Chapter 570 568.
The name "Best Director in Venice——Xu Xin" is full of temptation for actors.
In every sense of the word.
First of all, Director Xu is not a director who only makes literary films in the traditional sense.
With a box office of 500 million yuan, no one can deny his commercial success.
And now he has won the best director in Venice, one of the three major mountain ranges recognized by artistry. This is another honor that can be engraved in the history of Chinese film.
The matter of "Director Xu's movie" suddenly became more and more subtle in the circle.
So, when Tang Yan and Ji Rujing arrived at the downstairs of Nifeng, they were immediately shocked by the scene in front of them.
A lot of people.
But not an artist, but a colleague.
Ji Rujing's colleague.
"...Tangtang, you go up."
"Um."
Judging from the way these people looked at him, Tang Yan knew that these people must be insiders.
And here is the audition scene of "33 Days", the identities of these people are easy to guess.
In response, she carried her bag and went straight into the office building.
Immediately saw a sign:
"At the audition queue."
This sign is at the door, and there are two young men with badges standing beside them.
She walked over:
"Hi, I'm here for an audition."
Her tone was friendly, and the two young men recognized her immediately.
It's just that there is no such excitement as ordinary people encountering celebrities... Niufeng is not a small family anymore, and he still has this kind of courage.
A young man immediately said politely:
"Mr. Tang, wait a moment, Director Xu has taken special care of you."
As he spoke, he opened the document in front of him, and took out a numbered label from it.
Female, No. 10.
"..."
Looking at this number, Tang Yan's smile became a little more natural, showing a sense of intimacy.
"Thanks."
No. 10 audition person.
This sequence of numbers is actually the perfect pinch.
It will not be very front row, so the actors are given plenty of time to prepare. But it won't take too long, and the status of the actor will be lost.
The waiting time is not long or short, and the director will not be very tired because of the large number of auditions.
It can be said that it is a number in the golden interval.
And this golden interval depends on the overall number of actors.
How considerate...
When receiving the number plate, Tang Yan couldn't help muttering in his heart.
Evidently such an excellent man, yet so considerate...
She was distracted for a while.
After seeing her take the number plate, another young man quickly added:
"Teacher Tang, you can go directly to the 10th floor. We will pick you up to a separate rest room on the 10th floor at the same time. If your manager comes with you, you can take it with you."
"…Okay, thank you."
Tang Yan responded and took out his mobile phone:
"Then I'll let her in."
"Well, that's the elevator over there, Mr. Tang."
"Okay, thank you."
Tang Yan agreed again, took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Ji Rujing to let her in.
Soon, Ji Rujing also walked in. After reuniting, the two went up to the tenth floor together.
There were people in the elevator, but neither of them said a word. After reaching the 10th floor, all the people in the elevator walked out together.
It was only then that Tang Yan realized... These people seemed to be here for "33 Days of Broken Relationship".
And just as his brain reacted, his body had already stepped out of the elevator.
Then, she saw many girls standing in the elevator room.
It's really a lot...so much that it makes her feel like she's back to the audition scene of the Olympic baby...
"..."
She froze for a moment.
On the one hand, the idea in my mind is: Why are there so many people?
But rationally told her: This is Xu Xin's movie, isn't it normal that there are so many people?
Then a heavy pressure hit my heart.
After feeling the pressure, I feel a little joy in my heart...
I am number 10.
No matter what, it will be remembered...
Thinking of this, the pressure is reduced a lot.
Then I saw a girl with a work badge running all the way here. After seeing Tang Yan, she immediately ran over to her:
"Teacher Tang, I'm sorry for the long wait. Please follow me~"
The girl's words directly opened the eyes of all the girls who read the novel with their heads down or closed their eyes and focused their eyes on Tang Yan's face at the same time.
Tang Yan could naturally feel their gazes, and at the same time, a sense of vanity began to swell.
I feel very comfortable.
That kind of mood made her stand very straight, and followed the girl with graceful steps. Under the gaze of these people in the corridor... In the crowded environment of the two large audition halls, She followed the girl all the way to a small bay.
Under the gaze of everyone, the girl opened the door herself:
"Teacher Tang, please."
"Thanks."
Tang Yan thanked him politely, and after entering, he found that the bay was really not that big.
It's like five or six flat.
There are two sofas, one long and one short. On the tea table is a glass jug full of tea, beside it there is a crystal glass ice bucket and cups, and a plate of fruit.
Beside the sofa, there is also a rectangular dressing mirror.
Although a sparrow is small, it has all internal organs.
After Tang Yan entered, the girl closed the blinds on her own initiative:
"Teacher Tang, when the 5th arrives, I will come to tell you that you are ready. I will inform you when it is time for you, is that okay?"
"OK, thanks."
"Yes, Mr. Tang, please rest well."
The girl closed the door politely.
After she left, Ji Rujing glanced at the blinds, adjusted the angle slightly, and said to Tang Yan:
"Can you see outside?"
"Can."
After Tang Yan responded, Ji Rujing walked out.
After three or four seconds, he walked in again:
"The angle is just right, you can't see inside."
As she spoke, she sat next to Tang Yan and checked with the cup...
Clean and clean.
Obviously, in terms of reception, Headwind is very professional.
Pouring herself a cup of tea, she said:
"I saw a lot of acquaintances just now."
The acquaintance Ji Rujing mentioned was not the kind of manager who only brought newcomers along.
People who can be called "familiar" must have at least one or two capable artists.
But there are too many people at the moment... It can be said that the whole 10th floor smells of perfume.
When there are many beauties, people tend to be face blind.
She didn't see who was coming.
And Tang Yan didn't respond, but took out the script of "33 Days" and the novel full of handwriting from his bag, and began to review and prepare.
Seeing Ji Rujing didn't bother, leaning on the sofa and staring at the blinds in a daze.
Then very quickly... Four people pass by the shutters.
quickly caught her attention.
One person was the little girl who brought them in just now, and she led the way.
And in the middle is a very young girl...Wang Luodan?
There was a man following behind him. He looked familiar, but he couldn't figure out where he had seen him.
Ji Rujing was thinking about it when he suddenly saw the woman following behind.
"!"
Her pupils instantly dilated a little, and she whispered:
"Tangtang, look up!"
"...?"
Tang Yan raised her head subconsciously, watching the four people walk past the blurred silhouettes of the blinds.
asked wonderingly:
"What's the matter?"
"...Wang Jinghua is here."
Ji Rujing said as if facing an enemy.
"Well…"
Hearing this name, Tang Yan looked at the empty corridor where the man had already passed by, and asked:
"Who did she bring?"
Ji Rujing froze for a moment, then suddenly showed a strange expression.
The kind of peace of mind:
"Ha~ Bai Jihe."
While speaking, she shook her head:
"How could it be possible for Bai Jihe to be in Director Xu's play? It's obviously not in the same circle, so why come here?"
"Then why did she come here?"
Hearing this, Tang Yan asked subconsciously.
"It must be brought by Wang Jinghua... But she must have miscalculated this time. Even if she is Mimi's manager, but the circle is here, she can't get involved. Director Xu really gave face, and she probably was arranged in Rest room... tsk tsk, you really know how to behave."
Ji Rujing's last sentence was obviously referring to Xu Xin.
But Tang Yan didn't answer, just lowered his head, continued to stare at his feelings for the character "Huang Xiaoxian" in the script, and silently entered into the character's emotions.
…
2:20.
Wang Sicong opened the door and walked into the audition hall.
There are quite a lot of people in the audition hall at the moment, close to 30 people.
In addition to Xu Xin's fellow apprentices, they are some of the main members of the crew.
For example, photography director Wang Lei, art director Wu Ming and so on.
The Xiying Film Factory also sent out some old and new people this time. On the basis of the original crew of "The Hawthorn", some relatively good newcomers from the factory were sent here.
Bring the old to the new, batch by batch, so that everyone's business level can be improved.
Because it is the first time to cooperate with Xu Xin, these newcomers are still relatively reserved, not as familiar as Wang Lei and the others.
When Xu Xin saw Wang Sicong walking in, he pointed at Xu Yang and the others.
means let the young master sit there.
Wang Sicong nodded, and after sitting next to Xu Yang, he heard Xu Yang ask:
"Is the person here?"
"Here, I didn't let her go to the private room, so I waited in the lobby with others, feeling the atmosphere of the crew."
Xu Yang nodded silently.
With Xu Xin here, everyone naturally has a sense of intimacy.
So don't be so polite.
After he came, seeing that the time was almost up, Xu Xin signaled to the staff at the door:
"Tell everyone, give ten minutes to tidy up, and the preparations will begin."
"OK."
And just as the staff member went out, three other people came in with a stack of documents each.
"..."
"..."
"..."
When these people saw the three stacks of materials, their eyes straightened.
Xu Xin stared at the three staff members dumbfounded...
"what is this?"
"The audition artist's information, Director Xu, these two piles are for female characters, and this one is for male characters."
"...????"
Looking at the three mountains in front of him, Xu Xin became numb in an instant.
"How many copies?"
"Actors submitted a total of 84 documents, and actresses submitted 152 documents."
"..."
"..."
He didn't go to the tenth floor, so he didn't know how many people came.
But hearing the number... he was completely dumbfounded.
While the others looked at his dazed appearance, their hearts were like a bright mirror.
Too normal.
In other words, if there is no such a bustling scene, it would be abnormal.
After all, he is the best director in Venice, so why not show some face?
Let’s not mention male actors, the requirement for actresses this time is between 18 and 28 years old, and the entertainment industry has the most people in this age group.
It's just too normal.
However, the experienced Xue Yong still reminded in time:
"Director Xu, why don't we divide them into batches. How about today... the men are 40 and the women are 20? Don't make it too late, and then continue tomorrow. Two to three days will be enough."
"..."
Xu Xin who came back to his senses was speechless:
"If I delay the trip to take wedding photos, Yang Mi can kill me."
After muttering, he sighed, looked at the three staff members and said:
"Let's do it in batches. Today is one to forty, and the others will come tomorrow."
Starting at 2:30, according to the situation of one person in 3 minutes, it will take three to four hours for sixty people.
It's almost time.
Thus, the three staff members agreed, walked out quickly and began to arrange for the actors to leave.
After the actors heard the news, the experienced people didn't feel any surprise.
Of course you have the right to be dissatisfied, even to the point of making a big deal out of it.
Nobody cares.
It's just that some smart people started trying to contact the numbers that were in front of them.
I intend to ask Director Xu what are the audition clips.
Although everyone is a competitor, most people would not say such things, but what if there are people with abnormal brains?
…
2:30 sharp.
Xu Xin brought over the first document:
"Mixed. Start with the girls."
Hearing this, the staff guarding the door responded, opened the door and informed the companions outside.
Soon, there was a knock on the door.
A girl walks in.
When she saw more than 20 audition people in this room, she was obviously panicked.
The steps are a bit unnatural.
This is due to the lack of audition experience and lack of experience.
And this situation is the actor's own problem, and most people don't bother to care about it, including the director.
You come to the audition, and the performance of your role is over. As for whether you are nervous or not, it has nothing to do with other people, it is purely a matter of your own psychological quality.
But after Xu Xin took all this into his eyes, he still gave him a tolerance.
"Every... Hello directors, my name is Ying Er, I am 22 years old this year. I graduated from the Acting Department of the Central Academy of Drama... My height is 169 cm and my weight is 49 kg. The role of Huang Xiaoxian..."
A moderate audition speech.
Articulation is relatively clear.
"Thirty Three Days of Broken Love" still needs a lot of female characters. From the script he designed, there are eleven or twelve characters with names and lines, and there are countless background boards.
But this is where the girl is inexperienced.
Xu Xin did not release the audition role this time. Today is a special unified audition, planning to see who is suitable for which role, and put it there.
But she came up and went straight to the protagonist "Huang Xiaoxian"... Although it was not impossible, Xu Xin knew it was inappropriate the first time she saw her.
She doesn't have the contrast of Huang Xiaoxian's macho temperament.
But considering that she was the first audition, this is where Xu Xin’s tolerance lies:
"Have you read the novel?"
"seen it already."
Ying'er stood very straight, showing her figure, and replied quickly after hearing this.
"I don't think you are very suitable for Huang Xiaoxian. As far as appearance is concerned, you are very pure. So there are props over there. You can try to play other characters in the novel. Of course, you can continue to play Huang Xiaoxian and see your own choose."
He gave his own reminder.
But the flaw of the girl's inexperience appeared again.
She did not listen to persuasion, but after Xu Xin finished speaking, she glanced at the prop table next to her, thought about it, and said:
"I want to play Huang Xiaoxian."
Seeing this, Xu Xin stopped pressing.
"Okay, that's the audition segment over there. You have a minute to prepare."
Then he stopped talking.
And a minute later, Xue Yong began to lead the audition.
"It's time to start..."
Then there is no more.
Not suitable is not suitable.
Although her acting skills are not immature, after all, she has the experience of acting in several TV dramas.
But what she got was the quarrel scene when Huang Xiaoxian and Lu Ran broke up.
Because Tian Yusheng, who was chosen as the actor and who read the lines, played for her, the girl's performance could not be seen as savage, only hysterical madness.
Make a big effort.
also passed.
After the performance, Xue Yong nodded:
"Okay, it's ok, go back and wait for the notification."
The girl with a little blush on her face nodded respectfully:
"Thank you directors, goodbye."
After she walked out, Xu Xin casually threw the information into the discarded box.
"Next person."
Soon, another girl came in.
Compared to the slightly nervous Yinger, she is actually more nervous, but the sense of the camera is good:
"Hello directors, director Xu Xin, my name is Zhang Yuxi, from Dunhua, Jilin, graduated from Yanjing Institute of Fashion Technology..."
…
Yinger didn't leave.
As an artist of Huanrui Century, she didn't come by herself today.
She is with Zhang Yuxi who just went in.
After a while, the two of them will go back together.
As soon as she came out, she felt the gazes of many people.
After all, after many people left, there were not so many people on the 10th floor. After the audition preparations started, many people spontaneously came to the corridor on the 11th floor to wait with the permission of the staff.
There are bold ones.
Even though Headwind's staff were at the door, he still couldn't help asking:
"Beauty, how are you doing?"
"What are the problems?"
"What did I ask you?"
"Is Director Xu easy to talk to?"
They try hard to get some news.
Before Ying Er could answer, the staff guarding the door said:
"Actors, please keep quiet and don't disturb the audition order."
Seeing this, Yinger lowered her head and walked directly towards the elevator.
Going all the way downstairs, as soon as she got out of the elevator, she saw the manager guarding the elevator entrance.
As the first actor to report, the agent also knew that she must be the fastest to come out, so he quickly pulled her aside:
"How is it? How is your performance? Did Director Xu tell you anything?"
"Say I'm not suitable for Huang Xiaoxian... recommend me to try other roles..."
Hearing this, the manager looked happy:
"And then? Who did you audition for?"
"I still auditioned for Huang Xiaoxian..."
"..."
In an instant, the manager was speechless.
"Give me a minute to prepare, after I finish the performance, let me go back and wait for the notification..."
Listening to her words, the manager didn't say anything more, but set his eyes on the elevator entrance.
Today Huanrui has three people here.
She is the one, Zhang Yuxi is the one, and the third person... Speaking of which, he has some relationship with Director Xu.
Li Man.
It was because her eyes were swollen from mosquito bites that Yang Mi had the chance to be in charge.
There is no hope for Ying'er here, let's see what these two people have to say.
Soon, Zhang Yuxi also came out of the elevator.
"This way."
The agent quickly shouted, and Zhang Yuxi ran over quickly.
"How about it?"
"I don't know either. I was given 30 seconds to prepare, and then... Sister Yinger, what is your audition clip?"
"Arguing with Lu Ran... Director Xu gave you 30 seconds?"
"It's all 30 seconds."
Zhang Yuxi was a little puzzled.
But the manager's face became weird, and he asked subconsciously:
"Did Director Xu talk to you?"
"No, Director Xu just sat there without saying a word, another person directed me to perform..."
"..."
"..."
Now, even Ying'er knows that she has received special care.
She instinctively looked at the manager.
But the other party just shook his head with regretful eyes.
In front of Zhang Yuxi, he didn't say anything.
Can't say anything.
The director Xu gave you the opportunity, gave you twice as much preparation time as others, and also reminded you that you are not suitable for the protagonist, you can try other roles.
I just couldn't grasp it myself, so who can be blamed?
Next, only Li Man is left...
Ever since she lost the aura of "seeking girls", her career has never been able to develop.
I don’t know...whether Director Xu can remember the old love this time...
…
Looking at the girl who walked in, Xu Xin felt a little bit of a sigh in his heart.
He had a face-to-face meeting with Li Man once, and that was when Xu Xin saw her coming out of the hotel and getting into the commercial vehicle just after arriving on the set of "Golden Armor".
After that side, her face was bitten by a mosquito, and then she had a chance for Yang Mi.
As the "Mou Girl" at that time, Li Man's topicality can be said to be quite sufficient.
Even after his wife came to power, he vaguely remembered the unfavorable arguments of many website media.
But now...
The status of the two is no longer the same.
For a while, I was really moved.
Especially the moment when the two looked at each other.
Whether it's him or Li Man, both of them actually have some inner emotional turmoil in their eyes.
But he still didn't speak, and let Xue Yong control the audition process.
The other person who auditioned was also Huang Xiaoxian...
Soon, the 2-minute performance is over.
"Okay, it's ok, go back and wait for the notification."
Following Xue Yong's words, Li Man bowed politely:
"Thank you, teachers, for your hard work. Goodbye."
After she left, Xue Yong glanced at Xu Xin, waiting for the document in his hand to land.
Is it eliminated or promoted?
Under Xue Yong's gaze, Xu Xin thought for a while, and then his eyes fell on the two documents in the "eliminated" basket.
After making some comparisons, he picked up a pen and wrote three words on the back of Li Man's profile:
"Kind girl."
Put into the promotion basket.
"Next person."
Xue Yong's voice sounded at the right time.
The first actor promoted to "33 Days of Broken Relationship" was born.
It’s over, I forgot to write the title. Awkward…
