After Song Zhen and Huo Wenqian finished their rehearsal and walked out of the room, the furniture outside had been set aside, leaving a large area in the middle for an audition.
Cameras, lights, and boom mics are all ready.
Lin Jinyan and Wu Feihang are already sitting behind the monitor and getting ready.
The photography assistant came over and told them about the location and shooting angle.
Song Zhen silently remembered, then walked to the seat, knelt on the futon, and slowly closed her eyes.
This is his habit of acting. When he performed on the school stage in the past, he also calmed down and entered the character state like this.
Huo Wenqian gave him a complicated look, and then forced himself to concentrate.
Urged by his assistant, he slowly knelt down on the futon on the other side.
With an "a".
Accompanied by the sound of the machine turning, the two opened their eyes almost at the same time.
Song Zhen looked around to the left and right, and whispered: "Senior Brother, Senior Brother..."
Huo Wenqian showed a helpless smile: "Don't make trouble, Master will find out later, be careful and you will be punished again."
Song Zhen turned his face sideways, and said slyly: "I just took a peek, Master seems to be gone..."
At this moment, a mobile phone rang suddenly in the quiet room, interrupting the scene between the two of them.
Lin Jinyan's assistant hurriedly looked for the phone.
Lin Jinyan scolded him in a low voice, told him to go to the next room, and said, "Start again."
The scene began to adjust again.
Song Zhen let out a breath slowly, closed his eyes to adjust his emotions, and prepared to start again later.
But he didn't hear Lin Jinyan yell "a" again.
The assistant whispered something next to Lin Jinyan, Lin Jinyan frowned, and his expression was very ugly: "How do you do things!!"
The assistant kept apologizing, and Wu Feihang seemed to be asking what happened.
The scene suddenly became chaotic, and Song Zhen couldn't calm down. He opened his eyes and asked the photography assistant who was eating melons on his feet: "What's wrong?"
The camera assistant said: "Brother Li seems to have made a mistake and arranged for another group of actors to audition for today."
Brother Li is Lin Jinyan's assistant and Lin Jinyan's nephew.
He has a bit of a careless personality and often loses things, but this is the first time he has made such a mistake.
Now that the other group of actors has arrived at the hotel, they can't just send them away.
Lin Jinyan scolded his nephew, but he still had to come out and clean up the mess for him.
He stopped the machine at the scene and said, "Xiao Song, Xiao Huo, I have something to discuss with you."
"There is another group of audition actors, do you recognize Gu Yulin? He has to catch a plane to go abroad tonight, so the audition time has been adjusted to this afternoon."
"If you don't mind, how about auditioning together today? If you mind, we can make an appointment next time."
At this time, no matter how much you mind in your heart, you have to say that you don't mind.
Otherwise, he would offend both Lin Jinyan and Gu Yulin.
After all, this is the film industry. Song Zhen is still a newcomer, so of course he can't offend anyone for such a trivial matter.
He and Huo Wenqian looked at each other, and said with a smile: "I don't mind, just follow what Director Lin said."
Since there was no way to act, Song Zhen sat next to him and waited for another group of actors to come over.
Huo Wenqian stood, seemingly contemplating, but actually the thoughts in his heart were rolling like bubbles.
He knew that director Lin's film opportunity was rare, and he should care about another group of actors coming soon, or focus on the play, but he couldn't control his thoughts at the moment.
He glanced at Song Zhen.
Song Zhen frowned slightly, subconsciously biting his nails.
Huo Wenqian knew that when Song Zhen was anxious, he had the habit of biting his nails.
He was worried about being seen, so he walked over to stop Song Zhen.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
A man walked in with a smile: "I'm sorry, Director Lin, Mr. Wu, I kept you guys waiting for so long."
He is Gu Yulin. Although he can only be regarded as a second-tier actor in the film industry, he has a good family background and comes from the Chinese and Beijing cultural circles.
Both Lin Jinyan and Wu Feihang knew his parents, and the scene was full of joy.
Song Zhen's eyes fell on the person behind him.
The man had a face very similar to his, and he greeted Gu Yulin and Director Lin humbly.
It was Song Shan.
Song Zhen suddenly understood.
Why did the audition time suddenly crash.
He had just listened to gossip from the photography assistant. The original script of "Watching Chess" was written by Lin Jinyan's best friend, and it was about his childhood chess story.
Lin Jinyan has been preparing for many years to realize his best friend's dream, and the project was officially approved this year, but the filming has not started for a long time, in order to find an actor who looks like his best friend to play the role of junior.
And Song Zhen and Song Shan happened to both look like his best friend.
This audition is not so much about how well the two groups of actors perform, but rather a duel between Song Zhen and Song Shan.
Gu Yulin and Huo Wenqian were just their foils.
Gu Yulin was well informed, so he must have known about this for a long time.
In the same passage, the one who performed first will naturally have the upper hand. Unless the latecomer is too good, the former will give Lin Jinyan a preconceived impression, and it will be difficult to please him.
The camera assistant said that the only audition actors were Gu Yulin and Song Shan. After all, Song Zhen didn't have many film and television materials.
But Lin Jinyan's friend, Dai Ming recommended Song Zhen to him.
When Dai Ming and Song Zhen participated in "Best Actor" together as mentors, Song Zhen once performed on stage, which made Dai Ming full of praise.
Because it was a short notice and Song Zhen had time, he set the audition time for today.
It was because of this that Gu Yulin didn't have time to deal with it, so he could only use such a blunt method to forcefully intervene.
After Gu Yulin, Lin Jinyan and the others finished their narration, they seemed embarrassed and said, "Guys, I have to catch a plane tonight, so I'm afraid it will be late, can we have an audition first?"
At this time, Huo Wenqian also guessed what was tricky here, frowning and was about to speak, but was stopped by Song Zhen.
"There are two scenes in total. We have already prepared the first part here, and everything has been arranged, so it won't take much time. Why don't you let us try the first part first, and you two just take advantage of this time, Match the two parts of the play, we will finish the performance in a while, and you will perform two parts in a row, so there is still time."
Song Zhen paused, then asked Lin Jinyan and Wu Feihang: "Director Lin, Mr. Wu, what do you think?"
This method is quite fair, and Song Zhen and the others had originally auditioned first, so it is already very good to take a step back.
Lin Jinyan nodded, and was about to let someone make this arrangement.
Song Shan said timidly: "We have already met each other in the car, and we won't waste time. Brother Yulin still has to catch a plane, why don't you let us go."
Although Gu Yulin felt that Song Shan's words were not pleasant, he actually thought so, so he didn't speak out.
For a great director like Lin Jinyan, he has never been interrupted like this, and he feels a little uncomfortable, but he will not be seen by others, he just doesn't speak.
In the end, Wu Feihang came out to smooth things over: "Okay, is it so important to come first? The most important thing is to act well. ——Are you right, Xiao Song?"
The last sentence was addressed to Song Zhen.
Song Zhen was taken aback.
He is not a good-tempered person who will give in. He only retreated half a step because of Lin Jinyan and Wu Feihang's face, but when he heard Song Shan's speech like a white lotus, he was already so angry that he was ready to come out and fight him hard. Resented.
But at this moment when he heard Wu Feihang say that, he suddenly calmed down.
His eyes swept over Song Shan and Gu Yulin, and the corners of his lips suddenly curled up: "Old Wu is right, why bother to be the first, retreat is to advance, and the endgame can be resolved."
He bowed calmly and asked, "You two go first."
Gu Yulin and Song Shanqi all changed their faces.
"To retreat is to advance, and the endgame can be solved."
It is the sentence that the master reminds the brothers in "Watching Games", which is also the core idea of the whole movie.
What Gu Yulin and Song Shan are doing at this moment runs counter to the core idea of the movie.
Before the audition, he had already lost a city.
With one sentence, Wu Feihang easily resolved the contradiction and won the awe-inspiring eyes of the audience.
But he also knew that it was thanks to Song Zhen's flexible mind that he understood what he meant, so he made such a beautiful counterattack.
He smiled and patted Song Zhen on the shoulder: "Good boy, go to the old man's house when you have time."
Lin Jinyan also followed suit and said, "Not everyone can go to Wu's hometown. This is treating you like a nephew."
This bright admiration made Song Shan bit his lip again.
He hated it.
Obviously, he and Gu Yulin successfully got the priority order, but compared with Song Zhen, it seemed like they lost.
After all, Gu Yulin still had experience, so he calmed down quickly, and patted Song Shan on the shoulder: "It's okay, I will act well in a while, even if I am a little clever, it's okay to rely on acting skills in the end."
"We have rehearsed so many times, and we must have a tacit understanding than them. As long as we don't make mistakes, they have no chance!"
Song Shan's constricted heart gradually relaxed.
Gu Yulin was right, the last thing to look at was acting.
They act first, and that's where the advantage lies. Song Zhen said later that what was performed in the end was nothing more than the wisdom of others.
He won't give Song Zhen a chance.
On the other side, Huo Wenqian also worriedly said to Song Zhen: "No matter how much Mr. Wu appreciates it, he can't influence the result of the audition after all. Two identical scenes are so close to each other, Director Lin will definitely be affected..."
He paused: "I know you are good at improvisation, but you don't know Director Lin's habits. He hates actors changing the script at will. We can only act according to the script."
Unexpectedly, Song Zhen didn't panic at all: "I know, I don't intend to change the script either."
Huo Wenqian: "Then you..."
Song Zhen smiled: "Changing the script is the job of the screenwriter, not an actor, and an actor should use his acting skills to defeat his opponents."
He spoke lightly, but there was a burning light in his eyes.
Huo Wenqian was startled.
Song Zhen was so dazzling at this moment that he couldn't look away.
He couldn't help stretching out his hand, but when he was about to touch Song Zhen, he retracted it again.
He remembered what Song Zhen said to him, his contempt.
He used to think that he knew Song Zhen very well, but after breaking up, he realized how shallow his understanding was.
Regrets surged in his heart, if the two people's acquaintance at the beginning did not have those calculations, it would be great.
That way, they are still lovers at the moment, he doesn't have to suppress the longing in his heart, and he doesn't even dare to reach out.
Just when Huo Wenqian was in a trance, Song Shan and Gu Yulin's performance had ended.
They performed very well, and Song Shanyan's junior also received frequent nods from Lin Jinyan.
Song Shan breathed a sigh of relief, but then felt a little complacent.
In order to get this role, he specifically found all the information of Director Lin's close friend, and almost imitated his performance.
After the end, Director Lin looked at him with a nostalgic expression: "When I saw your performance just now, I almost thought that my best friend was resurrected. You are so like him."
This is equivalent to announcing the result.
Gu Yulin suppressed his joy and patted Song Shan on the shoulder encouragingly.
Huo Wenqian couldn't help but looked at Song Zhen worriedly, but found that he was still calm, as if he hadn't been affected by Director Lin's words.
Gu Yulin didn't talk about catching the plane at this time.
He and Song Shan gave up the performance venue and were going to watch Song Zhen and Huo Wenqian's performance.
Song Shan couldn't help showing a provocative look at Song Zhen.
Unexpectedly, Song Zhen laughed, and said in a low voice when passing by.
"The same trick can't be used twice."
"I said, either you have the ability and don't let me have a chance to succeed, otherwise I will let you spit out whatever you eat!"
Cameras, lights, and boom mics are all ready.
Lin Jinyan and Wu Feihang are already sitting behind the monitor and getting ready.
The photography assistant came over and told them about the location and shooting angle.
Song Zhen silently remembered, then walked to the seat, knelt on the futon, and slowly closed her eyes.
