Super star

"Don't be too nervous, there are father's friends in this film, and they will help you when the time comes." Ding Yichi said with a smile.

Ding Xi is 14 years old, but Ding Yichi is still not old, but he is still a mature, handsome and attractive handsome man. This is the strange situation in this circle. Ding Yichi It's not that Chi is not old, it's just that he is much, much younger than his peers outside the circle.

"Just a week after the audition?" Ding Xi frowned.

He is in the period of voice change, but luckily it is almost over. Compared with his childhood voice, his voice at this time is obviously deeper and much better than his childhood voice, and his deep voice has gradually begun to take shape.

"Don't worry baby, the audition will be fine if there are no accidents! My baby's acting skills are so good!" Feng Li also laughed.

Ding Xi: "..." He is not four years old anymore, can you please stop calling him baby?

In the past few years, apart from the "North and North" series, Ding Xi has filmed two more movies with Feng Li. After all, she is also his mother in this life. Feng Li himself is very fond of Ding Xi's acting skills. I got acquainted.

Looking down at the script in hand, Ding Xi frowned.

Over the past few years, his English has not been a big problem, but this only means that he has no problem with English courses and oral English. Some professional vocabulary, there are still problems. He read the script and glanced over it. There are several words that I don't know.

"It happens to be summer vacation, Lanlan can go with you too." Lin An looked at his quiet son and said.

Ding Xi glanced at He Wanglan, he thought, his parents can only be said to be incompetent, and He Wanglan's mother is also pretty, as long as it is about himself, Lin An can't wait to let He Wanglan take care of himself , in this era, He Wanglan is also an individual, but Lin An hopes that he will always be by his side...

Although He Wanglan seemed to be happy with it, but this attitude was also distorted, right?

He Wanglan has always been very low-key. After entering high school, the school does not allow boys to have too long hair, so he can only cut his hair short. Some boys have longer hair to look better. There is a saying It is said that hairstyle is everything, after being shaved to a small size, the appearance will drop several grades.

However, He Wanglan...he is the opposite.

He originally grew his hair and bangs to cover up some of his appearance, but now he shaved it short, even if it was just an ordinary size, but once his face was fully exposed, it would be extremely lethal. For a few years, I was only able to receive a few love letters every month, but now I can receive several love letters any day!

In school, He Wanglan maintains the highest level in the school, with good academic performance, good looks and aloofness, so it is not surprising that he was named the new campus male god.

"I've read this novel." He Wanglan said suddenly, "The domestic translation is called "Ice Fire and Dragon Spear". It's a standard western fantasy novel. It's probably not a small investment to make this kind of film."

Ding Yichi nodded, "That's right, it's the highlight of Hollywood this year, with an investment of more than [-] million US dollars. Once this is signed, it will be three films, a trilogy."

Ding Xi: "..."

"However, the role given to Xiaoxi by the other party is only a supporting role. Although it is a supporting role, it is still the main supporting role. It is good to practice."

Ding Xi sighed, "Okay, okay, I will go to the audition in a week."

After finally sending Ding Yichi and Feng Li away, he looked at He Wanglan, "Are there any domestic translations?"

"Yes!" He Wanglan nodded and said, "But I suggest you read the original version. I don't think the translated version is very good."

Ding Xi said angrily, "Do you think I am you?" His English is fine, and he is ahead of his classmates in school, but it is still quite difficult for him to read the original document, okay?

In fact, "Ice Fire and Dragon Spear" is not very well translated, whether it is the title or the content of the book. The reason is that this novel is full of strong Western fantasy colors. Many things... are not so easy to translate, but magicians, knights The composition of , pastor is also very popular in China. Nowadays, several Western Fantasy online games are operating well in China, and this novel has some audiences in China. Compared with foreign countries, it is definitely incomparable.

This set of novels has been popular in European and American countries for more than ten years, and it has been on the sales charts from time to time. In the early years, some filmmakers wanted to make it into a movie, but it was too difficult to shoot, so it was put on hold for a while. , was revisited this year.

"Since it's a western fantasy novel, how could there be a supporting role for me?" Ding Xi muttered.

He Wanglan said directly, "Because in this set of novels, there is a supporting role that is not too important but indispensable. It is an oriental wizard."

Ding Xi was speechless: "Since when are there wizards in the East?"

"The West's understanding of the East is mysterious. We like to play martial arts and cultivating immortals in China. The West is different. They think that it is the witchcraft of the East. In "Ice Fire and Dragon Spear", there are elves, orcs, and humans. There are many characters such as magician, knight, priest and thief, but the role of the oriental wizard is really a relatively important supporting role." He Wanglan explained to him.

Ding Xi flipped through the script, "There don't seem to be many scenes."

"Yes, but it's very important. A mysterious oriental wizard who will always look like a teenager. He will never age or die. He is not considered a villain, but he is not a positive person either." He Wanglan explained in a few words.

Ding Xi sighed, "Fortunately, there are not many lines."

...There are not many lines, but it is not easy to act, because this character is mystic, and the lack of lines means that the eyes, demeanor and body language should be more able to show the personality and characteristics of this character.

Moreover, Ding Xi doesn't pay much attention to foreign countries at all, and even seldom watches foreign movies. How to perform in order to meet the requirements of foreign countries is a matter of strength. He can now grasp the proportions of domestic movies. There are some differences, too shallow will not work, and too much force will violate harmony?

To make a Hollywood movie, even if he plays a unique oriental wizard, he can't be separated from the whole movie.

"Don't worry, I will help you." He Wanglan said seriously.

Ding Xi looked at the script, "Yes."

In the next week, Ding Xi looked for more than a dozen foreign movies to watch, only watching those well-known characters who showed their acting skills, and found a few movies with a magical or fantasy style. .

Then there is the content of preparing for the audition.

A week passed quickly. Two days in advance, Ding Yichi took Ding Xi to the United States. In fact, in the past two years, Ding Yichi gradually took on fewer scenes. Feng Li was busier than him. This time it was Ding Yichi. Yichi went with his two children, and Wang Ke, who had simply become Ding Xi's temporary manager and assistant.

In the United States in July, the weather is also very hot. Ding Yichi's clothes are quite low-key, but there are still a few movie fans abroad who recognized him, and then cast curious eyes on the two children beside him.

At the airport that day, He Wanglan was still wearing his black-rimmed glasses to conceal his beauty, but he couldn't hide much of his beauty. The blood of the flower demon had an amazing effect on him. The eyes are definitely not to the extent that ordinary people can resist.

Contrary to his appearance, his clothes are simple. He has always been just an ordinary T-shirt and jeans, but at the age of sixteen or seventeen, he cannot be younger. He is tall and his long legs are really attractive. , So those fans couldn't help but look at him again and again.

In comparison, Ding Xi next to him is also very eye-catching, with a light gray sweater, dark blue jeans, and a delicate face that is clean and refreshing. Ding Xi doesn't like wearing glasses, and he is always a little uncomfortable , If he is in China, he really needs sunglasses... because there will be reporters or fans with camera flashes, but when he is abroad, he just comes out so refreshingly.

A 14-year-old boy is at the age of tallness, Ding Yichi and Feng Li are not short, and the children are developing well these days, Ding Xi will definitely not be too short, only half a head shorter than He Wanglan.

The attractive thing about Ding Xi is that he always has a smile on his face, not a polite smile, but a smile with slightly curved brows and eyes, with a bit of laziness, but a natural and peaceful smile kind of laugh.

"Let's go to the hotel first." Ding Yichi said.

Others, of course, have no objection.

The audition was on the second day, and they still had jet lag when they arrived in the United States, so they took a nap in the hotel to recharge their batteries.

"Are you nervous?" Ding Yichi said with a smile on the way to the audition.

Ding Xi smiled and shook his head.

Is he really not nervous, nervous?What the hell is that? When he came down the mountain and killed the first person, he was never nervous, let alone just auditioning.

In China, he almost never needs to audition, and the roles are all decided directly. The identities of Ding Yichi and Feng Li are placed there, and he rarely needs to compete with others for a role.

This time is different, he needs to compete with others.

Ding Yichi has won four awards internationally. He is not as famous as a superstar in China, but he is also well-known abroad. This time Ding Xi can get the audition qualification because Ding Yichi's friend Horn Bryce has After deciding to play a main role in this series of films, Horn recommended Ding Xi to the director.

Therefore, this is the first time that Ding Xi has tried a competition without "insider information".

Because this role requires an oriental face, the competition among the other audition actors is not strong. In addition to Ding Xi, there are three teenagers who came to audition, all of them are Chinese, and their English level must be better than Ding Xi, but Ding Xi What is better than them is years of acting experience.

Ding Xi has been acting since he was seven years old, and because he starred in the "North and North" series, this series of movies also have a good box office abroad, so he is not an unknown new actor. This kind of experience is the biggest confidence in his audition.

"Here we are." The driver who drove them was Horn's friend, a passionate woman in her thirties.

"Thank you." Several people thanked them and got out of the car.

To Ding Xi's surprise, the audition took place in a dilapidated building.

"Uh, what is that?" Ding Xi suddenly saw the familiar flower.

He Wanglan remained expressionless, "This is Hollywood, in Los Angeles, California. Don't you know that the city flower of Los Angeles is the bird of paradise?"

Ding Xi: "..."

Bird of Paradise is Strelitzia, no wonder after getting off the plane, I see...familiar flowers everywhere. =_=

"Come on in, the summer in Los Angeles is really hot." Ding Yichi said with a frown.

It was hot outside, and it was much cooler once we entered the building.

The people who came to audition today are not only the role of the Eastern Wizard, but also several other main supporting roles, because this is a Hollywood blockbuster with a huge investment. Downstairs, there are at least a few hundred...

Fortunately, there are still very few people auditioning for his role.

There were too many roles to audition for today, and the director had no skills at all. In the end, the assistant director of the film, a standard American with beards, came to audition for Ding Xi.

As soon as Ding Xi walked in, she felt very stuffy. Sitting next to the assistant director was one of the makeup artists in the crew. As soon as Ding Xi entered, she nodded immediately.

The role of an oriental wizard requires makeup. It depends on whether the face is suitable for the makeup she designed in advance, and then in the end, she has to look at the effect of the mirror, and Ding Xi's face... In fact, it is really Very photogenic.

The assistant director said directly: "Okay, just show me, if you are that wizard... Well, have you read the script?"

"I've seen it." Ding Xi replied with a smile.

"Then show me the scene where Siri came to ask you about the Art of Life."

Ding Xi took a deep breath, and when he raised his head again, the smile on his face had disappeared.

The pupils of his eyes are extremely dark. The eyes of people of yellow race are said to have black pupils. In fact, there are very few truly pure black pupils, and they are more inclined to dark brown. Ding Xi's pupils are darker than ordinary people's pupils.

When he was performing, the other three teenagers who came to audition sat on the chairs beside him and looked over curiously.

"The art of life?" Ding Xi read a line softly.

With just a few simple words, the assistant director's eyes lit up.

There is a big difference between experienced and inexperienced.

Especially when Ding Xi turned his body sideways to act, when he turned his head slightly to look at it, even he looked a little scary, almost carrying a suffocating coercion.

Eyes, those are too deep, in the depths, they even seem to have a touch of blood.

This oriental wizard, who was good at witchcraft, was a person who survived a long time ago catastrophe.

The assistant director couldn't help but lower his head to look at the documents in his hand.

Ding Xi, 14 years old.

...is this something a 14-year-old can show?

incredible.
