Rebirth Turn

There is also no agent who does not want the artist he brings to appear in Chen Li's movie.However, it is not appropriate to say that Qin Feng helped Lu Yan take over the film, because he only received an audition opportunity.In the end, it was Lu Yan's own ability to successfully take over the film.

Qin Feng has a lot of contacts and a wide face. When he heard that Chen Li was looking for a leading actor in his next movie, he needed a younger actor with better temperament. Of course, the most important thing is an actor with better acting skills. Qin Feng didn't even care. What is the theme of the movie this time, so I conveyed to Chen Li my intention to give it a try through my relationship.

As such a heavyweight director, Chen Li's selection of actors will naturally not be swayed by others. First of all, he has to be responsible for his own film, and secondly, he has to be responsible for the investors. His failure is absolutely unforgivable.

Once many years ago, a wealthy investor asked Chen Li to take a supporting actress position for an actress he liked, but the actress had no looks but no acting skills. The requirements are quite high.At that time, Chen Li was not as famous as he is now. He was still a young director struggling to find investment, but he did not compromise. He would rather look for investment again than accept such an arrangement. In the end, the investor compromised.

Chen Li's tough temper is well known in the circle, just like the good reputation of his movies, no one dares to stroke his beard.But with Qin Feng's influence in the circle, it's not a problem to get an audition spot.

According to Qin Feng's knowledge, this time, including Lu Yan, there were only three people who participated in the audition.It can be seen that even the opportunity to audition is not so easy to get.

Qin Feng also inquired about the other two people. One was Chu Yushan and the other was Jiang Mengyan. They were also very young, less than 30 years old.

Chu Yushan was born as a child actor. He became famous when he was a child because he starred in a war movie with children as the main characters.At that time, he was so popular that one tenth of the little boys born in the country were named after his character in the movie or a homonym.He also became the youngest actor in the history of Baicao Awards.After that, he also took on a few films, but almost all of them were of the same type, without much breakthrough.Then, because of his studies, he stayed away from the entertainment industry, and when he returned to college, it was no longer the world of the past.

Chu Yushan was a soft and cute lady when she was a child, but fortunately, she didn't look crooked when she grew up, and she was even more sunny and handsome.It is precisely because of this appearance advantage that he did not fade away from everyone when he grew up like other child stars.Also because of the foundation he had when he was a child, he took over and filmed several movies and TV shows that were not bad. At first, he was a male supporting role, and in the past two years he started to play the leading role. Although he failed to reach the most brilliant height of his childhood, he has been walking slowly. ascent.

Jiang Mengyan is an actor who has gained momentum in recent years.When he debuted, he was about the same age as Lu Yan a few years ago. At the beginning, he was unknown, and he played all the roles of men and women, and the best ones were no more than three men and four men.It wasn't until he married Martha, the smash hit actress at the time, that things began to turn around.Because of my wife, I took a small-budget movie and became the leading actor. I didn’t expect that movie to become popular, and even with him as the leading actor, the popularity soared. The next few movies and TV series also played triumphant songs all the way. In this way, Jiang Mengyan ranked among the first and second tiers in China.But so far, some people still say that he relies on his wife, which makes him very uncomfortable.

The so-called know yourself and know the enemy, and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles.After knowing Lu Yan's opponent, Qin Feng felt relieved. Although the other two actors were also very high-quality actors, Qin Feng believed that Lu Yan was more capable.

The location of the audition is not in any office, but in a serious studio, where photography, lighting, make-up and styling are all available, just like the real shooting, which shows that the director Chen Li attaches great importance to it.

Lu Yan was the first to arrive, followed by Chu Yushan, and Jiang Mengyan was the last to arrive, but the difference was less than 10 minutes before and after, and there was nothing to do when the big-name actors arrived in front of Chen Li. Without further ado, Li asked them to change their clothes and make up first.At the same time, let them discuss their own order, anyway, there are only three people.

Both Chu Yushan and Jiang Mengyan were hesitant. Although only three people participated in the audition, the sequence is still very important. Chen Li obviously did not plan to conduct a closed audition, and the other two could watch from the sidelines.In this way, whoever is the first will of course suffer a bit, and the people behind can not only refer to the performance methods of the people in front, but also avoid shortcomings.Of course, the people behind are not without risks. If the performers in the front perform too well, it will be more likely to cause pressure on the latecomers.

Seeing that neither of them spoke, Lu Yan smiled, "How about I be the first one? It just so happened that I was the first one to arrive."

Jiang Mengyan immediately agreed, and took advantage of the situation, "Then we will follow the order in which we came, and I will be the last."

Chu Yushan had no objection either, so it was decided.

After making a decision, I started applying makeup separately.Chen Li prepared very thoughtfully. Whether it was clothing or make-up, they were done in triplicate, so no one had to wait, and they could do it at the same time.

When putting on makeup, Lu Yan was once again praised by the makeup artist for her good skin, and her facial features are well-defined, with sharp edges and corners. It is very easy to apply makeup, and there are even fewer areas that need to be touched up.

After that, wear a hood and change clothes.Thinking about it since his debut, this is still the first costume drama, if he can continue smoothly.It is also the first time to wear ancient costumes.In her previous life, Lu Yan had played supporting roles in costume dramas, but the treatment of the supporting characters and the leading role was very different.At that time, the costumes he wore were all dirty and long-handed, and the quality was very poor. It was like wearing a layer of curtain cloth on the body, and it was still of low quality.Of course you can't see it under lighting.

The suit I'm wearing today is different. It's well-cut, high-quality, looks good, feels comfortable, and is brand new.Of course, this is not because Lu Yan has privileges. The other two sets are also brand new. It is said that because of the war scene, he was afraid that the clothes would be easily damaged, so he simply made three sets in one go, but two sets are green and one is scarlet.

When Wang Xuance was sent as an envoy, the officials were from the seventh rank, and the official uniforms of the Tang Dynasty were green. Later, after making meritorious service and returning to China, when the official was promoted to the fifth rank, he was able to wear scarlet.The film also starts from the mission to the return to the court for rewards, so the costumes of two colors are ready.

Chen Li has made quite a few historical films. He has always paid attention to details and consulted historical experts every time he shoots a film.For example, the current outfit on Lu Yan's body is scarlet color, which is Wang Xuance's costume after he returned to the court and received an award, with small flowers and gold ornaments.The other two sets are green with silver ornaments.There are two kinds of head crowns: hat and turban, both of which are black. It is better to wear a crown on formal occasions, and tie a turban on informal occasions.At this moment, the stylist put on a hat for Lu Yan, with a hair cover inside, and the well-groomed sideburns are very refreshing.

The makeup and styling took about an hour, but the director was very patient and did not rush.

The three of them almost came out of the dressing room together. Except for the color, the clothing styles of the three of them are all the same. This comparison is even more obvious.

If you take it out alone, you can't say that there is anything wrong with Chu Yushan and Jiang Mengyan, but these people are like things, and the most fearful thing is comparison.

Lu Yan was originally the tallest of the three, and Chu Yushan was not inferior to him in appearance, but Lu Yan's profile was deeper and his temperament was good, which made him look more imposing and stand out from the crowd.In addition, his scarlet clothes are more conspicuous than the green of the other two.

Almost everyone's first glance fell on Lu Yan, and they marveled for a while before noticing the other two.

Lu Yan's eyes were calm, his expression was indifferent, neither too humble nor too arrogant.Chu Yushan and Jiang Mengyan's faces were a little unhappy, Chu Yushan was a little frustrated, and Jiang Mengyan was annoyed.

Chen Li looked at it for a while. As a director, he had to consider it comprehensively.Although Lu Yan's appearance had already given him points, Chen Li didn't have much preference, but when he noticed the different looks of the three of them, he felt more favorable towards Lu Yan.Be it flattering or not, he does a great job acting or not.But the final decision still depends on their performance.

Chen Li said, "Have you discussed who will go first?"

Chu Yushan and Jiang Mengyan glanced at each other without speaking.Lu Yan stepped forward and smiled slightly, "I'll come first."

This part of the audition is exactly the part where Wang Xuance persuaded the king to lend him troops in the Kingdom of Nepal.

This movie has two major scenes, one is of course the brilliant war scene of "one man destroys one country"; the other is this literary drama.

As a foreign envoy, Wang Xuance has not been sent to Nepal as an envoy. In addition, he escaped from another country's cage before, so he does not have a Guandu diploma.He almost moved the king of Nepal with just one mouth, and the difficulty is no less than that of Zhuge Kongming's verbal battle against the Confucians.But he did it!

Chen Li's intention to choose this scene as an audition is also obvious. This part is the most test of the actor's acting skills and realization ability. If this part can be controlled well, then it will definitely not be a problem to control the whole movie.If not, then there is no need to continue.

There are naturally a lot of lines in this paragraph, but memorizing lines has never been a problem for Lu Yan.

Like the official start of filming, the camera was ready to be in place, and after the director said the start, Lu Yan entered the role.

Although this was a solo performance without an opponent, Lu Yan's rhythm was well grasped.When it comes to the behavior of the rebel country, it is anger and condemnation. It talks about the pride and self-confidence from the great power of the Celestial Dynasty. It talks about the affinity of the marriage between Princess Wencheng and Songtsen Gampo. There is also a lure to show favor.The tone is neither urgent nor slow, and the voice is cadenced.The body language is also spot on.Everyone present nodded frequently, thinking that if I were the king of Nepal, I would agree.

After the performance, even Chen Li, who has always been very demanding, smiled and gave a good compliment.

Lu Yan smiled, stepped aside, and made a "please" gesture to Chu Yushan.

Chu Yushan had already retreated in his heart. Lu Yan's momentum was too strong, and the pressure to perform after him was too great. He already regretted letting Lu Yan audition for the first time, and Jiang Mengyan thought the same.

But since it's already here, I can only bite the bullet.Affected by Lu Yan's dominance, Chu Yushan's originally prepared performance did not perform at all, and even forgot his words several times in the middle.When it was over, he was too frustrated to speak.

Jiang Mengyan's situation was not much better than him, because with Chu Yushan's performance as a buffer, he did not forget his words, but his lines were not very smooth, let alone body language, Jiang Mengyan You don't need to look at the camera to know that you are too stiff.

There was no suspense in the result, and Lu Yan's superb performance made no one else feel unconvinced.Chen Li decided on the spot that Lu Yan would play the leading role, and asked the assistant director to make an appointment with the agent to sign the contract.

After announcing the result, Chu Yushan came over and shook hands with Lu Yan, with a forced but sincere smile, "You are great, I am very convinced!"

Lu Yan said thank you.

As for Jiang Mengyan, he left without even saying hello, and the manager apologized to the director.

Walking out of the studio, Qin Feng sighed and said excitedly, "I knew you would be able to do it! Just now you acted really well."

Lu Yan smiled, "I think it's not bad, too."

"Heh, I just acted in Wang Yi's play, and now it's Chen Li again. The two best directors in the country, tsk tsk, I'm starting to envy you." Qin Feng said jokingly.

"I also feel very lucky." Lu Yan said with a smile.

Qin Feng grabbed his shoulders and said in a low voice, "I'm very optimistic that you will win another international award in this drama."

Lu Yan glanced at him, and said in a low-key manner, "For things like winning awards, you still have to follow fate. But I think it's very good to be able to cooperate with Director Chen Da. I think I can probably learn a lot this time."

The two arrived at the parking lot together. They came separately before, so Qin Feng was taken aback when he saw Lu Yan's car, "Damn, Aston Martin! Where did you get such a cool sports car?"

He is very clear about Lu Yan's financial situation, and he is not yet able to buy such a good car.

Lu Yan smiled, "I borrowed it, and I will return it tonight."

"Oh, when did you make such a rich friend? I don't know." Qin teased.

"Secret." Lu Yan replied with a smile.

Qin Feng asked casually and changed the subject, "Why didn't that kid Song Hui follow today?"

"I still have something to do in the evening, so I might as well give him a day off. He is tired after following me every day." Lu Yan said.

Qin Feng smiled, "You boss is really considerate."

"It should." Lu Yan was not polite.

After Lu Yan got into the car, Qin Feng seemed to have thought of something, and said, "By the way, Lu Yan, your contract with Xingkong will expire when the filming of this film is finished. What are your plans?"

Lu Yan was stunned for a moment, he really didn't think much about it, it's been three years so fast.

He shook his head, "I haven't figured it out yet."

Qin Feng frowned, "Then you have time to think about it carefully, this matter should be decided as soon as possible, it is related to your future."

Lu Yan nodded and said cautiously, "I will."
