back to innocence

The first person to enter the venue was a little girl who looked like she was only in junior high school. She was not very tall, but she was a little baby fat and overweight.

Fei Yi really knew it was not good just by looking at the appearance, the little girl in the setting is a pretty little beauty, although Fei Yi really thinks that such a little fat girl might be able to show that the food in her family is really good enough to make her The identity of the owner of the restaurant seems to be more real, but unfortunately...in this world, the beauty of the little fat girl is not recognized.

Sure enough, he took a look at Hua Feng, who was in charge of the producer of the show, and found that the other party shook his head invisibly at Liang Qing.

In fact, such a form of application is often based on appearance.If the appearance or temperament is not suitable, no matter how good the performance is in the future, it will be enough, not to mention that a little girl like this who came here purely with a dream of becoming a star may not really have any foundation and preparation for ten years of hard work.

The little fat girl didn't lose that little fat before the audition, obviously she had lost one step to others.Sure enough, the producer and director just asked a few random questions and let her go out.

The girls who came in next also had various appearance problems, and were rejected for various reasons.In fact, in Fei Yizhen's opinion, if it's just a matter of appearance, he can directly screen through resumes from the very beginning, and he doesn't have to make a decision on the spot. All the people who come here are counted in, so it can be said that all comers are welcome.

The whole morning can be said to be no progress.There are not many children who have to be perfect in appearance and completely conform to the setting, but in comparison, there are even fewer children who can show no timidity in front of the camera and have a decent temperament.

It stands to reason that in this kind of audition occasion, the children who can enter the audition should at least be more beautiful.But because Huafeng's tone is not to make any requirements, as long as the most suitable actors are selected, it is inevitable that some children who actually have little hope want to come and try their luck, so that many people will come to participate in the selection. Also more varied.

In the three hours in the morning, Fei Yizhen and others tried more than 100 children, but none of them basically met the requirements.There are various reasons for this. Some of them are inappropriate in appearance, either because they are well-nourished or they look too thin and lack roundness—this little beauty would not look good if she was fat, but if she doesn’t have a round and tender face, It's a little less childish and cute.In addition to appearance, temperament is also a big problem.

It is not temperament, but tolerance.Temperament, sometimes it is hard to see, it is composed of various factors, behaviors, clothing, all have an impact, but temperament can be revealed undoubtedly with just a question and answer.

A little girl who stutters when talking to her is naturally unable to act, and neither is a girl who is too crazy regardless of the occasion.

After filtering in this way, there are still a few left. ?

The producer stroked his forehead, apparently the whole morning audition had given him a headache.Liang Qing also felt a little bored, but in the past two years he has seen a lot of things, he has become a lot more mature, and his tolerance for many things has also increased, but he has not shown obvious impatience.

The producer even sighed: "Actors like Mo Hanxue are not so easy to be discovered."

Fei Yi really smiled.

Of course, Mo Hanxue was not so easy to spot. He had seen so many people, and Mo Hanxue was the only one who could be marked with that kind of praise by the strange device on his eyes.In fact, in theory, Fei Yizhen can also tell whether a person has a certain talent, but the premise is that the person has at least been exposed to this kind of activities.

For such a group of children who may never know if they will have a chance to act when they go home today, Fei Yizhen can't judge just by such a light curtain attached to the retina.What's more, it is still difficult for him to judge the principle on which this light curtain is made, and whether it is really accurate. Instead, it is more reliable to rely on himself.

After a while, Fei Yizhen suggested: "How about we change the method?"

"what way?"

"Let's start now, instead of auditioning one by one, divide the people into groups of seven and call them, let each of them laugh, and then choose the one with the strongest sense of presence-this is much faster, and also It can’t be regarded as perfunctory. In the afternoon, people can push a camera in, and let the photographer come in, so as to give people the illusion that they are under the lens, so that they can also see the other party’s camera sense by the way.”

That's not a bad idea.The producer quickly agreed.

Then in the afternoon, the producer followed Fei Yizhen's suggestion and called the girls in in groups.

This selection is indeed much more convenient and intuitive than in the morning.

Speaking of it, being an actor is a profession that needs to show a sense of presence, but it is hard to describe something like a sense of presence.Some people have a particularly strong sense of presence, even if they are not very good in appearance, but they can still impress people. Some people call this kind of recognition, some people call it temperament, and some call it It's called personality, but in any case, it's a quality that a star must have.

But if the girls are lined up, even if it's just an ordinary smile, the individual characteristics can be seen more easily - who smiles generously and naturally, who smiles shyly and stiffly, who smiles playfully and vividly... who Who is not restrained in front of the camera, who is too exaggerated and artificial, and who is unforgettable in the crowd.

Using this method, the progress of the audition is indeed much faster, and children with potential can be selected faster.

Until a certain group of girls came in, Liang Qing suddenly pulled Fei Yizhen's sleeve and motioned him to turn his head to look.

As soon as Fei Yizhen turned his head, he was as surprised as Liang Qing had guessed.

Among the new group of seven girls who came in, there were actually four girls who were classmates in their class, and the girl standing in the middle, Fei Yizhen, was very familiar, without a doubt, it was Mo Yao.

They should have known that Fei Yizhen and Liang Qinghui would be today's judges, and they didn't look surprised at all. Instead, they chatted and laughed together.It is also rare for the producer to meet girls who are not nervous at all, so he immediately turned on the microphone and asked them to be quiet.

The girls finally calmed down, and according to the producer's request, they all showed smiles towards the jury.

Fei Yizhen looked at them, and always had the illusion that these girls were all looking at him and smiling, except for Mo Yao, the three of them should not be too relaxed when they laughed, and even made a joke.But Mo Yao's smile was much more subtle, and there was even a three-point relief in her eyes, and the three-part parting had a deep meaning.

The producer and the director chatted for a while, and they both felt that the quality of this batch seemed to be good, so they threw the resumes of several people into the stack of re-selection.

Fei Yi really knows that they may not be so cheerful and generous, probably because Liang Qing and Fei Yi are really judges, and he just took that smile as a greeting to them, which relieved the tension, and he was hesitating whether to remind, Liang Qing Just spoke.

He said, "Those are our classmates."

The producer was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "Liang Qing, did you introduce them?"

"How is it possible? I'm not familiar with them, but Yizhen is much more familiar, right? Especially Mo Yao."

Fei Yi really knew that he didn't have a good impression of Mo Yao because of Mo Yao's dry vinegar, so he ignored his provocation, but patiently explained: "I'm not that familiar either. They are at the front and back desks, so they just talk a lot. Probably they saw the news of the audition somewhere and came here by themselves."

Although both of them denied that the girls were introduced by them, the producer thought about it and left some resumes in the re-examination list.

Although Fei Yizhen's idea greatly speeded up the selection process and shortened the interview time, the selection still took two days.And if the time for the retest later is added, it will only be longer.After all, the content of the re-examination must be much more complicated and stricter than the audition.

The number of re-examinations has decreased a lot, from the original few thousand resumes to 250 seven that basically meet the requirements.

And on the day of the retest, there were not even 250 seven people present at the specified time.Among the girls who passed the first test, about a dozen did not show up.

Girls who didn't show up on time, no matter what the reason was, were naturally eliminated.

The remaining 240 can't be perfunctory like in the audition.Since Huafeng wants to gain fame, the basic screen appearance rate must be guaranteed. This audition for the heroine of "The Best Restaurant in the World" is the first hurdle for Huafeng to gain fame.

It has already reserved a special program slot on the TIS TV recording studio channel, and a dedicated videographer will record and edit it, and finally broadcast it directly on TV.In other words, the girls who entered the re-examination today, regardless of whether they will be selected in the end or become the heroine, they already have a chance to be on TV.Even if it's just a shot, it's still a shot.

The girls who heard the news were somewhat excited, but Mo Yao didn't feel anything.

She didn't appear here for such a purpose in the first place.

Although it is said that they have entered the re-examination, in fact, many girls' goals are not very clear, and they are not very determined to become the heroine of "The Best Restaurant in the World".

But Mo Yao felt that since they had already mustered up the courage to go to the audition venue, they should try their best to become the only heroine.

When the retest officially started, Fei Yizhen and Liang Qing also saw a girl who was late was stopped outside the door, and they were crying and explaining the reason, begging the staff to let them in.

But it's obviously of no use.In fact, the person in charge of Huafeng, like the executives of most performing arts companies, pays more attention to the time concept of the actors and singers under him.Being late for an audition is a big taboo. Generally speaking, an actor who dares to be late for an audition may open the window when the announcement is made.

The girl and her mother begged hard, but the staff still refused to let go.

Other than that, there are no other problems.

Soon, the audition will officially begin.

The content of this re-examination, the producer had already solicited Fei Yizhen's opinions before, and generally speaking, it was similar to the center of the initial audition, but for the sake of the excitement of the whole program, there were certain changes in the approach.

All the girls were given a cue an hour in advance and prepared accordingly.

In the retest, the girls were divided into groups of 5 people, and each group had [-] minutes.After the performance started, they were guided to the pre-set stage. The entire stage was also divided into [-] grids, and each girl would occupy a grid.Under the premise of not breaking away from their own grid, the girls are required not to use voice, but only use expressions and movements to attract the attention of the viewers to the greatest extent.

This test question is extremely open, and the scope of the test is also extremely wide.First of all, girls must have enough brains to know what aspects they are about to be tested; at the same time, they should also have certain talents that can help them complete the process of attracting attention.Whether it can successfully attract the attention of the viewers is the key to this selection, and the way to attract attention is the focus of the judges to determine the suitability of the girls to play the heroine.

Fei Yizhen glanced at the candidate list seemingly calmly - Mo Yao was in the seventh group.

In fact, Fei Yi is really not surprised that Mo Yao will appear here. She has had a star dream since she was a child, but perhaps because of lack of courage, or because her desire is not strong enough, Mo Yao has never tried to realize it.

And maybe just because she was attracted by the sudden opportunity, she took this step suddenly.

There is nothing to say about the first group of performances. Most of the girls are trying to perform a certain scene or a certain behavior, typically playing the piano or directly trying to perform a mime.The advantages and disadvantages of doing so are also obvious. If you imitate playing the piano, you are almost repeating the same action for nearly 5 minutes, and it is almost difficult to attract the attention of others.As for mime performances, the girls who came to participate in the selection this time rarely have professional performance backgrounds, and it is difficult to express even the basic sense of hierarchy, and naturally they don't care about expressiveness.And 5 minutes is a bit too long, and many girls became confused after performing.

From the perspective of the camera, their performances are obviously more blunt and contrived, or chaotic without a theme.

But the idea of ​​this selection is obviously not a problem.Because not long after the second group started performing, someone managed to stand out from a group of girls.

Girl No. 23 has long hair. As soon as she came on stage, she sat cross-legged on the ground, untied her hair, pulled it to her chest, and then reached out to make a gesture of taking and opening the box.

These few movements are actually nothing special. If you have to say that her movements are different from those around her, it is that the girl's expression is obviously much more lively than other people's when she is doing these movements, and no one else sense of restraint.

The judges including Fei Yizhen saw the difference at a glance.

There's something interesting about this girl.

The girl spent about 3 minutes combing her hair. During this long process, she kept changing her small movements. The combing movements also gradually changed from leisurely to irritable, giving people a clear sense of progress. After 3 minutes, she changed her action.

She made an action of putting down the comb, and then began to open the cabinet to quickly pick out clothes and change clothes. The rhythm of this part of the action was obviously much faster than before, giving people a sense of haste.

Fei Yizhen almost looked at the girl with admiration.

In fact, the 5-minute performance time not only tests the girls' performance ability, but also their overall planning ability. Five minutes is too short to perform a story, but it is too long to perform several plots, and the pure action will make people feel monotonous, not to mention the limitations of sound and space.

In this case, it is very important to grasp the rhythm of movement and stillness, and to control the elements of slowness and urgency.

And a star, regardless of whether he has a performance foundation or not, should have the talent to control other people's attention and emotions.

If Fei Yi is not wrong, after the girl's performance, she should return to the quietness in some way - 3 minutes of combing her hair to pass the time, and [-] and a half minutes of dressing to attract the audience back with fast-changing movements Slack, then the last half minute, the girl should impress with her terrific movements.

Sure enough, the girl stopped all her movements in the last half minute.

Then she made an action of touching the phone to check the message.There was obviously an unpleasant message in the phone, because the girl frowned visibly.Then she replied to the message, and received a reply from the other party very quickly.

Then suddenly the girl raised her hand high above her head, and suddenly threw the phone to the ground—her expression was twisted fiercely, which clearly attracted the attention of most people on the stage.But as the non-existent mobile phone fell to the ground, the girl lowered her head and stood there without moving.

Then, at the last moment when the electronic timer was counting down, the girl raised her head, her fierce expression disappeared, and instead she had an aggrieved expression full of tears.

The director suddenly stood up and gave the girl applause.

Fei Yizhen took a look at Liang Qing, and the two looked at each other for a while, but finally didn't speak.

The girls in the audience who had not yet had their turn to perform began to whisper, obviously the performance of girl No. 23 had affected most of the people.

After the girls in the third group came on stage, several of them obviously had the tendency to imitate No. 23, but after one girl came on stage, she didn't care what other people did, and started to dance jazz.

The rhythmic movements and steps instantly caught the public's attention. Although there was no matching music, the girls' dance steps seemed to be very skillful, stepping on the proper rhythm without any difficulty.

In fact, dancing under such regulations is indeed an excellent way to attract attention, provided that the performers must have a foundation in dancing.

The performances of the girls in the third group and the performances of the second group cannot be said to be more brilliant, but the dance is obviously more eye-catching than the mime.What's more, this girl's skills are really very deep, even if she performs under normal circumstances, she will probably be able to attract applause from the audience.So there was applause and applause immediately. The 5-minute dance is actually quite exhausting, but the girl never blushed and was not panting, obviously her physical strength is also extremely good.

Then Fei Yizhen noticed that the director who was the first to take the initiative in the previous scene just smiled politely and put him on the candidate list.

Obviously, the director's impression of this girl is not as good as the previous one.

Fei Yizhen knew the reason after thinking about it for a while.

After all, this selection recruits actors. Compared with dancing, the director hopes to know the girls' acting ability and expressive ability.The dancing of the girls in the three groups was actually a trick. Although, as the requirements stated, they attracted the attention of most viewers, they did not demonstrate their ability in performance.

The girl's thoughts were probably in vain.

After watching these few scenes, Fei Yizhen couldn't help but think about what kind of performance he would choose to do if he stood in the position of these girls.

The performances of the first few outstanding performers opened the minds of the girls behind, and the following performances began to be varied.A girl started acting as a golden rooster as soon as she came on stage. She stood for 5 minutes from the beginning to the end, and vividly expressed the saying that it is better to be still than to move, which made the producer laugh in amazement.The photographer even gave her a long shot throughout the whole process, which shows the attention she received.But Fei Yi really felt that the possibility of her being selected was pitifully small. If she was really selected, he would probably vote against it himself—they were going to select TV drama actors this time, not acrobats.

In addition, there are many girls dancing all kinds of dances, with varying levels and types.Some girls danced well, but the dances chosen were not suitable for the small performance area, which obviously had the opposite effect.Some girls dance really well, and they are also used to non-moving performances, but their own dance characteristics are destined to not be eye-catching enough.

Fei Yizhen has always paid more attention to Mo Yao's performance.

He is also selfish - although maybe he and Mo Yao will never have such a close confidant relationship, but in his heart, he still regards Mo Yao as a very close person as before.Mo Yao wanted to be a star, but Fei Yizhen was not very supportive, always felt that her personality was too soft and sweet, not suitable for such a colorful world, but he didn't want her to be disappointed.

With such contradictory psychology, Fei Yizhen waited for Mo Yao's performance.

After Mo Yao came to the stage, she started to stand in place, with her legs together and upright.

Fei Yi was really curious how she would perform.

In his memory, Mo Yao should have never learned dance, nor did he have any special sports skills, so he was very curious about what kind of performance Mo Yao would choose.

In the end, she saw her tiptoe lightly.

She tiptoed three times, and Fei Yizhen realized that she was supposed to be dancing, and was surprised and worried at once.

But when Mo Yao started to move, he suddenly found that not only Mo Yao made such a move, but also the three girls before and after her also made the same move.The four girls lined up, almost all doing the same thing at the same time.

That movement was very similar to a dance, but upon closer inspection, it didn't seem to be the case. Fei Yizhen heard the whispers from someone beside him, and only then did he know that what they were dancing was some kind of aerobics.

Several girls may often practice aerobics together, and their movements are quite synchronized. Although they are not wearing the same gym suit, the different clothes make their neat and neat movements catch people's attention.Of course, dancing with four people is not the same as dancing alone. It looks more imposing and eye-catching than a solo dance.

It can be said that the team advantages of several people have been brought into full play.

Fei Yizhen sighed.

Mo Yao and the others were obviously also aware of their own shortcomings, so they seized the only advantage in numbers and took advantage of it.

Liang Qing snorted coldly: "She can figure it out."

But no matter what method they used, Mo Yao and the others managed to attract the attention of others in the end, which was considered a success.

The director threw his personal resume on the selected pile.

But Liang Qing said softly to Fei Yizhen with a smile: "She never thought about it, there is only one protagonist, and there are four of them, how will they be divided in the end?"

Fei Yi really didn't speak.

In his memory, Mo Yao didn't have any friends who were always by his side.The friends who were with me in the first grade were all scattered because of the division of arts and sciences, and gradually became estranged.

But I don't know if it will be different this time.
