Chapter 899 Audition
Brilliant Entertainment Company, President's Office.
Tan Yue called Chen Ye to the office: "Xiao Ye, go and deliver these two documents to the artist management department."
"Okay, Mr. Tan."
After Chen Ye closed the door and went out, Tan Yue picked up a document on the table and read it. It contained Zhang Shengwen's personal information.
After Brilliant Entertainment Company released the actor audition news on its official website, as of yesterday, it had received nearly 500 resumes from artists or amateurs in and out of the circle.
Among them, there are many big stars. Some artists also inquired through their own channels which director the drama was directed by. If it was not Tan Yue's work, it would be unnecessary for them to lower their prices to shoot the work of a small director.
However, most of the resumes submitted were small actors who were not very famous.
As long as they can make money, they can accept almost any TV series, not to mention the film and television works produced by Brilliant Entertainment Company.
Over the years, Brilliant Entertainment Company has become more and more influential in the industry. If they get on the bandwagon, they can rise to the top in one step.
Lin Qingye carefully sorted out everyone's resume, selected five people according to Tan Yue's requirements, and submitted them to Tan Yue yesterday.
Zhang Shengwen is one of them.
After getting the information of the five people, Tan Yue learned about each of them, from their past life to the works they have performed, and carefully studied these people.
Now only Zhang Shengwen is left in Tan Yue's hands. It is obvious that the other four people did not meet Tan Yue's requirements.
Tan Yue felt that Zhang Shengwen had a temperament similar to "Gao Qiqiang", and more importantly, his acting skills were online.
Last night, Tan Yue studied all the works Zhang Shengwen had performed, and was very shocked. He was sure that this must be a buried old actor.
Whether it was an insignificant role or a supporting role with more scenes, Zhang Shengwen perfectly presented the role in terms of form and expression, and some clips were even able to overwhelm the protagonist.
He is of the same type as Ma Guoliang, and he can act like what he plays.
This type of actor can allow the audience to immerse themselves in the plot in a very short time.
Especially in the works of recent years, Tan Yue felt that Zhang Shengwen was deliberately controlling his acting skills and not fully releasing them.
Tan Yue guessed that it might have something to do with the director. Sometimes in order to highlight the protagonist, the director would deliberately let the supporting actors restrain their acting.
Zhang Shengwen played marginal roles and had not left any impression in the audience's mind, which was very helpful in shaping the role of Gao Qiqiang.
Tan Yue put the information aside, picked up the cup and drank a sip of tea to moisten his throat.
As for whether Zhang Shengwen can successfully play the role of Gao Qiqiang, he will have to wait until the audition three days later.
Tan Yue was very satisfied with Zhang Shengwen's temperament and acting skills, so he only arranged him.
It may be a bit bold in the eyes of others. After all, it is a very important role in the play. If you don't find a few more actors to audition, the importance of the character will not be highlighted.
But Tan Yue believes that a person who has been settled for so long will definitely have his own explosion. Many old actors just lack an opportunity to show themselves.
Thinking of this, Tan Yue couldn't help looking forward to it.
The TV series "Kuang Biao" portrayed the character of Gao Qiqiang with flesh and blood, and was liked by many people. If Zhang Shengwen could play this role, his own career would reach another height.
This matter has been verified on Earth.
Three days later.
Beijing, Brilliant Entertainment Company.
"It is worthy of being a first-class entertainment company in China. The decoration is also great."
"Calm down, you will get used to it after a few more times. This is my second audition at Brilliant Entertainment Company."
"How was the result?"
"Not good. The audition of Brilliant Entertainment Company is very strict. I advise you to prepare well."
"I feel a little nervous when you say that."
"Well, what are you nervous about? Just leave it to fate. If you can pass, it's best. If you don't pass, wait for the next opportunity."
The two chatted and came to a large conference room in the TV series department under the guidance of the staff of Brilliant Entertainment Company.
"So many people!"
The conference room was already full of people, many of whom knew each other.
Speaking of which, this circle is not big. These actors who are not very famous shuttle between various sets and know quite a lot of people.
The two found a good seat and waited for a while. When they saw Lin Qingye coming in with a cup of water, they were very excited.
Because they knew that the director of this play was most likely Lin Qingye, and generally only directors would come to audition.
After Lin Qingye sat down, he patted the prepared microphone, and the whole conference room soon became quiet.
"Thank you very much for coming to the Brilliant Entertainment Company for the audition today. I saw many familiar faces among them. Thank you for your support. I won't say much. I hope everyone will keep quiet during the audition."
Under Lin Qingye's hosting, the audition of the actors of "Kuangbi" began.
Of course, the actors present did not know what part they were going to audition for, but just performed according to Lin Qingye's requirements.
The actors selected by Lin Qingye were all supporting roles, but they were still very strict.
Most people in the conference room were extremely nervous, and some people were used to it.
Zhang Shengwen, who was sitting in the crowd, was a relatively calm type. Auditions were small scenes for him, and he couldn't remember how many times he had experienced it.
Zhang Shengwen guessed that the role he was auditioning for might be male No. 5 or No. 6, like the villain's subordinate dog-headed military advisor. But watching the people around him being called over for auditions one by one, he felt a little disappointed. Why didn't he call his name? Did he come here in vain this time?
The requirements for small roles are not as strict as those for the protagonists. When they see the right actor, they will be directly decided.
Zhang Shengwen came to Brilliant Entertainment Company early in the morning and was really shocked by its scale. At the same time, he was full of envy, thinking that he would never have the opportunity to work in such a company in his life.
The audition continued.
At this time, someone suddenly opened the door and came in, attracting everyone's attention for a while.
Because of the surprise, the entire conference room fell into a brief silence, and then suddenly became noisy, because the person who came in was Tan Yue.
"Fuck, isn't this Mr. Tan Yue?"
"Oh my god, why is Mr. Tan Yue here?! I didn't expect to see Mr. Tan Yue again."
"Even if I didn't pass the audition this time, it was not in vain! I met my idol! I'm so lucky!"
"What's going on today? Why is Mr. Tan Yue also here for the audition?"
"I only heard of Mr. Tan Yue's name before, but today I finally saw him in person. He's so handsome!"
"Is this the man who is called God by the industry?"
"Is Mr. Tan Yue also here to host the audition? I'm going to perform well later."
Everyone got excited because of Tan Yue's appearance.
Even though they are all in the entertainment industry and have seen many big stars on various sets, Tan Yue is a legendary figure in their eyes.
Creating box office miracles one after another, the ratings of TV dramas have repeatedly set new highs.
Tan Yue has countless halos on him, and he rarely appears in the public eye. The actors who came to the audition could not control their excitement, and some actresses had sparkles in their eyes.
Zhang Shengwen naturally noticed Tan Yue coming in, and his eyes were full of admiration.
Tan Yue is the first person in the entertainment industry to have won so many honors at this age.
Now that he is about to turn fifty, he is like an ordinary person when he goes out. No one knows him and he has no representative works. Zhang Shengwen sighed and suddenly felt that he was a failure. After 20 years of debut, he is still an ordinary person.
The cheers around him continued. Zhang Shengwen sighed and thought that he might not be as famous as Tan Yue in his life and be recognized by so many people.
Lin Qingye on the stage nodded.
Tan Yue took the microphone: "I hope everyone will not be nervous, relax and show their best side."
There was a cheer from the audience.
Tan Yue smiled and said, "Let's continue the audition."
The meeting room soon became quiet. They didn't want to be cleared out because of the noise. But the excitement on everyone's faces could not be hidden, because Tan Yue also sat down.
The actors who had not yet auditioned had already begun to fantasize about being selected by Tan Yue and starring in his movie.
Tan Yue glanced at the list and looked for Zhang Shengwen in the crowd. The moment he saw him, he nodded with satisfaction.
Zhang Shengwen in the audience has also been paying attention to Tan Yue. At this moment, he felt that he seemed to have hallucinations. He seemed to see Tan Yue smiling at him. He shook his head and thought not to have these unrealistic ideas.
Time passed by minute by minute. A staff member came to Zhang Shengwen with a note and whispered: "This is the content you need to audition. It's your turn to perform in 20 minutes."
"Thank you!"
After the staff left, Zhang Shengwen lowered his head to read the audition requirements, but did not notice that Tan Yue's eyes looked at him again.
Audition is a very simple process. Sometimes there are only a few words to let the actors play themselves.
After reading the content on the note word by word, Zhang Shengwen had a general understanding of the role he was about to audition.
A gangster boss who climbed up from the bottom, no longer has the arrogance of his youth, and now he is introverted and mature in everything from doing things to being a person.
Zhang Shengwen frowned and was a little confused. For actors like them who entered the crew for audition, the content of the audition is similar to the role they play. After all, it is to prepare for the filming of a TV series.
There is a little difference from the role of "Dog-headed Military Advisor" that I originally wanted. If it is really related to the role in the play, it may also be a short-lived boss.
Zhang Shengwen still has a doubt in his heart. Since the audition began, he has not seen an actor play such a role.
Many people's roles are of the same type at first glance.
But there is no time for him to think more, and now he has to figure out the role quickly.
Twenty minutes to understand a role is of course a bit hasty, but for an audition, it is relatively normal, and there are so many people queuing behind the scene.
Now is the time to test whether an actor has real acting skills.
During Zhang Shengwen's preparation, Tan Yue's eyes would pay attention to Zhang Shengwen from time to time, watching him prepare seriously.
The attitude of the actor is also Tan Yue's selection standard. Without a serious attitude, it is difficult to succeed in doing anything.
The audition test questions given to Zhang Shengwen this time are based on Gao Qiqiang's character.
Tan Yue originally planned to let him play "Gao Qiqiang", so there is no need to use other test questions to test Zhang Shengwen's acting skills.
If it is really suitable, it can be confirmed on the spot, saving time for another audition.
Tan Yue also wants to see how Zhang Shengwen will shape the character under such a tight time schedule.
Old actors are called old actors because they have a very good grasp of the characters.
The auditioning actors left one by one, and the number of people in the conference room became smaller and smaller.
Twenty minutes later.
"Go back and wait for notification." Lin Qingye's voice came.
As the actors closed the door and left, Zhang Shengwen was the only one left among the auditioners.
Zhang Shengwen looked up and looked around the empty conference room, a little surprised. He didn't expect that he would be the last person to audition. Seeing the smiling Tan Yue, an inexplicable thought flashed through his mind: Teacher Tan Yue is not waiting to see my performance?
Then this thought was thrown behind him. He knew his own weight and was not qualified to let such a big man wait for him.
In Zhang Shengwen's view, this may be an important reason why Brilliant Entertainment Company can achieve such great success.
Let alone other crews, as far as his own company is concerned, the vice president will never appear in such an audition occasion.
Lin Qingye did not use the microphone and said directly: "You are the only one now. If you are not ready, I can give you more time."
He naturally knew why Tan Yue appeared at this audition today, because he was the only person sitting below.
Tan Yue rarely participated in these large-scale auditions in the past.
At the beginning, Lin Qingye took a fancy to Zhang Shengwen because he had a certain temperament. Now that he has time to take a closer look, he is indeed quite good, but I don’t know if he can take on such a big burden.
Zhang Shengwen nodded and said: "I am ready, we can start now."
Lin Qingye glanced at Tan Yue and then said: "Let’s start."
The moment the voice fell, Zhang Shengwen seemed to be a completely different person. His performance was easy-going, but he also revealed a seriousness that was intimidating without anger.
In the twenty minutes of preparation, he had already put himself into the role. Now he is the boss of the "gangster" who climbed up step by step from the bottom.
Non-object performance is a must for professional actors. Zhang Shengwen spoke some of his designed lines to the air.
From his tone, lines, and expression, Tan Yue and Lin Qingye could clearly tell what kind of person he was talking to.
Speaking to people in a human way and speaking to ghosts in a ghost way is an important reason why a person can rise to a high position.
Zhang Shengwen was completely immersed in the role and showed his best state. This opportunity was very important to him and he must seize it.
Tan Yue and Lin Qingye watched Zhang Shengwen's performance, and the scenes in the script automatically appeared in their minds.
