reshape life

When Lu Heng received the audition notice, it happened that the filming of "Exchange Lives" was also at the end.

Although Fang Kaizhi is unilaterally optimistic about Lu Heng's appearance, temperament, personality and heroic performance, he will play a role in the script.But he can't ignore the opinions of production companies, investors and even screenwriters.Especially after he deliberately rejected the actors recommended by the company and some investors, he needed to come up with strong reasons to persuade everyone to accept his candidate.

So when Lu Heng came to audition, it was very rare to see the director Fang Kaizhi, the assistant director Yu Shuisen who was in charge of casting, the producer of the crew and two people sent by investors, as well as the movie's male and female protagonists Jing Xiao, and Rong Xiu, who plays the male lead.

People are so complete!

Lu Heng was wearing a white shirt and black trousers Peking Opera uniform, a pair of layered soles on his feet, and no makeup on his face.Simple attire, simple people, just stand there so simply, the whole person is like a green pine and cypress proud of the snow and frost, even the overly delicate and soft eyebrows can't suppress that He is full of heroic spirit.

The eyes of everyone sitting in the audition room could not help but light up.

Fang Kaizhi smiled in satisfaction, and said: "I think Lu Heng's appearance and temperament are quite in line with the personality of the actor Cen Qiubai when he was a child, and his Peking Opera skills needless to say, "Exchange Life" Everyone has watched the show. Then let's try a little drama."

Everyone has no opinion.

The casting director sent a page to Lu Heng.It's the role that Lu Heng will try later.

The so-called audition is to let the actors read a line according to the script, to observe the actor's line skills and whether the grasp of the role is in place.

Because Fang Kaizhi was very satisfied with Lu Heng's appearance, temperament and various conditions, the audition clips he gave were also very simple.It is the scene where the leading actor Xiao Cen Qiubai made his first appearance.In order to allow Lu Heng to better integrate into it, Fang Kaizhi even specially asked the casting director to give him a match.

Lu Heng glanced down at the script, and his heart suddenly dawned.

The name of the movie is "Autumn Dew White", and it is a literary film set during the Anti-Japanese War.The leading actor, Cen Qiubai, was born in a family of Peking Opera, and has been learning martial arts under the influence of his parents since he was a child.Probably because of the influence of his ears and eyes, the male protagonist was born with a heroic spirit, a warm heart, and likes to help the weak. When he grew up, he devoted himself to the revolution. He used his status as a famous actor to mediate in the upper class, stole many secrets, and disrupted the enemy's actions. At the same time, it also saved the lives of many revolutionaries.

What Lu Heng wants to play is the childhood of the leading actor Cen Qiubai, and the scene he wants to try is the scene where he and the second male lead meet for the first time at the beginning of the movie.

The second male lead, Han Lusheng, lost both of his parents since he was a child. Because of his good looks, he was sold to his father-in-law by his virtuous brother and sister-in-law.When he was twisting and sending people to the Xianggongtang, he happened to be rescued by the male protagonist passing by.The male protagonist felt sorry for the life experience of the second male lead, and begged his father to redeem the second male lead.The male lead's father took a fancy to the second male lead's appearance and voice, and asked him to stay in the troupe and sing Tsing Yi Danjiao exclusively.

When Lu Heng read this script, various fragments of the movie appeared in front of his eyes.

In his previous life, he debuted at the age of 14. Because he became famous as a teenager, the schedule was very tight. Lu Heng didn't have many opportunities to watch movies and TV shows, especially literary films that didn't match his acting style.

But he was forced by Sun Shuliang to read "Autumn Lubai".Because this movie is really famous.Fang Kaizhi took the route of winning awards for literary films.After the film was completed, the film was directly applied to the four major international film festivals before it was released in China, and was successfully shortlisted for the main competition unit. Afterwards, it won the Best Supporting Actor Award at the Cannes Film Festival and the first Palme d'Or in China. won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

For a time, the global entertainment circle was shocked.The domestic media is crazy about publicity and pursuit. Almost every artist who is recorded and interviewed will be asked, ""Autumn Dew" won the Palme d'Or and the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. How do you feel?"

Lu Heng, as a well-known young student in China at that time, was naturally not immune.The manager Sun Ge managed to get the source of "Autumn Dew White", let the artists under him watch it carefully and wrote down their impressions one by one, and summed up a variety of answer methods based on the reporter's questions. With different personalities, the answer drafts given are of course different.

After many years, Lu Heng basically forgot the specific details of this movie, but the second male lead Rong Xiu's amazing performance in it was still fresh in his memory.

He still remembered that after "Autumn Dew" was released around the world, the feminine, melancholy and handsome men suddenly appeared in the whole country and even in the whole of Asia. In those few years, exquisite and melancholy teenagers full of screens sprung up like mushrooms after rain, and many movies and TV shows also inexplicably added Many male actors reversed roles in Tsing Yi Huadan, and even male actors directly wore women's clothing to "beautiful".

Lu Heng glanced secretly at Rongxiu who was sitting behind the table with a calm smile and picturesque features.Immediately, the appearance of the other party's magnificent appearance appeared in his mind.

He watched the content of the audition several times, and then buckled the paper on the table.

Fang Kaizhi's eyes lit up: "Don't you need to read it?"

"No need." Lu Heng shook his head and said with a smile, "It's just a few words, I've already memorized them."

His self-confident and somewhat smug tone caught everyone's eyes.It was obvious that Lu Heng had entered the drama.

Then Lu Heng suddenly squatted down, propping his chin with one hand, his dark eyes rolled back and forth, as if he was staring at the people coming and going in front of him.There was a lazy smile on the corner of his lips, and the light in his eyes was as clear as the sparkling autumn water.The hearts of those who watched brightly trembled.

He opened and closed his eyes, and suddenly settled on the commotion in front of him.He frowned, silently sized up a pair of brother and sister-in-law who were pushing a skinny young man forward, and cursed and said some incoherent words.

Lu Heng stood up suddenly, took two steps forward, and made a blocking motion: "Hey, what are you doing?"

The assistant director immediately took the script to play: "What's your business? Whose hairless baby boy, stay where it's cool."

"Don't tell me, I know what you guys are going to do!" Lu Heng pouted, and squinted at the boy who was being escorted by his brother and sister-in-law: "Xianggongtang is not a place for serious men. It can eat people there!"

As he said that, Lu Heng grabbed the person who was detained by his brother and sister-in-law to cover behind him: "I have only heard of children and grandchildren fighting for family property and driving people out of the house, but I have never seen a younger brother being chased for two dollars. It was sold in Xianggongtang. Isn’t this driving people to death? You brothers and sisters are really dark-hearted.”

Lu Heng said "bah", grabbed the boy's hand and ran away.

That's the end of the content of the audition, Lu Heng broke free from the plot, calmed down a little, and stood still in the room.

There is a certain degree of relaxation in the performance, which can be released and received. The most important thing is to cooperate with the shooting habits of the big screen. The subtle expressions on the face are rich and in place, and the movements are also smooth. It doesn't look like a newcomer who has never been in contact with filming. .

This made Fang Kaizhi feel the joy of "picking up the treasure".The screenwriter Yao Suhua and the crew's producer who were originally worried that Lu Heng would not be able to bear the heavy responsibility also nodded.Considering Lu Heng's current popularity and social attention, everyone tends to choose such an aura actor as Xiao Cen Qiubai.

Rong Xiu, who played the male number two Han Lusheng, smiled warmly and praised: "I think it's pretty good. Seeing how lively and clever he was as a hero saving the beauty just now, the audience will not be surprised why the second male number fell in love with his teacher for a long time. elder brother--"

Accidentally spoiling the plot, Rong Xiu suddenly fell silent, smiled at everyone with a stretched eyebrow, and nodded in Lu Heng's direction.

Now that everyone's opinions are relatively unified, it seems that it can be finalized.Fang Kaizhi cleared his throat. Just as he was about to announce his decision, the leading actor, Yue Sennan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Let's stop watching!"

Yue Sennan glanced at Lu Heng with a smile on his face, "Although the little hero's performance is remarkable, it's just average and nothing new."

It's a well-behaved literary film, what more novelty do you want?

Fang Kaizhi frowned.However, Yue Sennan was the leading actor agreed after the meeting between the company, the investors and the director team, and he brought money into the team, so Fang Kaizhi had to give Yue Sennan some light.

"Then Sennan, what do you mean..."

Yue Sennan smiled, and glanced at Lu Heng: "Didn't you mention it before, Director Fang, that you think Zhao Miao in our company is good, and I want him to come over for a test shot. Zhao Miao has a lot of contracts, and it's hard to schedule Come, I hope you will give me another chance."

Yue Sennan paused slightly when he said this, and said with a smile: "After all, everyone is doing it for the good of the work."

Fang Kai sighed inwardly, he really wanted Zhao Miao to audition, he was indeed the one who proposed it.But Star Entertainment declined on the grounds that Zhao Miao couldn't make the schedule.Probably because Xiao Cen Qiubai had too few roles, and if Zhao Miao, a child star who is loved by audiences all over the country, postponed his schedule to come in as a guest star, it would only serve as a icing on the cake for the crew, and it would not be of much benefit to Zhao Miao himself.

Fang Kaizhi knew it well, so he asked the casting director to go to various art schools and opera academies to find someone.But he didn't expect that he had found the right candidate, and the schedule on Zhao Miao's side was also scheduled.

This little bit!

Fang Kaizhi glanced at Yue Sennan calmly.He also knew the discord between Yue Sennan and China Emperor Entertainment.As the first brother of Huaxia Emperor Entertainment, he was stolen by Star Entertainment with a lot of money.Although in the commercial world, it is not uncommon for an artist to switch to a brokerage contract, but Yue Sennan's behavior of changing his own club and helping his new club poach the corners of his old club is really one of the few in the industry.

Yue Sennan smiled, looked at Lu Heng again, and said intentionally, "Zhao Miao is already on her way here. I think she will be there in a while. Director Fang, look, shall we wait for Zhao Miao to finish the play test before announcing the decision?"

The people sitting in the audition room looked at each other.Several investors and film producers whispered to each other for a while, and tentatively asked, "Why don't we wait a little longer?"

After all, if you want to fight for popularity, Zhao Miao who has been active on the big screen is definitely no worse than Lu Heng who turned out to be born.The most important thing is that the other party has a wealth of acting experience, and often plays opposite big-name stars, and his performance has always been stable.As for the issue of box office appeal, let alone.

Although everyone is investing in literary films, they don't want to lose money.Otherwise, they wouldn't have spent a lot of money to hire Rong Xiu, Yue Sennan, and Zhou Jingxiao to play the leading roles and important male supporting roles.

Even screenwriter Yao Suhua couldn't help but be moved.Because when she was writing the script, the protagonist Cen Qiubai's childhood character design was shaped according to Zhao Miao's image.Now that the main audition is coming, she certainly doesn't want to refuse.

Now that the matter has come to this point, Fang Kaizhi is not willing to go his own way.I had no choice but to nod, and said to Lu Heng: "Alright then, you go back and wait for my call."
