actor contract

The tentative title of this movie is "Close At Hand". The name is very literary, and it is actually an adaptation of a youth novel.Because he has not been confirmed to play the role, the introduction of the script that Fang Xu got is not complete, but he can roughly know what kind of story it is based on the information in his hand.

The content of the movie is not limited to love, but also family affection, dreams, hard work and persistence. It contains many things and is very rich. This is a goofy popcorn movie with various selling points.

The director, surnamed Liu, is a young man under the age of 30. He is thin and tall, wearing thick glasses, expressionless, lazy to talk too much, but he is very clear and powerful in giving instructions to the staff, and has quite a personality.Fang Xu didn't know him, and there was very little information on the Internet. This director has only a few MVs and micro-films. His works are very aesthetic, and he is good at matching color scenes. The feeling of vitality is very dynamic, and the storyline is also good.

And... Pei Chen is very optimistic about him.

Inexplicably, Fang Xu has more confidence in this drama and reminds himself that he must work hard.

Because he came a bit early and the audition hadn't started yet, he followed the staff to lead him to the waiting area and prepared by the way.In fact... there is nothing to prepare for.This audition was very special. The director didn't release too many script scenes for them to choose to perform, and he didn't even ask them which roles they would try out.

The unknown is the most frightening. Fang Xu was really nervous when he saw that the few people who arrived first were neither sitting nor standing, nor were they swiping their phones nor chatting with others.

Only the person sitting on the chair at the end was very calm.This man has handsome features, a good figure, a fresh temperament, and a very warm smile, but when he raises his eyes and looks at you quietly, there is a different kind of firmness in his dark eyes, which will seduce you. My heart trembled.

The image of this person fits perfectly with the protagonist of the movie!

In addition, when this person saw Fang Xu, his eyes were slightly cold and he nodded proudly...

Fang Xu understood almost without thinking, this person is a competitor!And he recognizes himself!

Who is this person?

The other party didn't intend to come over to say hello, so Fang Xu didn't go over to ask for his acquaintance. He was surprised but couldn't suppress it. He tried his best to remember whether he had seen this person...

Until there were more and more people, and the staff came to tell them to go to the audition hall, Fang Xu still had no conclusions. He probably knew this person.But when this person looked over, his eyes were very strong, his fighting spirit was high, and he obviously regarded himself as an opponent.

Could it be...he wants a male role!And I also know that I also want the role of the male lead!

That makes sense.

But...Fang Xu raised his eyebrows slightly, and raised the corners of his mouth. He always went all out for the opportunity he saw, and would never be affected by anyone or anything!

Fang Xu smiled confidently at the young man.

The man was slightly startled, but raised his brows high, and his eyes were very proud and confident.

The two walked along with the audition team, one looked at each other and the other rubbed shoulders, as if invisible sparks collided, the atmosphere was very subtle.

……

The director really had an idea. He found a very large audition hall, invited all the dozens of people who participated in the audition into it, and pointed to a few lines of words on the wall: "Lines."

There is no fixed plot, only fixed lines. He asked everyone to act out the most suitable scenes according to their own imagination, and at the same time, make reasonable use of the lines on the wall.Audition actors can find a partner to perform together, or they can perform by themselves. There are no cameras on the scene, but there are various props in the cubicle, and they can propose them at will if necessary.

Throughout the audition process, not only the director and crew members are present, but also all the audition actors. In addition to performing by themselves, you can watch other people's performances from beginning to end.For the sake of fairness, the performance order of the actors will be determined by drawing lots.

As soon as the rules were announced, the audition actors all gasped.

This director is too ruthless!

The same lines, think of the scene by yourself, let everyone stay together, and watch other performances from beginning to end!The same lines are inherently a kind of pressure. If you compare the two people before and after, you will immediately know who is stronger and who is weaker. If the person in the front performs too well, and the person behind is tense and performs poorly, who will you talk to?And there are so many people auditioning together, the lines are fixed, maybe a few of them thought of the same scene, the same pattern and the same emotion, what if they crashed?It’s okay if the sequence interval is relatively large during the performance, and there is still time to think about it later. If it is the front and rear, how can the people behind perform?Will acting exactly the same be regarded as uncreative plagiarism and imitation?It's not the same as acting, now I think it will have a good effect!

So the order of draw is very important.

Generally speaking, the first performance and the last performance will leave a deeper impression on the director and the program team, but the further you go, the fewer ideas you can choose, the narrower the form of expression, and the middle way is not reliable...

After everyone had finished thinking about it, Qi Qi stared at the lottery box, wanting to draw the top few good lots.

Fang Xu immediately looked up at the wall.The words on the wall are very large and conspicuous, and can be seen clearly from all angles.

What is dream?

It is probably something that fascinates you, frustrates you, but still brings you a sense of happiness and satisfaction, and you are unwilling to let go of it for a lifetime.

You speak like love.

Is it... so to speak, it is a bit similar.

What is your dream?

Probably... I hope his (her) wish will come true and never fail.

Now it's really like love.

……

These few lines seem to be a dialogue between two people. The director said he imagined the performance by himself. Fang Xu felt that no one would choose the role of the questioner, because it is obvious that the respondent reflects more emotions and is more likely to move people.

And... Fang Xu recalled the script, and felt that these few lines were very ambiguous, as if they were suitable for every character in the movie.

For example, the male lead, who likes the heroine, starts his own career direction for the heroine’s wishes. This career starts with the heroine and ends with the heroine. His whole life seems to be living for the heroine and loving her. , guard her, even if we can't stay together forever.Such an answer can be the lines of an affectionate male lead.

For example, female number one, her dream originated from her mother's embrace when she was young, and her mother's yearning.My mother is a very good, very good person. If there were no accidents, she would definitely be the one who achieved success on the road to her dream.The female one carries her mother's love and her own dream, and walks on this road bravely. Such an answer may also be what the female one said.

For example, the second male, who grew up with the first male and the first female, doesn’t seem to have any attachments. He likes the first female, but his good buddy also likes the first female. The friends are all too good. In order to catch up and not be left behind, I had to choose Set a direction and work hard.It seemed difficult and unwilling, but in the end, he found that the path he chose at first was not wrong. He didn't choose in a hurry, and he didn't choose to win whoever he was. What exactly, what is most important to him.Such an answer could also be his.

Another example is women, two women, three men and three men. They each have their own personalities and obsessions.It may be crazy and twisted, and I have done a lot of wrong things for the sake of love, even at the expense of the achievements in the road of dreams. After a complete blow, I understand what is the most important thing, what has always supported and encouraged me; There is no persistent thing, until a certain opportunity, find a dream and stick to it, and achieve success...

These characters, in certain situations, can also say such answers.

A few lines of big words were pasted on the wall, as if asking them, which role do you want to play?Play whatever you want!

Fang Xu looked at the director with admiration.

I have to say, this arrangement is too clever.Although this special audition method is very difficult for the actors, it is very suitable for the director. He can quickly and accurately select the desired actors!

……

Fang Xu stepped forward to draw lots, 68, slightly behind, and several actors who had just finished drawing looked at him sympathetically.

Fang Xu smiled, and walked aside alone, thinking about how he would act out this scene.

In this movie, the keywords that run through the context have always been these few: youth, love, dreams, warmth, and healing.It is an inspirational story with some innocence, but it is very real. Every character is full and vivid. It will make you cry, move you, warm you, make you recall, make you yearn for, and its emotions is upward.

The story of the characters starts from youth again...

So its tone should be bright and fresh.

The picture Fang Xu imagined was sitting in a sunny coffee shop, having a short leisure time, talking with the waiter.The facial expressions and movements must be just right, especially the eyes, which must be able to convey strong emotions. There must be a strong contrast with the leisurely and peaceful environment. You must also pay attention to the way the lines are pronounced, so that people feel full of storytelling...

After building everything in the mind, the preparation time given by the director has come. The staff announced the start, and the first performance with number one was drawn.

The girl who got No. [-] was probably the first one. She was a little nervous and even stuttered when she spoke her lines. The effect of the performance was not ideal.The girl came down covering her face after the performance, as if she was crying.

The girl behind her was also a little girl, and she felt a little regretful when she saw this. She thought that the first one was a good one, but it turned out that the first one was not good. The pressure was too much, and the performance was super tense!

Then number two, number three, number four...

Some of them were partners, and some acted alone. There was a girl who performed very well, her eyes were like water, clear and bright, but the emotions conveyed were very tenacious and positive, which fit the image of the heroine.

Fang Xu watched the actors perform, appreciating and evaluating in his heart, and also analyzed that others have, he does not have, and can learn from the advantages, so he is not as nervous as other waiting actors.

Soon, it was the young man I met outside the door just now.Only after the staff called his name did Fang Xu know that this person was Xiwen.

Xiwen asked for a chair as a prop, placed it in front of the window, sat down, and signaled to the staff that it was ready, the staff nodded and announced the start.

Then, Fang Xu discovered that Xiwen's aura had changed.

His brows were straight and his eyes drooped slightly. He was bathed in the sun, and his whole demeanor was warm and friendly, and he was very friendly.He took the 'cup of coffee' empty-handed and stirred it lightly in front of him, as if he heard what the person opposite said, he tilted his head slightly, his brows and eyes stretched and a bright smile appeared.

"Probably something that fascinates you, frustrates you, but still brings you a sense of happiness and satisfaction, something that you will never let go of for the rest of your life." He really thought of a very special and warm memory, and the corners of his brows and eyes were filled with happiness .

The other party seemed to reply something, his eyes widened slightly, and he seemed a little surprised, but then smiled again: "That said, it's kind of similar."

Then, his eyes narrowed slightly: "Probably... I hope his (her) wish will come true, and it will never come true."

Xiwen seems to be particularly good at catching sunlight. He stretches his long legs, and when he sits by the window, it seems that all the sunlight can shine on him. He is like an angel with a halo, and the picture is simply beautiful.But he didn't blindly play handsome, his eyes clearly conveyed emotions, and his voice was orderly and orderly, with clear severity. In just a few tens of seconds, various emotions such as joy, happiness, thinking, helplessness, yearning, and slight pain overlapped, almost It can make people feel his strong inner changes.

He sat there quietly, lowering his eyebrows and talking indifferently, but the picture he showed was quite vivid, rich in associations, subconsciously moved or distressed...

He is doing great!

very good!

Even the director's gaze changed, and he deliberately took a look at the actor's profile in the hands of the staff.

After the performance, when Xiwen came back, all the actors gave him admiring glances, so he would definitely be selected!This kind of expressive power may be the first today!

Xi Wen smiled at everyone, his eyes passed over Fang Xu at last, and he issued a silent challenge: I'm done with the performance and I'm very confident, how about you?

Fang Xu smiled at him calmly, but his heart was not calm at all. Xiwen's performance just now was also what he wanted to do!The scene, situation, and effect he thought of before are also like this!

Soon it will be his turn...

What should I do, the performances are exactly the same, everyone fights for strength, or change the way to avoid their edge?

Fang Xu is confident that his strength is not inferior to Xiwen, even in the exact same situation, he will not lose, and there is no need to avoid his edge.But is it something to be proud of winning like this?Is this situation really the best and the best? Is there no better idea?

No, there must be.

Do your best if you want to do it, and he will win even more beautifully!

Fang Xu closed his eyes and turned his mind quickly.

……

The protagonist is an important battlefield for everyone to fight for. There are quite a few people who agree with each other, and the performance situations are similar. Some of them can’t be changed at all because of the short interval. There are sparks everywhere, and the atmosphere can be described as intense.

The director and the working group didn't care about it at all, they just watched and analyzed everyone's performance and scored them faithfully.

Soon, it was Fang Xu's turn to play.

Larger props are not easy to carry, so Fang Xu only needs a tape measure and hangs it around his neck.The male protagonist's job is a fashion designer. Once the measuring tape is hung up, the sense of professionalism comes out.

He chose a corner with bright lights to stand, nodded to indicate that it was time to start, and the staff announced the start, and he pretended to be carefully cutting cloth materials on the workbench.

"Dream? It's probably something that fascinates you, frustrates you, but still brings you a sense of happiness and satisfaction, something that you never want to let go of for the rest of your life."

He had a brisk voice, smiled, and continued to cut the fabric seriously. After cutting, he turned around and gestured on the 'plastic model'. After the gesture, he felt good, nodded in satisfaction, and reached for the 'pearl needle' on the table. ', grab a few with your mouth, and pin them to the model one by one.

Someone next to him seemed to say something, he paused, his eyebrows drooped slightly, and his voice was a little low: "Is that so..." Then he turned his head and smiled in the direction of the voice, "That said, it's a bit like Woolen cloth."

Then he focused on the clothes he was making in front of him again, very seriously, perhaps impressed by his seriousness, the 'person next to him' was quiet for a while, and did not speak.

Until he stopped working, he stepped back to look at the work.

When the 'person next to him' asked something, he was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, his smile was very bright, as if he could blend in all the good things in the world, your heart would soften when you smile.

There was no negative emotion at all, he had no helplessness, no pain, no sorrow, he stopped for a while, and then walked back to the model, sliding his fingertips over the model's clothes, and said in a very soft voice, "Probably... …I hope his (her) wish will come true, and it will never fail.”

His fingertips slid very slowly, and under the bright lights, his eyes seemed to glow, full of anticipation and amazement, as if he was imagining someone wearing this dress.So beautiful, so gentle...

Slowly, his fingertips trembled slightly, and there were faint tears in his eyes, but he was not sad, as if he sincerely looked forward to this day, and sincerely blessed him, although the result was not what he most hoped for.

This picture gives the feeling...

It's like he made a wedding dress for his lover. This wedding dress has exhausted all his enthusiasm and energy. He hopes that the person he likes will be beautiful and happy at the wedding.He can't be with her for the rest of his life, but he hopes that every minute and every second of her life will be happy. When this special moment, the most beautiful day for a woman comes, she will be like a princess, wearing the wedding dress he personally made for her , took her knight's hand, fiercely, and continued to be happy.

……

After this scene, everyone in the audition hall was stunned, and a needle could be heard immediately.

If Xiwen's performance has a sense of imagery, touching and distressing, then Fang Xu's performance has a kind of active vitality, allowing you to see the story behind him through the appearance, and grab your heart!

The protagonist expressed in the former is a warm man. He is warm and cheerful, and will make you feel the sunshine, but the sunshine also has corners covered by dark clouds. Like ordinary people, he will be sad, sad, and helpless for his fate.

The protagonist played by the latter is himself the sun. He is always brilliant, dazzling, and energetic. Even if there is a moment destined to fall, before the last moment comes, he can still burn the last part of his energy and bring a gorgeous sunset!He is only grateful to nature and life, to thank God for everything he has given, he will feel it, he will cherish it, but he will not be sad and give up on himself, even if the time to say goodbye comes, he will say goodbye with a smile!

Compared with Xiwen, Fang Xu's performance may not be so good in light control, but his performance is more delicate, with richer emotional expression levels, more shocking effects, and a flowing and cheerful vitality. Both are excellent, but one In comparison, it is obvious who catches people more.

During the audition, the director spoke for the first time: "Your name is Fang Xu?"

Fang Xu nodded: "Yes."

"Very good." Then waved him away, and the audition continued.

When Fang Xu returned to the team, Xiwen suddenly walked towards him.

"I'm looking forward to playing with you." Xiwen's expression was very serious, the light in his eyes could almost shine through, as if...he really admired Fang Xu and wanted to play with him.

Fang Xu was surprised for a moment, but he quickly felt Xiwen's sincerity. Although this person seemed to be targeting him before, it should be just to be wary of competitors?He held Xiwen's extended hand, with a big smile on his face: "I'm looking forward to it too."

……

After everything was over, Fang Xu walked out of the audition site and found a coquettish red Ferrari parked by the side of the road. Lance, as always, was holding a bunch of blue enchantresses, leaning against the front of the car while turning his sunglasses.

Fang Xu: ...Turn around and leave.

Lance had sharp eyes and immediately spotted him: "Fang Xiaoxu!" He rushed over while shouting, stuffed flowers into his arms, grabbed his arm and walked to the side of the car.

Fang Xu was no match for his brute force, and fighting on the street was ugly, so he had to give in.

"Hurry up, hurry up, don't get caught by Pei Chen!" Lan Si was extremely anxious as if his butt was on fire.

Fang Xu teased: "So careful?"

"You must be careful! The tyrant is sinister and shameless, and if you are not careful, you can't date!" Lance pushed Fang Xu into the passenger seat, ran to the other side in a hurry, got in the car and closed the door.

Fang Xu put on his seatbelt helplessly: "Actually, you don't have to do this, Pei Chen treats me differently than you imagined..."

"How is that possible!" Lance smiled while looking at the back of the car, "I can see the way he looks at you with my knees. He must be in love with you, and it's very, very deep!"

When Lance said this, his blue eyes were wide open, his voice was firm, and there was a sinister smile on his face, which was very different from his usual image.

Fang Xu stroked his forehead with a headache: "Lance, Pei Chen... is the actor."

The acting skills are outstanding, what does it look like, and a love effect makes you angry, isn't that easy to catch?
