Acting depends on immortality, cultivating immortality depends on popularity

For the role of Yun Jing, Director Wang really has a headache.

This character is described in the original work as a very soft and cute little Zhengtai with an appearance of about seven years old.However, he has been indifferent and cold for thousands of years, and has super strength, agility, and superb skills.

If it is said that Leng Ruo Bingshuang is still relatively easy to act, but in the plot, when the master uncle went crazy and amplified his moves several times, the chilling vocal cords and breath like a frost sword are not what a real seven or eight-year-old child can show. up.

Director Wang, the screenwriter and several assistant directors once discussed whether it would be better to adjust the role setting and let an older child play this role?However, although the number of appearances in the original work is not many, but every time the little uncle is an absolute heavyweight, he is an undeniable and god-like existence in the hearts of fans of the original work.

It can be said that they can choose a traffic niche who is more handsome in appearance and does not quite match the protagonist of the original to play the leading role, but they cannot let a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child play the role of the little uncle who is set to be six or seven years old .

Of course, if it was another director, he would just let it go, at worst, find an older child star with a better appearance to fool him and he can explain it.However, Director Wang is a very persistent director. For his own works, he can be disliked by the audience because what he wants to express is too obscure, but he must not have any blemishes of his own dissatisfaction. Otherwise he would rather not shoot.

So when he was looking for actors in China and even abroad, no less than 300 people have tried the role of Guang Yunjing.

Unfortunately, even so, he still failed to find the right role.

Even if there are some children who can do the expression properly, but the acting skills, the lines... plus as long as the plot and lines are a little more complicated, the children will tie their tongues and look at themselves with a blank expression. Those who are less courageous may even get red eyes on the spot.

Fortunately, when he got together with some old friends a while ago, he heard from Director Zheng that a young actor he hired a while ago was very good. There is no need for post-dubbing on the spot.And that child is said to be quite persevering, and now he is learning acting from the Tiange Repertory Troupe.

After inquiring about Chengxuan's name, it happened to be staged at Twilight Villa, in which Chengxuan's two characters with completely different personalities aroused Director Wang's interest, so he decided to let him have a try—in fact, for this As far as the character is concerned, Cheng Xuan's age is actually a bit too young.But it's only one year younger!The child will be able to go to elementary school at the age of six this year. When the filming starts in the summer vacation, isn't it just the same as the role setting?And if the kid's basic skills are really solid, those problems won't be a problem. With his performance and post-production makeup, they can be completely solved!

The time for the call notification was very tight. I received the call on Saturday and had to go to the interview on Sunday afternoon.

Because Director Wang himself is in Tiange City right now, and there are many scenes in the Immortal Picture that will be shot in the film and television city next to Tiange City. He is here to determine the layout of the shooting scenes.

Cheng Xuan came to the hotel where Director Wang was staying on time the next day, and when he arrived, he found that he was the only one who came for the interview today?

Walking into the room, Director Wang's eyes lit up when he saw Chengxuan. He had seen Chengxuan in a movie variety show before, but after seeing the child himself at this time, whether it was Director Wang or the screenwriter, he was very concerned about Chengxuan. Xuan's appearance is very satisfied - that Uncle Yunjing is a very handsome and lovely gentleman, just to maintain his majesty, he has an iceberg face all the year round, and because of his special skills, he will never grow up , the temperament on his body became more and more cold.

After Cheng Xuan entered the room, he bowed and said hello to Director Wang with a smile on his face.

Director Wang looked at the smiling face on his face, and nodded under the worry in his heart: "Do you know what kind of role you want to play?"

Cheng Xuan thought for a moment: "He is a fairy-like person who will never grow up."

There was no mistake in understanding. Director Wang felt relieved and asked him again: "Have you read the script that was sent to you yesterday... Uh, no, did your parents tell you?"

The screenwriter at the side resisted the urge to laugh, pursed his lips and said nothing - a child who has not yet entered elementary school, even if he reads the script with his hands, he might not be able to recognize a few words, right?

Cheng Xuan, who has long been accustomed to this kind of dialogue, still nodded with a smile on his face and said: "I have memorized it all."

"Have you memorized 'all'?" Director Wang raised his eyebrows. He heard that the child has a good memory, but the script was changed only yesterday, and the content is not too small. Can he really memorize them all? "Then you can try the scene where the uncle first appeared on stage."

Director Wang's scene had very few lines, and it was the first time the uncle appeared on the stage, he was full of deterrence and threw knives everywhere.Among them, the requirements for action and demeanor are higher than those for lines.Director Wang didn't expect Cheng Xuan to perform well. He just wanted to see how well the kid could perform because there were relatively few lines in that segment, and then to see if there was any hope of continuing to train him better.

Cheng Xuan nodded slightly, took a few steps back and walked to the door, then turned his back to the crowd and faced the door, with two small hands behind his back, and then turned around slowly.

If this audition is for other types of roles, Cheng Xuan may still need to figure it out, and even watch more film and television works with similar characters in order to try his best to perform well. However, the role that Director Wang asked him to audition for He said it, but it hit his heart instead - isn't this just a pretending role?

It's the kind of typical pretentious character who exudes "Brother is very powerful, brother is awesome, and brother will be there every second when he comes out".If this character is not set with a straight appearance, then it is a very common pretentious character in this kind of martial arts and comprehension works.Some of these characters are really good at themselves and appear at the level of big bosses, while more of them are villain cannon fodder who pretend to be aggressive and get slapped in the face by the male lead.

As for this kind of role, Cheng Xuan has a lot of experience, after all, it can be said that he has been working hard to get closer to this kind of role in his previous life.Whether it's martial arts routines, or words and deeds.The only difference is that in his previous life, because of his nature, Cheng Xuan did not put on an iceberg face all the year round to pretend to be cool, but took the route of a gentle young man and noble son.Now it's just a change of expression, and a handsome iceberg to fool people.

Cheng Xuan turned around slowly, seeing the serious expression on his face, director Wang, the screenwriter beside him, and the producer who came here specially to watch the fun were all stunned—this expression is really interesting!

At this moment, Cheng Xuan sneered from his nose: "Huh, I, Tian Tuzong, is also the place where you wait for Xiaoxiao to play wild!" Following his voice, the man also walked forward slowly step by step, and the last square word exited, His right hand suddenly flicked in the air, as if shaking the big sleeve of his robe.

Today, Cheng Xuan was wearing a T-shirt and an open sweater with a hood on the outside. The sleeves of the sweater were not too wide, but when he flicked them, there was a gust of wind, and he looked quite imposing. foot.

As soon as this action came out, the three people in the room were even more stunned. They didn't even have the time to look at each other, but Cheng Xuan lowered his eyes slightly at this time, and put his hand behind his back as if he was listening to something.

About three to five seconds later, he raised his eyes, with a trace of coldness in his eyes, suddenly raised his right hand behind his back, waved it randomly in the air a few times, and spit out "Go!".Sui Jicai slowly put his hands behind his back and turned to the direction he came from, and walked away slowly.

Of course, special effects will be added in the later stage, and the cannon fodder who caused trouble at the mountain gate will be blown away by a gust of wind and thrown into the mountain stream with Chengxuan's movements.At this time, the action of becoming a body is just a show.

When he was about to walk back to the door, Cheng Xuan turned around. The expression on his face was no longer the coldness just now. It looked the same as when he entered the door to greet everyone before. He still had big black and round eyes. With a sweet smile, he bowed to Director Wang and the others: "Uncle Director, I'm done with the performance."

Only then did the three people in the room come to their senses. The producer subconsciously slapped a few times, and then realized that something seemed wrong, and quickly coughed twice and looked at Director Wang: "This kid...has a lot of momentum. ?”

The expression on Director Wang's face also eased a lot, he smiled and waved to Cheng Xuan: "Where did you learn those movements just now?"

Cheng Xuan returned to the middle of the room in a few steps, and walked to Director Wang's side: "It's just a random wave."

The screenwriter next to him couldn't help but say, "The posture is pretty good, it looks like it's been practiced."

Cheng Xuan was still smiling, turned his head and nodded to the screenwriter: "Yes, I'm practicing martial arts."

"You know martial arts? When did you learn it? Where did you learn it?" Although Director Wang was surprised, he was not too surprised. Instead, he was very curious.Boys, more or less have a dream of martial arts, especially this child is following the route of child star, there is no harm in doing a little bit of kung fu since elementary school, maybe if the acting skills are not good enough, he can turn around and become a martial arts star.

"I've been learning it for a year, and it was taught to me by my grandfather." Chengxuan's kung fu system and routines are different from any martial arts school in the world, so instead of making up a master, it's better to pass it on to the family It's about kung fu.

"Oh? Can you call your uncles?" The producer also became interested, and picked up a teacup on the side to take a sip of water.

Cheng Xuan looked at Director Wang, saw that he also smiled and nodded to express his desire to see, so he took two steps back to the open space of the room, and made a gesture of raising his hand.

Cheng Xuan didn't do many moves, and he played a set of simple moves in about three to four minutes.However, from the very beginning, the three people in the room couldn't help staring at the elegant movements, nimble figure, and chic and handsome posture.After he finished his set of movements, the three of them couldn't help but looked at each other. Director Wang hurriedly asked, "Where did you learn this kung fu?"

"Grandpa taught me."

The producer also quickly put down the water glass in his hand: "Is grandpa your real grandpa?"

Cheng Xuan still nodded with a smile: "Yes, grandpa said it is a family tradition, and no one will give it to anyone except me."

The three people looked at each other in surprise again. Director Wang clapped his hands on the handles beside him a few times, nodded, smiled and called Cheng Xuan to his side: "Then if you let me Why are you showing your hands like this?"

Cheng Tian raised his head and said with a very innocent expression: "It doesn't matter. Grandpa said that as long as the idea is not spread, it doesn't matter if people see it."

The screenwriter couldn't help but asked him again: "Then where does your grandfather live?"

"I went abroad with my parents." ——In response to inquiries from outsiders, this strategy of parents and family members going abroad is absolutely effective. Sure enough, as soon as he said that, the three of them stopped asking about his family situation and discussed in low voices Let's talk about this role.
