Love at public expense in the name of making stars

Before Liang Han finished speaking, both Lu Siqi and the cartoonist couldn't help laughing out loud, and lamented that director Tong Xunze was really a representative of straight men, and girls couldn't tell the difference between before and after makeup.

Everyone was just joking around in good faith, but Xingmei felt more and more that she lost her points without makeup and felt ashamed.

Director Tong was a little shocked and a little embarrassed, but he really didn't expect that such a clean and clear girl was the previous Internet celebrity.

On the one hand, he changed his mind, but on the other hand, he felt a little embarrassed, and his tone of speech to Xingmei was a little gentler, and he apologized and said sorry.

Seeing that the atmosphere had calmed down, Liang Han breathed a sigh of relief, and asked Henry Zhang to invite the early actresses to the conference room to rest, then adjusted the rhythm, asked some routine questions, guided the star girl to introduce herself, and also gave the details of several scenes Performance tests are very simple, just look at the processing of different emotions.Xingmei was a little nervous, she was not a professional actress, she just recorded various imitation videos on Douyin, her acting skills were a little blunt and exaggerated.

But the advantage is that her instinctive reaction is close enough to the character, and she is very adaptable to the communication characteristics of short videos. When performing, she can always grasp the most important emotions to express, revealing a natural sense of comedy.

Everyone can see that the state is very relaxed, and their love for Xingmei has also increased significantly.

Even director Tong Xun, who is as critical as Tong Xun, is watching with a smile on his face. Although he will stop and suggest adjustments, the corners of his mouth are always raised, and it can be seen that he is still satisfied.

The audience next to Liang Han reacted, and promptly gave a paragraph in the script, asking Xingmei to recite the lines and prepare a paragraph for the character alone.At the same time, he also asked Henry Zhang to invite the candidate actresses to give a formal self-introduction to everyone.Let her try out similar performance content one by one.

In fact, the actors who can be selected as male and female protagonists will not be too bad in all aspects.Like this girl, not only is she the number one major in the acting department, but she has also signed into a big star-studded company, and her agent has stronger wrist resources.She also contacted Liang Han directly and sent the information, so she was selected.

After all, the girl is from a professional background, and the interpretation of emotions is more layered.

But Tong Xun obviously felt that this girl probably performed too smoothly in the performance, no matter what kind of emotions she conveyed, there was a sense of familiarity at her fingertips.

Not green.

And what he wanted, the initial perception of the script, was a young love.

Countless touches and temptations without a sound, the almost taboo emotions in adolescence, the initial initiation of seeing each other as gods... Finally, they walked firmly together, and the sweet love after facing countless setbacks.

The girl in front of her is obviously good in everything, but because she is so good, she lacks the most important thing, which is exactly what Xingmei uniquely has - the sense of youthfulness.

After the audition, the two girls left Starway casting studio one after another.

Tong Xun took off his glasses, closed his eyes and rested his mind, gently rubbing the bridge of his nose.

The balance in his heart has completely tilted towards Xingmei unconsciously, and this is the best choice in his mind.

After exhaling a long breath, Tong Xun opened his eyes again, ready to sit up.

A hand reached out from the side and handed him a thermos.

Tong Xun was stunned for a moment, and found that this was his own water glass. He had just helped the actor to adjust his state, and he talked a little too much.

He turned his head slightly, and found that it was Liang Han standing beside him. At some point, the other party went to refill his cup with hot water, and then brought it back.

Liang Han smiled and put the water glass in Tong Xunze's hand, and said softly: "The director has worked hard, drink some tea."

Director Tong not only subverted the perception of Xingmei, but also looked at Liang Han with admiration. He was amazed in his heart, but without revealing his face, he just asked: "Xiaohan, why do you think this Xingmei can play Yang Can? Did you know each other before?"

"No, I saw it by accident when I was on TikTok." Liang Hanfeng said lightly, "Intuition she is very similar to Yang Can, the actor and the character, being able to resemblance is already amazing, and a little bit of acting is enough for idol dramas .”

He said it lightly, but Tong Xun knew it was not the case.

He has worked with many casting teams, and there are not many casting directors who can grasp the sense of character so accurately.The character's appearance and temperament may have been outlined in the script, but there are not many assistant directors who can really map the state described in words or pictures to reality to check it out.This is also a kind of ability.

Tong Xun patted Liang Han on the shoulder hard, and encouraged him: "Yes, Xiao Han, you have a pair of good eyes, and you have a promising future."

The audition process in the morning ended quickly, Anan ordered lunch for everyone, and everyone chatted in the studio and ate together.

Liang Han still had a few calls that he missed halfway, so he temporarily retreated to the office to deal with the important ones first. When he came back, Anan had already helped the director and producer to pack up the lunch boxes on the table. Eighty-eight.He was too embarrassed to continue eating. After thinking about it, he decided to simply go out and smoke a cigarette to get some air.

He lowered his head, read the news on WeChat, and walked out.

Pulling open the door of the studio with one hand, without paying attention, he bumped into someone's arms suddenly.

As soon as the other party stretched out his hand, he wrapped his arms around his waist, and then touched his forearm with ease, and stabilized him, "Be careful."

Liang Han looked up and met Qin Zhijian's eyes.

Qin Zhijian raised his eyebrows as a greeting.

Liang Han didn't know what he was thinking, so he blurted out, "Did you change your perfume today?"

Qin Zhijian was even more taken aback when he heard the words, and then a smile spread across his mouth, "Yes, you don't like it?"

It's not that I don't like it, it's a little strange.

Liang Han didn't have the nerve to say that the question just now was enough to make him regret, how could he and Qin Zhijian talk about such a personal topic as perfume?

He looked away, only to realize that there was still someone standing behind Qin Zhijian.

The figure was familiar, with sunglasses on his face, and a tall and straight figure.

No need to ask, of course it is the main character who came to audition, Duan Linqiu.

Liang Han quickly stepped back a few steps, leaving room for Qin Zhijian and others to enter.

Qin Zhijian was not in a hurry, he came in first, and then called, "Lin Qiu, come to say hello, this is director Liang Han, the person in charge of Xingtu casting."

"..." Liang Han didn't expect that Duan Linqiu, who could be regarded as a popular male artist at any rate, was ordered by Qin Zhijian as if he was introducing a child.

Duan Linqiu didn't feel anything at all, took off his sunglasses, bowed slightly, "Hi Director Liang Han."

Who dares to be bowed in public by the top class? !

It's not that Liang Han has never seen fan circles being torn apart, so he immediately took a step back, bent down and reached out his hand, "Teacher Duan is too polite."

Duan Linqiu shook hands with him and smiled politely at each other.

Liang Han's smoking plan failed, so he pretended nothing happened and simply led him into the hall.

As soon as I heard that Duan Linqiu had arrived, the hall, which was still a little quiet because of the lunch break at first, immediately boiled.

Lu Siqi and Tong Xun stood up to greet each other in person, shook hands with each other one after another, giving enough face to the top class this summer.

"Thank you, Teacher Lin Qiu, for being willing to come to our project." Lu Siqi greeted with a smile, although she knew that Duan Linqiu's team was ahead, but when it was time to lower her figure, Lu Siqi was unequivocal.

Duan Linqiu seemed a little reserved under such enthusiasm, but Qin Zhijian walked from behind him, introduced himself to Lu Siqi and Tong Xun successively, and got to know each other.

The room was full of hustle and bustle, and the stars surrounded Duan Linqiu like the moon.Instead, Liang Han took a few steps back and didn't join in the fun.

He is not optimistic about Duan Linqiu.

When deciding on the primary list, Liang Han communicated his views with the team members.

Not to mention Anan, the producers and directors are looking forward to Duan Linqiu's joining. He is carrying traffic bonuses and relying on the marketing methods of Da Dao Brokers, which is undoubtedly a powerful addition to the project.However, these factors that everyone considers are too external.When Liang Han asked, he learned that the team members had never watched Duan Linqiu's popular idol drama "First Love Comes Late".

So he randomly found a clip on a video website and showed it to everyone.

The title of the clip is, "The domineering senior flirts with the school girl, and I met a sweet person in the library."

In the opening scene, the hero and heroine played by Duan Linqiu meet by chance in the school library. The girl unconsciously picks up books from the bookshelf, and Duan Linqiu follows behind silently.Soon, the girl locked on one of her target books and reached out to reach for it.Duan Linqiu got the book first, and took advantage of the situation to wrap his arms around the girl from behind.

The girl looked up unexpectedly, and Duan Linqiu was full of smiles, "What a coincidence."

Duan Linqiu smiled so brightly on his originally plain and charming face, it suddenly seemed a little too much.The refreshing temperament of a senior is almost gone, and there is even a strange accent that can't be said.

This episode originally took place during the ambiguous period of the hero and heroine of "First Love Is Late", so the barrage audience called it sweet, charming, and flirtatious.

But for the casting assistant directors of Xingtu Casting, they completely escaped from the plot and simply examined an actor's own ability.The aura and filters given by those plots will disappear, and the answer is self-evident.

Duan Linqiu has no sense of proportion in his performance and uses excessive force, which can easily destroy a fresh and fresh senior personality.

He is not suitable for the leading actor Yun Sheng.

Liang Han watched Qin Zhijian actively socialize with the director and producer, and couldn't help feeling sorry for him.No matter how strong the agent is, it is difficult to escape the limitations of the artist itself.

He took a deep breath, stepped forward to interrupt everyone's chat, and led the formal audition to begin.

Liang Han's eyes briefly intersected with Qin Zhijian's while the crowd was seated. Qin Zhijian smiled at Liang Han, but Liang Han avoided the other's gaze and turned to communicate with the director.

Soon, everyone in the audience returned to the casting work.

As a manager, Qin Zhijian also backed away knowingly, and handed over the home court to the actors to play.

Qin Zhijian actually didn't have any worries about Duan Linqiu. He hadn't brought many artists, but Duan Linqiu was obviously the most obedient and worry-free one among them.

The two of them stayed up almost all night last night. Qin Zhijian forced Duan Linqiu to read all the key passages after reviewing and sorting out the script, and then sorted out himself. For important emotional changes, break them apart and analyze them for Duan Linqiu.

Qin Zhijian knew exactly where Duan Linqiu's shortcomings were.

Duan Linqiu is not very clever in acting, sometimes he uses too much force, and sometimes he looks dull because of being too restrained.Live auditions are easy to expose.

So what he has to do is to let Duan Linqiu show his advantages in other aspects.

The first is his traffic popularity. The last time he ran a hot search, it is enough to explain; the second is to let the main creator feel that Duan Linqiu understands and empathizes with the character, so that even if the performance of a paragraph is not satisfactory, as long as When emotion is in place, there will be room for adjustment.

It is impossible to expect artists to do their homework in private, Qin Zhijian knows it well.As a manager, he could only do his homework in advance, let Duan Linqiu sharpen his guns and copy the homework directly.

Fortunately, Duan Linqiu has a pretty good memory.

Listening to the first few words of his chat, Qin Zhijian knew that Duan Linqiu remembered what they talked about last night.

So Qin Zhijian began to silently scan the expressions of every decision-maker present, inferring their reactions, first the producer, then the director, and then... Liang Han.

Liang Han sat on the outside with his chin resting, holding a pen, and carefully wrote down something on the paper.

Compared with Lu Siqi and Tong Xunze's relaxed and obviously high-ranking demeanor, Liang Han seemed a little too focused.

Qin Zhijian couldn't help thinking, did Liang Han get his status today by relying on his sharpness in the audition?

At first he just observed Liang Han's movements, but soon his thoughts diverged——

Liang Han actually has pierced ears?Why haven't you seen him wearing earrings?Is it grown up?

Liang Han's neck is so long that he doesn't hunch when he sits.The form is so good, it's a pity not to be an artist.

...But it's not a pity, after all, he is gay, and he has more troubles after his debut.

For example, how to solve sex life?With whom?

Thinking of this, Qin Zhijian realized that he had lost his mind at work.

He immediately turned pale, forcing himself to look away and return to the artist.

Liang Han, who was struggling to scribble on the paper, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This Qin Zhijian, why is he always staring at him if he doesn't look at his artist?Count on the unspoken rules of the casting director?
