys today.

Luo Hong's back was facing the gate, he leaned on the back of the chair, recalling the impression of Jian Lin.

"1.7 meters, about the same height as me."

"It's a bit dark. If you're a group performer, it's definitely not white. I just don't know if it's a little whiter now."

"It's not bad looking, it's not the kind that stands out, it's considered handsome in group performances."

"Tsk, think about it this way, it seems like a child."

After listening to the beginning, the colleagues noticed the door of the conference room with the door open behind Luo Hong.

There stood a tall boy in a dark blue jacket with fleece, in his early twenties, with simple attire, handsome and handsome.

What his name is, colleagues don't know, at least they haven't seen it in today's interview list photo.

But one thing they can be sure of is that Luo Hong's 1.7 meters tall, a little dark, not particularly outstanding, and childlike, will definitely not compete with the boys at the door.

Can't hit [-] or [-]!

Luo Hong belatedly realized that the eyes of his colleagues were all behind him, so he turned his head and met Jian Lin who was at the door.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

Luo Hong stood up abruptly, looked at Jian Lin in surprise, and blurted out: "Have you had plastic surgery?"

Everyone: "..."

Jian Lin admires Director Luo's imagination. Does he look like someone who can undergo plastic surgery?

Obviously not.

Because there is no money.

At Director Luo's surprise and unscrupulous words, Jian Lin responded with a polite smile: "Director Luo."

Luo Hong knew he had made a slip of the tongue, so he quickly smiled: "Hi, I haven't seen you for a year, and I almost didn't recognize you. I made a joke with you, don't mind. Come, come in." He stared at the boy in front of him while talking.

Looking at it this way, he confirmed that he had indeed slipped too much just now.

First of all, Jian Lin grew taller, taller than him, definitely more than 1.8 meters by visual inspection.

Secondly, Jian Lin opened the door.The first step in the excessive transformation of a boy into an adult man is that the last bit of baby fat disappears, and the contours of the facial features become clear and three-dimensional.Jian Lin fully complied.

In the end, Jian Lin's face had no trace of a knife being used, his complexion was fair, his eyelids were deep, his nose was straight, and his temperament was clean, retaining the youthful look that should be at this age.

In an instant, the regret that popped up in Luo Hong's heart was wiped out by the face in front of him.

regret?Sorry shit!

It's him, it's him!

Luo Hong looked at Jian Lin, showing an expression of "I'm not mistaken": "Come on, come in." He said politely: "Isn't it cool to wear so little?"

not cold.

The boy's bones and muscles are brand new "forged", and he is full of anger, only hot and not cold.

Although the temperature dropped today, and it was only a few degrees outside, Jian Lin had enough clothes inside and outside. Anyone would think that he was wearing very little, but he himself didn't feel cold, and his hands were still warm.

He didn't dress up specially for the audition, thinking that what he was wearing today was just a trick, so he took a piece of clothing from the cabinet before going out.

But it is precisely such a thin body that allows colleagues in the conference room to see his figure clearly——

He is tall, with long legs, and is just right thin, without looking thin. , his shoulder blades have grown out, giving him the strength of an adult male; and because of his slender body and fair complexion, he exudes a bit of pure youth.

The colleagues looked at each other tacitly, and they all lowered their heads to look through Jian Lin's interview materials.

Although there was nothing on the information other than the name and the words "been a group performer".

Jian Lin was called in by Luo Hong to sit down. The interview hadn't started yet, and the two chatted for a few words alone.

Luo Hong: "Still working as a group performer here?"

Jian Lin nodded.

Luo Hong smiled: "It's not easy this year, the start-up of the project has been reduced by more than half, and it's hard to find jobs."

Jian Lin didn't say much: "It's okay."

Seeing that he didn't speak much, Luo Hong intentionally guided him to talk more: "By the way, how old are you this year?"

Jian Lin: "Eighteen."

Eighteen, Lin Xi in the script is also eighteen.

Luo Hong was surprised: "I thought you were at least nineteen, and you would be twenty after the New Year." After a pause, "When Qin Palace was filming, I remember they said you were an 'old group performer'."

Jian Lin still didn't say much, and said concisely, "I came out early."

Luo Hong: "How many years have you been filming?"

Jian Lin: "Six or seven years."

Luo Hong: "Well, that can be considered an 'old actor'."

Jian Lin didn't know Luo Hong well. He came for an interview, not just to make troubles.

It's also because I have been a group performer for a long time, and I have a thorough understanding of this circle: in serious projects, everyone is very busy, and no one will deal with the group performance.

Jian Lin has been acting as a group performer for at least six or seven years, and has interviewed countless crews. He is very clear about what kind of group performance is in everyone's mind. He has always been clear about his own position, and he also knows how to deal with different people on different occasions. .

Luo Hong remembered him, and when he called him over, he came, but they were not familiar with each other. Luo Hong could chat with him enthusiastically, but he had to be careful.

Because he is a group performer, and the group performance is not the leading role, there is nothing irreplaceable.

In the film and television industry, it is a rule and habit to use acquaintances and acquaintances as group performers. Luo Hong remembers that he considered it his luck. He hopes to grasp this luck, so he can't be rash.

In the words of the old-timers and veterans: the crew likes extras who are down-to-earth in filming, easy to manage and communicate, and you look stable, so they dare to use you with confidence.

Jian Lin: Today is also a day when you must be cautious.

But Luo Hong's position is completely different, he doesn't think Jian Lin should be steady and quiet.

In my impression, when the boy in front of me was filming in Qin Palace, he was able to get along well in a group of extras.

The small group of actors in the same crew all called him Brother Xiao Lin, and they all loved to play along behind his ass.

Luo Hong has no memory of the costume project that was completed a year ago, but he still remembers Jian Lin.

I remember that he played the role of the boy next to the male supporting role in the play, wearing a gray-blue ancient costume, with rolled trousers and long sleeves of the jacket in the summer, leading a group of children barefoot to play eagles in the garden of the back hall of the Qin Palace Catch chicks.

A seven or eight-year-old boy acts as an eagle, and a group of children hang from the back of his trousers, bending over and opening his arms to act as a hen.

Amidst the crisp silver bells of the children, Jian Lin's face and smile were as clean as the dew on the lotus leaf in the morning, bright and pure.

Luo Hong always remembered.

"Don't be nervous." Luo Hong persuaded.

Jian Lin sat at the conference table and looked at him calmly: "I'm not nervous."

Luo Hong tried to guide and mobilize his emotions before the interview: "Would you... would you like to be more excited?"

Colleague: "Hey, Director Luo, we don't allow disco dancing here."

Luo Hong: "I know, I don't dance."

The joke lightened the atmosphere a bit and everyone was laughing.

Jian Lin felt a little strange, and was keenly aware that this didn't seem to be an interview for extras.

Sure enough, Luo Hong sat down, and among the group of people in charge of the interview, someone handed Jian Lin a piece of A4 paper, which briefly summarized the content of today's audition in a few words.

Someone asked him, "Can you?"

Jian Lin: "Yes."

There are only two lines and four characters on the paper——

rain.

shelter from the rain.

Not easy.

For actors, auditions with plots and dialogues are the most convenient, because they can rely on more details to show their acting skills.

For example, to avoid the rain in rainy days, if the scenes and plots are enriched, it will be much easier to become a blind person hiding in front of the passageway of the mall to avoid the rain.

After all, "blindness", "invisibility", "blocking the road" and "being hit by someone" can all be shown in the performance without physical objects through the details of the interpretation.

There are only four words "shelter from the rain in rainy days", which means how to act and how to enrich this plot depends entirely on the auditionee's own experience and on-the-spot interpretation.

To be honest, Luo Hong, the recommender, was a little uncertain about how Jian Lin would perform in this audition.

Many group performers are good at acting, everyone knows this, but Jian Lin...

After all, he was only eighteen.

In fact, for Jian Lin, this question was not difficult.

Taking shelter from the rain in rainy days is just a common experience over the years.

He is an extra performer in the crew, and there will always be a long wait before it is his turn. Sometimes he will say hello to the extra performers who are familiar with the crew, and slip away quietly to meet the food deliverer from the film and television city. Jane came to run an errand for him to deliver the order. When the weather was bad and he was afraid of getting the costume wet, he took temporary shelter from the rain in a place where he could hide from the rain. When he was sheltering from the rain, he would be in a daze, looking at the sky, the ground, Look for puddles of water that have accumulated in the depressions of the floor tiles.

Performance comes from experience, from life.

But this time, Jian Lin not only had her own experience.

Sometimes, some things are just so coincidental, as if they were destined long ago——

Half a month ago, the porridge shop didn't open, Jian Lin had nothing to do, and spent a whole day delivering Meituan takeaways for others.

On the side of the film and television city, a coffee shop in an alley, it was raining, he took the coffee order, entered the shop and waited.

When I entered the door, there was no customer in the coffee shop. While waiting for the order, someone opened the door and came in.

The sound of wind and rain floated into the store with the winter moisture.

The man was drenched in the rain, and when he pushed the door, he pushed the water droplets off his shoulders and sleeves with his hands. Jian Lin raised his head, and his eyes fell behind the transparent windshield cover of the helmet.

He thought the man would come in, order a cup of coffee, and sit and wait for the rain to pass.

but no.

The man didn't go in, and stood at the door after dusting off the rain, with his back to the direction of the bar and facing outside.

After a while, his cell phone rang. Jian Lin thought he would answer it, but he still didn't.

The man squeezed the phone, turned off the ringtone, let the incoming call notification flash, and stared out the window motionlessly.

Why didn't he answer?Jian Lin felt strange.

The clerk behind the bar making machine coffee also looked out suspiciously, and said loudly, "Sir, come in and have a seat."

The man tilted his head slightly, his voice was as low as his back: "Thank you, no need."

The flashing call notification in his hand went out, and after a few seconds, the screen turned on again.

The man still didn't answer, his arms dropped by his sides, and he pressed the voice again.

Jian Lin was suddenly curious.

The clerk at the bar whispered, "Waiting for someone."

Jian Lin looked down at the delivery time and asked, "Are you ready?"

The clerk put the lid on the coffee and wiped the body of the paper cup with a clean tablecloth: "Well, that's it."

Jian Lin put away her mobile phone and took the delivery paper bag.

When he reached the door, he whispered to the figure behind him, "Excuse me, excuse me."

"Sorry." The man made way sideways.

Jian Lin opened the door, facing the damp and cold moisture amidst the sound of rain.

At that moment, Jian Lin suddenly thought: He should not be waiting for someone, but hiding from someone.

What I saw and felt half a month ago became the content of the audition at this moment.

Putting herself in the role of that man, Jian Lin turned sideways to get out of the way, and apologized in a low voice.

Luo Hong and the others behind the conference table automatically had the perspective of Jian Lin that day. Looking at Jian Lin's back, they couldn't help thinking: Why didn't he come in and sit?Who are you waiting for at the door?Why don't you answer the phone?

Jian Lin turned around, stuffed the mobile phone into his pocket, faced the crowd, shrugged his shoulders, and signaled the end of the performance.

Luo Hong was slightly stunned: "You..."

So surprising!

How could he know that acting is not just a performance, but a way to guide thinking?

Luo Hong and several other colleagues looked at each other, and suddenly became serious. Someone pulled out a pen and began to write and draw on Jian Lin's audition list, and someone covered their lips and whispered, discussing with the people next to them.

Jian Lin, who was left on the sidelines, glanced at the black camera lens that was looking at him: What kind of project is this?

The author has something to say:

Rabbit: A project that allows you to meet your old Gong.
