Chapter 1290 Audition

Except for Teacher Li Xuejian, the other actors rushed to Spring City before the afternoon.

Du Wei was accompanied by her sister Du Fei on leave, Liu Ye was accompanied by Xie Yu, Huang Bo and Tang Wei arrived by plane alone, and Chen Daoming and Chen Baoguo each brought an assistant.

Liu Ye came earlier, although he and Xie Kuan will be the front line of the entertainment industry in the future, but this young couple at this time is full of humility and prudence.

Li Mu is not a fan of Liu Ye, let alone Xie Yu. If possible, he hopes that Liu Ye's role will be played by an actor with sufficient acting skills and experience. Unfortunately, this role must be younger, so It seems that Leonardo in the Titanic must be very young, and among the young actors in mainland China, it may be very difficult to find a more suitable overall situation than Liu Ye.

When Liu Ye and Xie Na faced Li Mu, Spielberg, and other seniors, they showed absolute respect. This kind of 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 Chuncheng alone, so she deliberately asked for leave, and wanted to stay with her in Chuncheng until the end of the press conference.

Coincidentally, Wang Xinran and her mother Su Yuehua chose the same flight as Du Wei and Du Fei's sisters. Although they were in different cabins, when they landed, the four of them rushed from the airport to the hotel in the car of the staff.

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 "Flying Tigers", which was a great joy for her. Successfully playing the second female role in "Those Years", she has already gained some popularity and fame in the film and television circle, and she is the envy of all acting students in the Film Academy.

This time, Wang Xinran did not disclose the news that she was going to participate in "Flying Tigers" to anyone other than her parents and relatives, but she was also a little bit vanity in her heart. She knew that when she came to the press conference this time, I just waited for the crew to announce the news of myself and other actors participating in the performance, so I don't have to wait until I return to Yanjing, the students of the Film Academy must already know all about it.

Thinking about it carefully, among the acting students currently enrolled at the Film Academy, I am afraid that no one is as lucky as me. I played the second female lead in a record-breaking movie without entering the school, and now I have the opportunity to participate in such a high-profile film. The blockbuster movie of the century, presumably everyone would envy their luck, but they would never have imagined that Li Mu, the idol they were so obsessed with all day long, was actually their sister's boyfriend.

Unlike the excited Wang Xinran, Du Wei didn't have much excitement about taking on the role in this movie. Although countless actresses longed for her role to the point of madness, for her, she basically thought of Li Mu's love for her. In short, if Li Mu asked him to act, he should act well and not let him down.

When the four of them arrived, the other actors had already arrived. Li Mu arranged everyone in the hotel's multimedia hall, where Spielberg wanted to meet everyone one by one and explain the shooting plan of the movie in detail. , core focus, and at the same time, together with his assistant, a simple audition for each actor.

All Chinese actors are selected by Li Mulai. Although Spielberg seldom distributes the power of actor selection, he is cooperating with Li Mu after all. He has made a very big concession of principle. Li Mu chose He will not think about changing the role, but as a director, he must also understand the acting status of each actor, so although this audition is not about whether everyone will go or stay, it is about everyone in Spielberg. image in mind.

Seeing Li Mu, Wang Xinran was very happy. She hadn't seen Li Mu for a long time, and she knew that Li Mu was a busy person, and he was running around all day. It was not easy for her sister to see him, let alone herself.

Li Mu also greeted Wang Xinran very warmly,

Not forgetting Su Yuehua next to her, she said politely, "Aunt Su, you're here too."

"That's right." Su Yuehua said with a smile, "I'm worried about Xinran going out 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 here."

Li Mu looked at Du Fei and Du Wei who came in together, and asked curiously, "Are you two here on the same flight?"

Du Fei nodded and said with a smile: "Xiaowei and I were chatting after boarding the plane, and Xinran and Auntie came in."

Du Wei and Wang Xinran have worked together in a movie, they have known each other for a long time, and they are also friends, but this time Li Mu has kept the cast a secret, so both of them kept the secret by coincidence, and neither of them asked each other about it, but They were not surprised when they met on the plane, and both felt that it was only natural for Li Mu to invite each other to join the film.

Li Mu smiled and said to Du Wei and Wang Xinran: "I'm afraid you two will have to 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 will have nothing to do." Yan confronted Aunt Su and Du Fei."

Su Yuehua said: "This movie is so meaningful, and it must be a lifelong harvest for the children. It doesn't matter if you miss the class, just let the two children read books and study for themselves after filming."

Wang Xinran said: "Mom, you are going to exhaust your daughter to death, and you have to study by yourself after filming..."

Su Yuehua smiled and said: "That's all 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, the Hollywood director Spielberg, this cooperation with director Spielberg is just the beginning of the cooperation between Makino Image and Hollywood, and the company will cooperate with Spielberg in the future." Director Spielberg and the Hollywood production team have in-depth cooperation, so you two must work hard to leave a good impression on Director Spielberg, maybe he will invite you to Hollywood to film in the future."

Du Wei nodded obediently, her expression did not show much surprise, but Wang Xinran was shocked by Li Mu's words, and nodded excitedly.

Spielberg is a master admired by the entire film academy from students to professors. It is a great honor to work with him. If he really has the opportunity to be invited by him to make a movie in Hollywood, even if it is a supporting role , It's enough to make myself wake up with a smile in my sleep.

Later, Spielberg used his own courseware to tell everyone in detail the plot, style, vision and role positioning of the movie "Flying Tigers". After explaining many details in the movie clearly, he began to describe himself The selected screenplay script fragments are handed over to the corresponding actors, and let them prepare for the audition.

Spielberg's assistant set up the camera, ready to record the whole audition process of each person. As the director, Spielberg needs to constantly study the characteristics of these actors, as well as their strengths and weaknesses, and consider each person Good full set of shooting plan.

The first one to audition was Mr. Chen Daoming. He didn't have many roles. The audition role this time was a segment of Principal Jiang impassionedly conveying instructions to his subordinates when he decided to develop the national army and air force.

There was no partner during the audition, and everyone performed the clips in their hands in front of the air and the camera. It was more difficult than filming in real life, but an old drama is an old drama. After thinking about the script several times, he stood in front of the camera Spielberg gave a thumbs up and praised in English: "It's very good. If it's in a real shooting situation, this one should be over once."

After that, Mr. Chen Baoguo and Mr. Li Xuejian all passed 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. The best performance among them is Huang Bo. Spielberg only corrected it once, and his performance has already passed Spielberg's assessment.

The three girls, Du Wei, Tang Wei, and Wang Xinran, always lacked some atmosphere of the war years when they performed. Fortunately, Spielberg patiently communicated with everyone through the translator for a long time, telling them how to be in the Grasping the characteristics of the war era in mind, the three of them are also actors with certain acting talents, so they can basically satisfy Spielberg.

In Spielberg's words, today is just a short contact, although some people's acting skills are still a little lacking, but I believe that in the next few months of cooperation, he will help everyone find that feeling, which is what he is good at It is also his duty as a director.

...

Spielberg was quite satisfied with the actors as a whole, and even exceeded his original expectations, which made Li Mu heave a sigh of relief.

After all, it is a big production that bears 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 favored, or who he thinks is very good. Liu Ye is suitable for this image.

At seven thirty in the evening, the dinner party began.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the old Flying Tigers and their relatives had already returned to the hotel, and the staff arranged for them to rest for two hours before inviting them to the banquet hall.

The highlight of this dinner is to let the actors meet the old heroes, pay tribute to them, and get to know 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 hotel microphone and introduced to everyone: "Seniors, today our "Flying Tigers" Chinese main actors have all arrived in Spring City, and without exception, they all have a heart for you seniors." Therefore, they also hope to formally express their respect to the old seniors, so before the dinner starts, all our cast and crew, as well as all the staff, will pay tribute to the old seniors together!"

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 oldest teacher Li Xuejian entered the stage first, many of the Chinese Flying Tigers members exclaimed Say: "It's Jiao Yulu!"
