An Athlete Held up by an Entertainment Career

Half a year ago, the four teenagers made their official debut after chasing after the light and forming a group.

In today's entertainment industry where men's groups gather together, the light-chasing group did not arouse much splash.After the group honeymoon period of the first three months, the Chasing Light group existed in name only. Except for the occasional meet-and-greet, most of the time, the four of them were developing independently.

The company also puts more emphasis on resource investment, and Li Chengxuan is the focus of training.

He has played a pleasing and important male supporting role in several major productions. After several dramas were broadcast, he has a good reputation. Therefore, Li Chengxuan is called by many people as a young actor in the new acting school.

I heard that he will play the leading role in the leading role in the near future.

It can be called a high starting point.

Xu Qiao walked towards the elevator, and when Li Chengxuan passed by, Li Chengxuan grabbed his arm.

Stopping in her tracks, Xu Qiao looked at him suspiciously. When her pupils turned, they looked like the sparkling waves of a summer lake. It simply made Li Chengxuan hold back what he had prepared.

Letting go, Li Chengxuan smiled affectionately: "I haven't seen you for a while, what are you doing at the company today?"

Before Xu Qiao could answer, his gaze had already landed on the audition script that Xu Qiao was holding in his hand.

"Sister Yang arranged an audition for you."

He leaned over and whispered in Xu Qiao's ear, "Come on for the audition."

Xu Qiao turned her head to look at him, frowned obediently, looking harmless and innocent.

Early the next morning, when Xu Qiao arrived at the SSE headquarters, Yang Hui was already waiting.

Taking Xu Qiao to the underground garage, Yang Hui unlocked the car, sat in the driver's seat, pulled off the seat belt, and asked, "How are you getting ready?"

"It's okay." Xu Qiao sat in the co-pilot and fastened her seat belt.

Yang Hui let out a "hmm", stepped on the gas pedal, and the car drove out slowly.

As soon as he got out of the garage, Xu Qiao saw Li Chengxuan standing at the door of the company.He seemed to be waiting for someone, looking around.When he saw Yang Hui's car, Li Chengxuan froze for a moment, then waved happily.

Yang Hui parked the car in front of him, rolled down the window and asked, "Cheng Xuan, what are you doing standing here?"

"Sister, what a coincidence. Hey, Xu Qiao is here too." Li Chengxuan greeted the two of them affectionately, "My car broke down, and I was planning to ask Xiao Wang to come pick me up. Hey, sister, you Have you had breakfast? I just bought something from the dim sum shop on West Street. Don’t you like glutinous rice cakes the most? Here.”

He lifted the packing bag in his hand.

Yang Hui tapped the steering wheel with her index finger and raised her chin towards him: "Then I'll just rub it."

The two had a good atmosphere, chatting happily, leaving Xu Qiao aside.

After a while, Yang Hui asked, "Where are you going, I'll see you off."

Li Chengxuan scratched his head: "I'm not in a hurry, I'm afraid it will delay you. By the way, sister, where are you and Xu Qiao going?"

Only then did Yang Hui shift her gaze to Xu Qiao and said, "Go to the audition."

Li Chengxuan showed a curious look.

Yang Hui unlocked the car and signaled Li Chengxuan to get in the car too: "If you're not in a hurry, let's go and have a look together."

Li Chengxuan sat in the back seat, Xu Qiao glanced at the rearview mirror, her eyes turned to his half-smile face, and her long eyelashes drooped.

His appearance here is not accidental no matter how you look at it.

After driving to the film and television city, Yang Hui parked the car and took the two of them to the Hundred Ghosts set.

Director Hu Zhenghua is very busy, today's audition is in charge of the assistant director Zhang Zhenlai.The field manager brought several people to Zhang Zhen. Zhang Zhen exchanged pleasantries with Yang Hui, and then turned his attention to Xu Qiao beside Yang Hui.

I read the information early in the morning. Zhang Zhen had heard about Xu Qiao's reputation as a vase, so he didn't even expect him to pass the audition. This audition opportunity was just to sell face to Yang Hui.

The real person looks much better than the photos. Zhang Zhen, who is used to seeing handsome men and beautiful women in the entertainment industry, can't help but give Xu Qiao a high score for his appearance.

When Li Chengxuan glanced over at the side, the other party bowed slightly politely.Zhang Zhen nodded, feeling a little puzzled in his heart as to why Yang Hui brought two people over.

"The crew is busy today, so let's not say much else, let's start the audition directly." Zhang Zhen looked at Xu Qiao, "Have you read the script? Although it is an audition, for the sake of effect, let's change the look first. ha."

Xu Qiao nodded, changed clothes at the stylist, and was taken aback when she came out, only to see Xu Siyi coming over at some point.

He was sitting next to Zhang Zhen, dressed in an ancient costume, white clothes fluttering, his long hair was tied up by a blue headband, his eyebrows were slightly protruding, his eyes were deep, and his jaw line was as elegant and clear as jade.

It can be seen from the obedience that the Hundred Ghosts crew is not short of money.Xu Siyi's clothes were gorgeous, the sleeve robe was embroidered with cranes about to fly, and the neckline was exquisite cloud patterns.

Xu Siyi came over to take a look after the filming. After hearing that Xu Qiao was auditioning for a while, he took advantage of the opportunity and sat down.

Li Chengxuan tried to say a few words to him, but this man put on the airs of a senior and said "um" twice.When Li Chengxuan saw the faint impatience on his face, he simply shut up.

Seeing Xu Qiao come out, Xu Siyi changed into a relaxed sitting position, narrowing his eyes slightly.

It is also an ancient costume, Xu Qiao's current appearance gives people a completely different feeling from Jin'er.

Jin'er was dressed in red, flamboyant and coquettish, a flower that was about to rot.

The little Taoist priest is dressed in a Taoist uniform and a square scarf on his head. His handsome face reveals a bit of ignorance and innocence, and his temperament is as clean as a spring in the forest.It is the innocent young man who was raised in the mountains since he was a child, but he is eager to punish the evil and promote the good to do great things.

The people in the production team were a little surprised. If the image of the little Taoist priest was still a little blurry after reading the script, but now seeing Xu Qiao, the blurry image suddenly became clear. The little Taoist priest should look like this .

Satisfied with Xu Qiao's appearance, Zhang Zhen flipped through the script and said, "You play the part where the little Taoist priest breaks the heroine's feelings for the water ghost."

After all, "Water Ghost" is also an old-fashioned story about I love you, you think you love me, but in fact you love him.

The little Taoist went down the mountain to practice, and was attracted by the innocent, kind and pure heroine. The two had similar interests and fell in love at first sight, and they naturally knew each other and fell in love with each other.

But the water ghost who grew up with the heroine is a shadow between them.

The little Taoist gradually understood that the water ghost might be more than just a childhood playmate to her, but the heroine herself did not realize this.For the first time, he wanted to get rid of the water ghost out of selfish reasons on the grounds of catching ghosts, subduing demons, and eliminating harm for the people. At this time, the heroine had a huge conflict with him.

The scene where Xu Qiao wants to audition is the scene where the heroine stopped the little Taoist who was performing Taoism to get rid of the water ghost, and the little Taoist questioned her.

As an audition actor, he is not qualified to read the entire script, he can only get a summary and the part of the script related to the audition.

How to play it depends on whether the actor can deliberate and improve the role to be auditioned from the limited information, and perform a play that suits the taste of the role.

Most of the male actors who came to the audition before performed this part, most of them were a little weak in emotional handling, hysterical lines, exaggerated body language, it is not a big problem to say that this performance, but it always feels a little bit meaningless.

Zhang Zhen rubbed his chin, wanting to see how Xu Qiao presented this passage.

Xu Qiao lowered her head to contemplate her emotions, and when she raised her head again, the things in her eyes were already different.He walked forward a few steps quickly, and then he seemed to hear someone calling him from behind, with two points of struggle in his eyes, and slowly stopped.

Everyone watching from the sidelines understood that it was the hostess who stopped him.

Xu Qiao lowered her eyes, her facial expression didn't change much, and she looked calm.

Zhang Zhen's original sloppy attitude froze for a moment, and then he looked at Xu Qiao seriously.

Knowing restraint in acting is a rare thing.

He continued to watch.

Xu Qiao raised her eyes, and there seemed to be someone standing in front of her. He looked at her, then quickly looked away, clasped the mahogany sword in his hand and swung it back and forth, pretending to be relaxed and indifferent: "Why stop me? He Their existence is a threat to the entire village."

There is no real person acting on the opposite side, but the dialogue part does not make people feel like a play.

When the hostess asked him if he hurt the water ghost out of selfishness, Xu Qiao smiled briefly, and the corners of his mouth curled up before retracting.

Those eyes were like ink dripping in clear water, and suddenly scattered, dizzy with an ink color.

He didn't answer, but those who watched understood that the conflict between him and the heroine had reached its peak at this moment, and irreconcilable contradictions were about to be brought to the fore one by one.

Contradictions and conflicts in a play are the process of the ebb and flow of various factors between characters in the play.Advance or retreat, love or hate, like a tug-of-war, draw a sharp voice.

The unbearable pain and sarcasm in Xu Qiao's eyes were so rich that it was impossible to ignore.

Finally, he squeezed out two words from his throat: "Selfishness?"

"Let me ask you, do I have selfishness, or do you have selfishness?"

The secrets of his mind were gradually exposed. The little Taoist priest who used to be childish changed his playful smile. Instead, he pressed on step by step, asking the heroine so that she could see clearly his wavering heart.

"You want him to re-enter reincarnation, then you know that if a person who drowned to death wants to re-enter reincarnation, someone needs to drown there to act as his scapegoat."

"You said that he never hurt anyone, but because of you, he has already moved the idea of ​​rebirth as a human, trying to lure people into the water."

"Do you know why he came up with this idea." Xu Qiao walked back and forth for two steps, the knuckles of the hand holding the mahogany sword turned white due to the force.

The voice is good, and the lines are also good.This large section of lines is clearly pronounced, the voice is stable, and the emotional stress is in place one by one, which has surpassed most of his peers.Zhang Zhen evaluated secretly in his heart.

"Because of you. Because you've grown up, from that babbling, fumbling baby, to what you're now—"

Examining the illusory girl standing in front of him from head to toe, all emotions rested, Xu Qiao said softly:

"It looks like this now."

Xu Siyi smiled, knowing that Xu Qiao had already secured the role, so he didn't stay any longer and returned to the set.

After a long while, Zhang Zhen put his palms together, and there was a "crack" applause: "Not bad."

In this performance, Xu Qiao's sense of proportion was excellent.The control of micro-expression is excellent, and the expression of emotion is not hollow or exaggerated.

Nowadays, many actors are using a routine acting technique. Anger means bursting of veins and roaring, and expressing anxiety means rubbing the corners of their clothes with their hands.In fact, it is using a performance method that can be used as a template, in other words, it is perfunctory and lazy.

As a result, the actors look like the same person no matter what they play.

The technique is essentially right to use, and it is easy for the audience to accept such an emotional setting.But if you don't think about it and only know the routine, then what you show will be difficult to be convincing, and it will be difficult for the audience to have empathy.

There is no way to talk about letting the audience take the role into the character and feel the ups and downs of the character's fate.

Xu Qiao's understanding of the little Taoist can be said to be thorough, and the design of the details is in place enough to fit the role positioning.

And the restrained, natural performance is even more touching.

Some actors cried and laughed, overjoyed and saddened, but the audience was indifferent, only feeling indescribably awkward and stiff.Some actors have no tears, but a look and a subtle movement are enough to attract people's attention.

Speaking of the reasons, talent, time precipitation, and effort are all indispensable.

Many actors, whose life experience is not enough to support their understanding of the emotions of different roles, joy, anger, worry, sorrow, fear, and seven emotions, are not talented enough, lazy to think, and lazy to polish their basic skills. How can we talk about acting skills.

And Xu Qiao's biggest advantage is that the various experiences brought to him by the world of transmigrating books have been engraved in his bones for hundreds of years and thousands of years, and he can't lose them even if he wants to.

The so-called acting skill is to use this body of one's own body at this time to contain the soul of another person at that time, to become another person.

In the eyes of those who watched the audition on the crew, this audition was wonderful.

However, Xu Qiao did not get the role.

Li Chengxuan was finally decided to play the little Taoist priest.
