Chapter 1290 Audition
Except for Teacher Li Xuejian, other actors rushed to Spring City one after another before the afternoon.
Du Wei was accompanied by her sister Du Fei on leave, Liu Ye was accompanied by Xie Wei, Huang Bo and Tang Wei both arrived by plane alone, Chen Daoming and Chen Baoguo each brought an assistant.
Liu Ye came earlier. Although he and Xie Wei will be the front line of the entertainment industry in the future, the young couple at this time are full of humility and prudence.
Li Mu is not a fan of Liu Ye, let alone a fan of Xie Hao. If possible, he would prefer Liu Ye's role to be played by an actor with sufficient acting skills and experience, but unfortunately, this role must be younger. It seems that Leonardo in the Titanic must be very young, and among the young actors in the mainland, it is probably very difficult to find someone who is more suitable than Liu Ye.
Liu Ye and Xie Na showed absolute respect when facing Li Mu, Spielberg, and other seniors. This humble attitude made Li Mu relatively satisfied.
Su Yingxue's cousin Wang Xinran came from Yanjing accompanied by her mother Su Yuehua. Su Yuehua was not at ease to let Wang Xinran fly from Yanjing to Spring City by herself, so she deliberately asked for leave and wanted to stay with her in Spring City until the end of the press conference.
Coincidentally, Wang Xinran and her mother Su Yuehua chose the same flight as sisters Du Wei and Du Fei. Although they were in different cabins, when they landed, the four of them rushed from the airport to the hotel in a staff car.
Wang Xinran was very excited along the way. Although the school started tomorrow, she deliberately asked the teacher for leave. This time Li Mu invited her to participate in the performance, which was a big happy event for her. No. 2, has already gathered some popularity and fame in the film and television circle, and is the envy of all acting students in the film school.
This time, Wang Xinran did not disclose the news of her participation to anyone other than her parents and relatives, but she also had some vanity in her heart. She knew that when she came to participate in the press conference this time, she was waiting for the crew to tell her. The news of myself and other actors participating in the performance has been announced to the public, so I don't have to wait for myself to return to Yanjing, the students at the Film Academy must already know all about it.
Thinking about it carefully, I am afraid that no one of the current acting students in the film academy is really lucky. They played the second female lead in a film that broke the box office before they entered the school. Now they have the opportunity to participate in such a lot of attention. The century blockbuster, everyone would envy their luck, but they would never dream that their idol Li Mu, whom they were obsessed with all day long, was actually their sister's boyfriend.
Unlike Wang Xinran, who was very excited, Du Wei didn't have much excitement and excitement for the film. Although countless actresses yearned for her role to the point of madness, for her, what she thought of was basically Li Mu's attitude towards herself. His trust and preference, in short, Li Mu let himself act, and he acted well, and it was right not to let him down.
When the four of them arrived, the other actors had already arrived. Li Mu arranged for them in the hotel's multimedia room. Spielberg wanted to get to know you one by one here, and explain to you some of the filming plans for the film in detail. , the core focus, while also working with his assistants to give each actor a simple audition.
All Chinese actors were chosen by Li Mulai. Although Spielberg rarely split the power of casting actors, he was cooperating with Li Mu after all. He made a very big concession in principle. He won't think about changing the role, but as a director, he must also have a good understanding of each actor's acting status, so although this audition is not about everyone's departure or stay, it is about everyone in Spielberg. image in mind.
Seeing Li Mu, Wang Xinran was extremely happy. She hadn't seen Li Mu for a long time. She knew that Li Mu was a busy person and ran around all day long. It was not easy for her sister to see him, let alone herself.
Li Mu also greeted Wang Xinran very warmly, and did not forget Su Yuehua next to her, and said politely, "Auntie Su, you are here too."
"Yeah." Su Yuehua said with a smile, "I don't worry about Xinran traveling alone, and I deliberately asked for leave. If I had known that Du Fei and Du Wei happened to be on the same flight, I wouldn't have come."
Li Mu looked at Du Fei and Du Wei who came in together, and asked curiously, "Are you on the same flight?"
Duffy nodded and smiled: "I was chatting with Xiaowei after boarding the plane, and Xinran and Auntie came in."
Du Wei and Wang Xinran have worked together in a play, and they have known each other for a long time, and they are also friends, but this time, Li Mu has always kept the cast a secret, so they both kept secrets by agreement, and neither of them had asked each other, but When the two met on the plane, they were not surprised, they both felt that it was natural for Li Mu to invite each other to join the movie.
Li Mu smiled and said to Du Wei and Wang Xinran: "I'm afraid you two will take a lot of leave this semester. After our press conference is over, you have to communicate with the school in advance. If you fail the final exam, I won't be able to. Yan faces Aunt Su and Duffy."
Su Yuehua said: "This movie is of such great significance, and it will definitely be a lifetime gain for the children. It doesn't matter if the class is delayed. Let the two children read more books and learn by themselves after filming."
Wang Xinran said: "Mom, you are trying to exhaust your daughter to death, and you have to read books and teach yourself after filming..."
Su Yuehua smiled and said, "That's what I said, but I didn't expect you to really see it."
Li Mu smiled slightly and said, "Come on, let me introduce to you first, Director Spielberg in Hollywood. This cooperation with Director Spielberg is just the beginning of the cooperation between Makino Imaging and Hollywood. In the future, the company will cooperate with Spielberg. Director Berg and the Hollywood production team have in-depth cooperation, so the two of you must work hard to leave a good impression on Director Spielberg, and maybe he will invite you to film in Hollywood in the future."
Du Wei nodded obediently, her expression not showing too much surprise, but Wang Xinran was surprised by Li Mu's words and nodded excitedly.
Spielberg, that is a master admired by the entire film school from students to professors. It is a great honor to work with him. If there is a chance to be invited by him to make a movie in Hollywood, even if it is a fifth-line supporting role. , enough to wake up laughing in his sleep.
Afterwards, Spielberg used his own courseware to tell everyone about the plot, style, vision and character positioning of the film in detail. After explaining many details of the film clearly, he began to screen out the screenplays he had screened. clips, and hand them over to the appropriate actors to prepare them for auditions.
Spielberg's assistant set up the camera, ready to record the whole process of everyone's audition. As a director, Spielberg needs to constantly study the characteristics of these actors, as well as their strengths and weaknesses, to consider for everyone A great set of shots.
The first person who started the audition was Mr. Chen Daoming. He didn't have many roles. This audition was a clip of Principal Jiang's impassioned delivery of instructions to his subordinates when he decided to develop the National Army and Air Force.
There was no partner during the audition. Everyone performed their own clips in front of the air and the camera. It was more difficult than the actual filming, but the old drama bone was the old drama bone. Before the performance was immersed in it, after one time, Spielberg gave a thumbs up and praised in English: "Very good, if it is in the case of real shooting, this should be over once."
Then, Mr. Chen Baoguo and Mr. Li Xuejian passed it all without exception. Especially Mr. Li Xuejian's performance made Spielberg's expression involuntarily amazed for a moment.
Compared with these old actors, the performances of other young actors are relatively weak. Among them, Huang Bo is the best performer. Spielberg only corrected it once, and his performance has passed Spielberg's performance. assessment.
The three girls, Du Wei, Tang Wei, and Wang Xinran, always lacked some war-time vibes in their performances. Fortunately, Spielberg patiently communicated with everyone through translation for a long time, telling them how to Grasping the characteristics of the times in the war years, the three of them are also actors with certain acting talents, so they can basically satisfy Spielberg.
In Spielberg's words, today is only a brief contact. Although some people's acting skills are a little lacking, I believe that in the next few months of cooperation, he will definitely help everyone find that feeling, which is what he is good at. It is also his responsibility as a director.
...
Spielberg was satisfied with the actors as a whole, and even exceeded his original expectations, which also made Li Mu relieved.
After all, it is a big production that carries the image of the country and the nation. If Spielberg really thinks that any of the actors he has chosen is not good, he can only grit his teeth and replace it, whether it is Du Wei, who he has always preferred, or he feels very Liu Ye who suits this image.
At seven thirty in the evening, the dinner began.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the old Flying Tigers and their relatives had already returned to the hotel. The staff arranged for them to rest for two hours before inviting them to the banquet hall.
The highlight of this dinner is for the actors to meet the old heroes, pay tribute to them, and learn about them, their stories, their memories of history, and their inner world during the Anti-Japanese War.
After the old heroes took their seats, Li Mu took the microphone of the hotel and introduced to everyone: "Old seniors, the main actors of our Chinese nationality have all arrived in Spring City today, and they all respect the old seniors without exception, so they also They all hope to formally express their respect to the seniors, so before the dinner begins, all our cast members and staff will pay tribute to the seniors!"
As soon as the voice fell, the actors who had been waiting outside the banquet hall for a long time entered the stage in order of age. When the eldest teacher Li Xuejian took the lead, many of the Chinese old Flying Tiger players exclaimed. Out loud: "It's Jiao Yulu!"...
