The history of struggle for foundation in the entertainment industry

After a while, Liang Feng came out in a police uniform and a police cap. Tang Jinnian was pressed on the temporary make-up chair at the scene. Six light bulbs illuminated a small bright spot. In front of the mirror, he was pulled face-to-face by the make-up artist , turned his head and looked sideways at the person who came out of the simple dressing room.

It's a wonderful thing to have someone with lustful make-up looking at him... Liang Feng ignored him.

Everyone gathered behind the makeup chair to watch, following Tang Jinnian's gaze, they saw Liang Feng coming out after changing clothes.

I don't know who among the seven or eight people said, "Too thin..."

The rest of the staff nodded in agreement: "It's indeed a little thinner."

For a moment everyone agreed, Liang Feng walked over helplessly, took off his police cap, and leaned in front of the mirror: "Are you that thin?"

Under the dazzlingly bright light, Liang Feng's left face was reflected in the mirror, which had undergone repair surgery. The scar was horizontal under the cheekbones, a faint line, but clear enough.The active expression on Liang Feng's face dissipated immediately, and within an uncapturable time, he became expressionless.

Since today is just an audition, there is only one dressing table for one person and only one mirror.

Liang Feng caught a glimpse of Tang Jinnian's pale but still handsome face reflected in the mirror in the lower left corner at the same time, a face that was very similar to him, and his mood was quickly shrouded in haze again, and he was so stuffy that he couldn't breathe angry.

Behind him, the director suddenly patted him on the shoulder: "Eat more before filming, eat well, and then reduce it when we shoot the field scene." Liang Feng woke up with a start, forced his expression to turn around, and hadn't fully reacted yet, with a look on his face. At a loss.

Everyone except him was taken aback when they heard this, and after a while, they raised their foreheads: "It's a fighting scene in the wild, Director Zhang."

Director Zhang waved his hand indifferently: "It's all the same."

"..." The staff immediately discussed in a low voice whether someone should tell the director the difference between a field battle scene and a field battle scene.

Liang Feng recovered, supported the dressing table and stood up smiling: "I will try to eat as much as possible."

Tang Jinnian was pressed by the makeup artist on his shoulders, his face was stiff, and he could only turn his eyes. His eyes were almost turned away, and he could see Liang Feng's smile clearly on the top of his head.

What's the meaning.The black brush rubbed against Young Master Tang's face, and Tang Jinnian thought expressionlessly: This kid smiles at everyone except himself.

Is it because of their blood relationship?Is it necessary?

The female makeup artist came to Tang Jinnian's face to apply the light blue color under his eyes, seeing that his eyes blinked a few times in discomfort, and said, "Don't you often put on makeup?"

Tang Jinnian: "It is inevitable."

Well, before he came here, he completely forgot about the need for make-up for acting. Make-up--this kind of thing he only had when he was tricked by a female teacher to be the national flag bearer when he was in elementary school. Li Baibai went to the Lao Shizi dinner party... But now, according to Li Baibai's sexuality, is he being played again...fuck.

The makeup artist was amused by his tone, but continued: "Are you kidding me, an artist has never put on makeup, or are you naturally so sensitive?"

She was very close, holding a fluffy brush, and only teased Tang Jinnian as a young kid. Unexpectedly, Tang Jinnian caught the brush and rubbed it on his face hands.

Tang Jinnian held her wrist, looked at her and asked, "Am I sensitive?"

The makeup artist was stunned, and then pushed him away. The other party was still a young man who was five or six years younger than him. He was so embarrassed that he grabbed the brush and turned around to dip some color on him and continued to paint on him: "Fuck you!" , Hurry up and make a quick decision."

In fact, this is Tang Jinnian's consistent attitude towards people. Li Baibai discovered it when he was in college. It was only the second day that Li Baibai met, and when he was sleepy in the big class, he had already blown provocatively on Li Baibai's face.According to Li Baibai's observation, no one should have taught him. Poor, I don't know how many girls have been treated as hooligans.

"Seriously, you're new? Are you a little older?"

Tang Jinnian squinted at her.

The make-up artist laughed, taking revenge for being molested just now, and started a serious chat with him: "I never heard that Neptune has a handsome guy like you. You were picked up by scouts?"

Tang Jinnian answered four words squarely: "Mao Sui recommends himself."

After half an hour, makeup is done.It was already 11:30, and many actors who auditioned came one after another, and the staff became busy, leaving Liang Feng and Tang Jinnian as idlers.

Tang Jinnian asked casually, "What time is the announced audition time?"

Liang Feng was not far from him, leaning against a table, and answered after a while: "Eleven, but the crew usually comes an hour or two earlier to prepare."

"Oh." Tang Jinnian had nothing to do after putting on his makeup, and was still sitting on the makeup chair.I understood that Yan Tiannan asked him to come so early in order to get acquainted with the crew and gain opportunities.

There are two leading actors and a few supporting roles in today's audition, but on the first day, most people came for these two leading actors.

The role that Tang Jinnian is competing for is one of the protagonists, the black second generation, who almost never interferes with his father's business. After his father disappeared, he temporarily acts as the eldest brother and manages the gang.

The role of Liang Feng was the policeman who had been undercover in that gang. During his undercover period, he had a close relationship with Gu Jiang, the 'second generation black man', but he personally arrested Gu Jiang.While he was escorting the felon from the police station to another place, the zombie virus infected half of the citizens, the end of the day kicked off, and the story began.

At the beginning of the audition, the assistant director first announced that Duan Zhuo, one of the leading actors, had been confirmed. On behalf of the crew, he apologized to the classmates who came for the role of Duan Zhuo.

Tang Jinnian glanced sideways at Liang Feng, and Liang Feng watched the reaction over there.

As soon as the assistant director's words came out, a small number of people left immediately, and some people were willing to stay and watch the next audition process.After all, the people present are all insiders, even if they are angry, they will not get angry on the spot, and the "Doomsday" crew is quite kind, even though many crews have internal candidates, they still put on a posture to audition to see if they can meet. To be better than the default actor, many actors are very annoyed by this phenomenon.

Even so, some actors cursed in a low voice in dissatisfaction.

As Yan Tiannan said, the director and screenwriter of this crew are very talented people. They have produced several popular and popular TV series, and they have rich experience. Much lower.

Although the economy has been sluggish in recent years, the film and television industry has been developing day by day. Even small third-tier actors, as long as they are filmed, earn at least one million a year.Not to mention the first-line popular movie stars. Most of the auditions today are students who have just debuted and actors who have never been famous despite being famous. They all come for the fame of the crew. A good film with word of mouth, which will contribute to his acting career.

Tang Jinnian barely belongs to the former.

The audition section of 'Gu Jiang' is relatively simple, and it is the very beginning of the whole episode.

The son of the gangster, the second in command of the gang, referred to as the gangster for short, was drinking in his three-story luxury villa, surrounded by four bodyguards.Duan Zhuo, who had been undercover in the gang for a year and a half, changed back into his uniform that night and came to arrest Gu Jiang himself.

The script only had two pages, and it was still printed on one side. It only showed the scene where Gu Jiang resisted angrily, was hit by Duan Zhuo with a stun gun, and collapsed to the ground in convulsions.

Director Zhang sat behind the table, looked at a few people, and then beat the table with a pen in his hand, saying: "No, what you want to express in this paragraph is not only Gu Jiang's anger when he finds out that his friend is an undercover agent. This part is also very important to start with the dandyism of the underworld prince. Okay, come again."

So the actors behind began to pay attention to the prince's domineering.

After a few people passed by, the director knocked on the table again, frowned and shook his head: "It doesn't feel right, it's too simple, what kind of person is Gu Jiang? He is the son of a gangster, and he received compulsory education since he was a child. He is domineering, wasteful, and possessive. but……"

He said two 'but's in a row, as if he couldn't think of any adjectives to use, he knocked hard on the table a few times before thinking: "But—silly, do you understand?"

Listening to his description, the actors' minds were full of domineering, demented, and drooling images. They raised their eyes and looked at the director to confirm that he was serious, so they didn't dare to say, "Isn't this just a mentally handicapped person?" They all showed a look of bewilderment.

Zhang Zhihui: "..."

He came out from behind the table, pulled up a chair as a luxurious sofa, and demonstrated it himself. He leaned back on the back of the chair with his thighs spread out, trying to show a rich and handsome temperament, but found that he still couldn't show it. , the great director was at a loss for words, he put his legs together, held hands, and tried hard to describe: "He...he..."

Unable to think of words, Zhang Zhihui was silent for a moment, and finally pointed behind him: "Just like him, you know!"

Tang Jinnian: "..."

The audition actors all raised their eyes and looked at the side of the dressing table that they had never noticed before.

Several gazes swept up from Tang Jinnian's domineering thighs that were spread a hundred degrees, to him sitting restlessly, almost touching the curved buttocks of the chair with his tailbone, and then to leaning on the back of the chair. She has a firm back, and the director asked for tailor-made indulgence makeup: fair and even pale complexion, slightly black and blue under the eyes.More than a dozen people nodded in random order, saying, "So that's the case", "Yes, I understand." "Understood".

Zhang Zhihui breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hands and said, "Let's start."

Tang Jinnian: "..." He wanted to arrest someone and ask me if I looked stupid!As a result, when he turned his head, he saw Liang Feng clenched his fist to his lips, overjoyed.

Tang Jinnian raised an eyebrow: The boy seems to be smiling too happily.

Liang Feng tried his best to restrain himself, but he still couldn't help laughing, his eyes met Tang Jinnian's unintentionally, and his smile didn't stop.

Look, I also smiled at Lao Tzu this time.

Tang Jinnian was inexplicably complacent, and the words he hadn't prepared yet came out: "I'll treat you to dinner after finishing here."

Liang Feng's expression was the same as when he was looking in the mirror. All the facial nerves that could symbolize happiness were paralyzed in an instant, and his face returned to expressionless.

Having seen Liang Feng a lot, Tang Jinnian felt that it was nothing, as if he had an extra brother.

This 'brother' looks silly and innocent.So Tang Jinnian thought, he couldn't go on like this forever, and planned to go out to have a meal with him, get to know each other, and get closer.

I don't want Liang Feng to be so repulsive.

The confrontation before was because he felt that he was the same age as the other party, but now, Young Master Tang treated Liang Feng as a child, so he didn't care about his reaction.

Liang Feng didn't look at him any more after he was done, and couldn't see the audition that was going on in the distance.

Tang Jinnian also turned his head and continued to wait and see.

Audiences and those engaged in performing arts have different perspectives and focus on different things when watching performances.Tang Jinnian is still classified as an audience. When watching, he regards authenticity, pleasing to the eye, and fluency as the criteria for judging.

The director pays more attention to see if he can control the scenes and emotions that will appear in the script in the future.Nowadays, there are quite a few TV dramas produced every year, but quite a few of them are changed without changing the content, not the subject matter, but the script and actors.

The same type of role and plot, in different TV series, the performance of different actors is almost exactly the same.The characters do not show diversity and are easy to be profiled.

What Zhang Zhihui and his screenwriter are best at is to present the same subject matter differently in innovative ways, so that the audience will not feel bored.

It is also because of this that many actors in Zhang Zhihui's past works were praised for their aura, but once they left this crew, their performances in other plays were very average, gradually dimmed, and became ordinary people.

More than a dozen people tried it, seven or eight of them came to compete for Gu Jiang, and the rest came to try out the protagonist and supporting roles.

From Zhang Zhihui's expression, it could be seen that he was not particularly satisfied, but he was not anxious, and continued to invite the next person in.

"Hello director, I'm here to try 'Duan Zhuo'."

The assistant director hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, as I said just now, Duan Zhuo is no longer recruiting."

"Oh, then I would like to ask, why Duan Zhuo's actor was still lacking in the notice a week ago, why is he not recruiting today?"

Tang Jinnian's eyebrows twitched, and his heart was provocative.

This person is very polite in his words, but everyone knows the answer to the question. Everyone knows it. It is almost a default or something. Few people point it out. They don't want to tear their faces. Minus points.

Today, this person is not angry to provoke, but he just wants to use this method to fight for a chance.

Zhang Zhihui's expression did not change, and he answered him truthfully: "We found a candidate for this role five days ago, and it is very suitable, so there is no need to try other ones."

The man was calm, he opened his mouth to speak and wanted to continue to provoke, but was blocked back unexpectedly, Zhang Zhihui said: "But since you think you are better than the person I choose, then try a part." He raised his hand and asked the assistant for the script." Little face, give me a copy of Duan Zhuo's audition script."

The assistant went to find the records of the scene, but the record of the field showed his hands and indicated that there were no records here.Because there was no plan to test Duan Zhuo today, the group did not print Duan Zhuo's script yesterday, and the only copy on the scene was taken by Liang Feng for several days.

The assistant glanced at them, and talked with Zhang Ji about something, but finally ran over and asked Liang Feng for the script with evasive eyes, which was very embarrassing.

The script was originally printed by the crew, Liang Feng handed the script to Zhang Zhihui's assistant, when he raised his eyes, he found that the actors who auditioned over there were all looking here.

"It's Liang Feng..."

"Duan Zhuo decided it was him."

Perhaps because they were there, they didn't say anything harsh. Liang Feng had been away for three years, and the cause of the accident was a sensitive drunk driving accident. Some people should be dissatisfied or ridiculed.Liang Feng didn't say anything, and continued to lean on the side with his arms folded and watch.

The kicker also saw Liang Feng, and his face was a little ugly, but since he had already done it, he was at least [-]% sure, otherwise in such a scene, his acting skills were poor and his words were rude, and he would die ugly.

After reading the script for a while, he started.

-----

He performed very well, and his character was portrayed very strongly and brilliantly.But it wasn't Zhang Zhihui's favorite type. He and the screenwriter looked at each other, and there was no disturbance in each other's eyes.

Zhang Zhihui immediately waved him down, refused mercilessly, and did not explain the reason for brushing him off.

The man endured it, but in the end he got up and left without completely tearing his face.

Tang Jinnian also watched that person's performance seriously, and didn't like it very much, thinking: Will my younger brother perform better than him?

While he was in a daze, Tang Jinnian suddenly noticed that Liang Feng walked into his field of vision. Liang Feng walked out from behind him where the crew kept the miscellaneous items, walked around the actor's manager and assistants who were talking eagerly, and lined up in the audition room. team.

Tang Jinnian touched the corner of his mouth, waiting to see what he was going to do.

Liang Feng pondered the role for a few days, and felt a little bit. He planned to show his strength and let the crew not be too difficult.

Unexpectedly, when Liang Feng was in the queue, Zhang Zhihui gave him a scolding and drove him away.

Zhang Zhihui stood up, threw the notebook from him just now, and said in a deep voice: "What are you making trouble with, go read the script. The person I, Zhang Zhihui, never needs to prove anything to others, not now, and will do it in the future There is no need to come out."

Liang Feng accepted the script dumbfounded.Unable to play handsome, he even blushed and ran away with a small step to cover his face with the script.

Tang Jinnian laughed.

Liang Feng was helpless for a long time, opened the script and continued to study.

The audition lasted until two or three o'clock in the afternoon, and a few candidates were decided.

Zhang Zhihui closed the notebook, and said to the actors: "You all performed well, you worked hard today, okay, now call your managers, I'll talk to them."

The whole crew immediately looked like Qi Qiran.
