I Used Non-humans as Actors for Those Years

"What does it feel like? How do you understand this role?" Zhong Jiudao asked No. 3 to suspend the performance and sit aside to wait. He asked the casting director seriously.

He always likes to listen to other people's opinions and think about problems from multiple perspectives.

When he saw No. 3's performance, he found his eyes hot. The casting director thought it was okay, which meant that there was a disagreement between them. It was necessary to understand the casting director's thinking in order to communicate better.

Although the previous movies were Zhong Jiudao's words, the final product is also the result of his understanding of the thoughts of the group of ghosts, and it is also a kind of collective wisdom.

"It's the popular selling rot," the casting director winked at Zhong Jiudao with an "I understand" look, "Although I don't quite understand why young people like this type, but as a commercial film , adding a little bit of this element is okay.”

"What do you think?" Zhong Jiudao asked the producer.

The producer said: "I have similar opinions with Director Lin (casting director), but I think there is something wrong with No. 3's expression. How can there be such a rotten one? Isn't this the plot of an idol drama? No. 5 will definitely not act like this .”

"I see." Zhong Jiudao didn't say anything, but continued to call No. 3 for the next performance.

In the second scene, the two clapped their hands together and smiled at each other. No. 3 is still the performance method trained by the casting director. He grabbed Luo Huai's hand, hugged him in his arms, let his chin rest on his shoulder, and patted Luo Huai's back and said: "In the future You are my best partner, I cannot live without you."

Zhong Jiudao took a pen to write and draw on the white paper that recorded actor No. 3. At the beginning, he also wrote about the image characteristics of actor No. 3, thinking about how to combine the characters to create strengths and avoid weaknesses. After watching the second performance of No. 3 , the white paper has been drawn into a mess by Zhong Jiudao.

He changed a piece of paper, re-wrote his feelings, and did not immediately give feedback to the casting director, but continued to audition.

However, both the casting director and the producer can see that No. 3's acting skills are too extroverted and really inappropriate.

The image of No. 4 is pretty good, but his teeth are a bit buck. At present, the movie has no time to wait for his teeth to be fixed, and his acting skills are not so good that the movie is willing to put everything down and wait for him, so we can only skip it for the time being.

As soon as No. 5 entered, Zhong Jiudao asked the producer, "Are you sure he has 183?"

The producer is actually seeing me for the first time. I used to watch photos, videos and company recommendations. Today, I was dumbfounded after seeing No. 5. This person looks about the same height as Luo Huai. He is indeed 183cm. The problem is that he Now that I have worn height-increasing insoles, I can no longer wear inner height-increasing shoes. Do I have to step on stilts to film?

183 is true, but the increased height.

"Let's perform it first." Zhong Jiudao said, "If you are shorter, you can put a box on it and use shooting techniques to highlight the height difference. The right temperament is more important than anything else."

After interviewing a few people, Zhong Jiudao's requirements have gradually never been lower than 188, and he can't even do it. He can use technology to adjust his appearance, and he can be taught slowly even if his acting skills are not very good, as long as his temperament is suitable.

Even though his requirements have been lowered so much, No. 5's acting skills are still not quite right.

After the performance on the 3rd, the producer once secretly sent a message, telling the company to remind the 5th to put down the show and not be too explicit.

No. 5 really adjusted his state. He sat beside Luo Huai, looking at Luo Huai softly in his eyes: "Don't always fight for clues with the police. It's very dangerous. I'm worried about you."

Holding the wine glass in his hand, Luo Huai raised his eyebrows: "That's because you are moving too slowly, and it's not dangerous, it's exciting."

He glanced at No. 5, drank the wine in one gulp, put the glass on the bar counter neatly, and snapped his fingers at the bartender: "waiter, I'm treating you, give him a glass of low-alcohol wine, so that he won't be in this It's dangerous to be drunk on occasion."

"No!" No. 5 patted the table lightly, "Give me a glass of spirits, I can handle it well!"

Everyone: "..."

There was silence in the room, and the casting director whispered, "It's not just a matter of height, the whole person's aura is suppressed by Luo Huai."

The producer also lowered his head, aura is something that cannot be compensated by teaching the director's skills.

Luo Huai's temperament is rather juvenile, he can play the role of a sunny boy, a stunned young man who has just entered the society, a bit arrogant rich second generation, a spoiled son, an ambitious prince and even a handsome, rebellious and challenging character like a detective. Can.This is the way he is acting at this stage. If he is asked to play such roles as the domineering president, the emperor of the ages, the head of a big family, and the calm captain of the criminal police, no matter how good his acting skills are, he will not be able to handle them, because his aura is not enough.

In the future, when he gets older, after time and honing his acting skills, he can try such a role and break through himself.

His aura is enough to be non-aggressive, let alone No. 5. No. 5 can be overwhelmed by Luo Huai. In the end, he is so angry that he wants to drink a lot of alcohol. If he chooses No. 5, then he will play the detective. It would be fine for Luo Huai to play a criminal policeman with an unstable personality and some idealism, but that would be putting the cart before the horse.

The producer didn't say a word, let No. 5 go down, and replaced the people behind to play. Not surprisingly, they were all unsatisfactory.

After 10 people auditioned, few of them were very satisfied.

"Director Zhong, if the character of the criminal policeman is filmed exactly according to the script, it will be too difficult. It is very difficult to find such an actor at present, because many of his settings are contradictory." The casting director said.

The producer also echoed: "It's not that difficult to find a pure character, but it's even more difficult to find a character that matches Luo Huai's aura. Luo Huai is already over 1.8 meters tall, and I want to find someone whose height crushes him. Many suitable actors were stuck because of the conditions.”

Casting director: "He needs to have the intimidating power of a police officer, but also has a believable affinity; he needs to be mature and stable, and he needs to be no older than 5 years old as a detective, with no signs of aging on his face; he needs to be 1.9 in height Mi, you can't be aggressive, just give people a sense of security; if you want him to have conflicts with the detective, you can't have too many verbal and physical conflicts; if you want him to care about the detective, you can't be too considerate, but restrained and decent, this... This speed is too difficult to control, without decades of acting skills, it is impossible to control."

The producers took it very seriously, they made this film based on Director Zhong's requirements, and they fully believed in Director Zhong's judgment.They have read the script and feel that the criminal police should be like this, but it is not easy to restore the characters in novels and scripts in film and television. How can there be such an ideal person in real life.

Qian Duoqun was a lucky upstart in the entertainment industry. Even if Zhong Jiudao was willing to take him with him, he would not be able to speak in front of these two with very little experience.

Now that everyone is at an impasse, Qian Duoqun looks at this and that, and weakly raises his hand.

"What's your opinion on Producer Qian? Which actor do you like?" the producer said with great dignity.

"Personally, I think it's just my opinion. If you carefully read the character of the criminal policeman in the script, don't you feel familiar?" Qian Duoqun said.

"Where did we meet? What character in the movie is he like? Let's talk to that character actor?" the casting director asked.

Qian Duoqun weakly pointed at Zhong Jiu and said, "It's very similar to Director Zhong."

Luo Huai cast 10 actors in a row, and was already so tired that he was lying on the table. Hearing Qian Duoqun's words, he immediately sat up straight and nodded madly at Zhong Jiudao: "Yes, yes, yes, I also feel like Director Zhong!"

All eyes were on Zhong Jiudao, and the casting director said, "Director Zhong, why don't you demonstrate, so we can have a model."

"It's okay to be a demonstration." Zhong Jiudao didn't reject this.

He had already described the image of the criminal policeman in his mind, and he played it easily.

Luo Huai was sitting on a chair drinking, Zhong Jiudao pretended to go out, he didn't go directly to Luo Huai, but looked around, frowning slightly at the same time, looking for the person he was looking for in the unfamiliar environment.

When he saw the detective sitting in front of the bar, he immediately strode over. He had a clear goal and a straight posture. It seemed that he had undergone professional military posture training, and he was out of tune with the surrounding people.

Zhong Jiudao was wearing casual clothes, but it looked more formal than No. 3's uniform.

He came to the side of the detective, sat upright on the chair beside him, with his back straight, lightly tapped on the bar in front of the detective, and after attracting his attention, he said: "You took that dress."

His tone was firm, with a hint of disapproval in his eyes.

"What kind of clothes, I don't know." The detective raised his head and drank to hide his emotions.

"I know that you also handed over the evidence to your employer, who is the party in this case, and the party has already handed over the evidence to us," the policeman said.

"So what if I found it, and it doesn't affect you in solving the case." The detective turned around and touched the policeman's chest, "Don't be so rigid in doing things."

The criminal policeman raised his hand, separated the detective's fingers with the back of his hand, and said seriously: "If you have clues, you should tell the police instead of taking the risk to find them yourself. What if you alert the murderer? What if you destroy the clues? If the person involved is not as innocent as you imagined What to do? Your behavior not only affects the police handling the case, but also puts yourself in danger, and if you are not careful, you will cause trouble."

"When your procedure and process are too slow, the murderer has already run away, and you have to know how to be flexible." The detective said to the bartender, "I'm treating the guest, and I'll give him a glass of low-alcohol wine, so that he won't get drunk and put himself in danger. "

After speaking, the detective got up and ran into the dance floor, dancing with everyone.

The policeman frowned and looked at his back, sighed slightly, and said to the bartender, "White water is fine."

He didn't care about the detective's provocation of drinking low-alcohol alcohol, and still maintained his principles, but even if he only drank plain water, the detective's aura was still strong, and he didn't need strong alcohol to prove himself.

After the performance was over, the producer and casting director got together to discuss for a while, and the producer said to Zhong Jiudao, "Director Zhong, your acting skills are really good."

The casting director said: "As a director, you have to know a little bit about everything. Many actors' acting skills are also adjusted by the director a little bit. An actor can be a little bit worse, but the director must know it well."

Zhong Jiudao returned to his seat and said, "This is [-]% of the criminal police in my mind."

"Only [-]%?" Qian Duoqun asked.

This is many times better than the actors who auditioned just now.

"The conditions are simple, there is no music and mirroring, and the rest has to be supplemented by technology." The casting director can hear Zhong Jiudao's meaning.

The producer asked: "Director Zhong, do you think it's okay for us to recruit another assistant director?"

Zhong Jiudao: "Why do we need to recruit another assistant director? Our current manpower is already enough."

He is already someone who can wear several hats. With so many professionals in this film, it is even more leisurely for Zhong Jiudao.

Producer: "It's like this, I'm thinking, if you play this role, then when filming your part, there must be not enough directors, and you also need someone to help you adjust your standing, walking, movements and Micro expression, it's better to recruit another one."

"I'll act?" Zhong Jiudao was very surprised. Didn't he just come out to make a sample so that these two people could choose actors again?

The casting director nodded: "Yes, we think it's easier to find an assistant director than the actor you asked for. The only difference between you and the character is that the character is very young, only 26 years old. Director Zhong must be in his 30s, right? When the time comes, ask the makeup artist to paint you younger, and in terms of lighting..."

"I will be 26 years old after the end of my life." Zhong Jiudao said.

Casting Director: "..."

Producer:"……"

This is a bit embarrassing.

The author has something to say: Zhong Jiudao: I am 26

Luo Huai (mouth shape O): ...

Zhong Jiudao: Why do you have this expression? !

Luo Huai: I always thought you were 10 years older than me...

Zhong Jiudao: Why do you like me when you are 10 years older? Do you plan to support me in retirement? !
