Chapter 266 A Chopstick Was Gently Broken

The staff notified Chen Minhao that the audition time was 2:30 pm. Chen Minhao was worried that being late due to the traffic jam would leave a bad impression on the director, so he set off early and arrived at the audition at 2:00.

Director Hu Defa may be worried that the actors will see other people's performances, which will affect the fairness of the audition, so he deliberately emphasized yesterday not to arrive early.

Chen Minhao sat in the car until 2:15 before getting off. The staff member Xiao Jiang told Chen Minhao that today's audition is to play against other actors with makeup on.

Chen Minhao's audition yesterday was actually more like an audition, just acting. Today's audition will judge an actor from more dimensions, whether he is suitable for the role: camera sense, appearance, whether he can rub sparks with other actors, etc.

After Chen Minhao put on his makeup, the audition of the last actor was over. Director Hu Defa commented on his performance inside. Chen Minhao standing at the door could listen to an overview:

"During the whole performance, you used some small performance skills to achieve your own goals. Of course, some professional skills can indeed add highlights to your performance, but you don't need to deliberately show off these skills.

Maybe your kung fu is not good enough. I feel that your acting skills are 'mechanical' and 'without personal characteristics'. Okay, that's the end of your audition today. As for what I said, go back and think about it. "

"Okay, thank you Director Hu."

As soon as Chen Minhao heard that the conversation inside was about to end, he immediately retreated to a place 3 meters away from the door, staring at the ceiling in a daze, so as not to see himself standing at the door when the other party came out, thinking that he was eavesdropping .

After Jing Yongchang pushed the door, when he saw Chen Minhao, he was stunned for a moment, then nodded to Chen Minhao, and finally gave Chen Minhao a condescending sympathetic look, and left directly.

Chen Minhao has a black question mark face in his heart. JPG: Who gave you the confidence to look at me like that? The bloody head scolded by Director Hu just now, now that he is out of the house, he has no compulsion at all?

Chen Minhao took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, opened the door and entered the audition room.

Chen Minhao saw Huang Feifei and Wang Ruozhou standing in the middle of the audition room, talking and laughing besides the director and investors who were sitting.

Seeing Chen Minhao coming in, Wei Ming immediately stood up and said, "Let me introduce you, this is the audition actor, Chen Minhao."

Huang Feifei flicked her long hair, and said softly: "We know each other, are we still familiar? Right, Chen Minhao."

Although Huang Feifei smiled softly, Chen Minhao felt a chill down his spine.

The movie "Detective" mainly tells the story of Jiang Long and Shao Fei, who managed to find the "lost gold" and find out the "true murderer" in just seven days while avoiding the pursuit of the police, the pursuit of bandits, and the siege of gangsters. , "clearing the name" for oneself, these "defying" tasks.

Chen Minhao thought that if he auditioned for a rival role, he would play opposite Jiang Long's actor. Then why is this woman Huang Feifei standing here?

Huang Feifei smiled lightly, came up and rubbed Chen Minhao's shoulders, and said to the others: "I didn't tell him that I wanted to play the role of Ah Chun. You see, Chen Minhao was so happy that he couldn't speak."

Wei Ming said in a "suddenly enlightened" tone: "Oh, you should be acting in "The Founding of the Country"."

Chen Minhao knew that Wei Ming was selling favors to others, to raise his value, and remind others that Chen Minhao had acted in "The Founding of a Country". He nodded slightly at Wei Ming, and Wei Ming smiled at him.

The man with a silly smile shook hands with Chen Minhao and said, "Hi, I'm Wang Ruozhou, and I play the role of Jiang Long in "Detective"."

Wang Ruozhou's appearance is mediocre, he can even be said to be below average, but his acting skills are good, especially in several comedies in recent years, and the response has been good.

Director Hu Defa lightly tapped the table with his fingers, and said: "Okay, let's stop here for the greetings. Chen Minhao, you can perform this clip later." After speaking, he picked up a piece of paper from the table.

As soon as he finished speaking, a staff member next to him handed the A4 paper to Chen Minhao.

Chen Minhao was very familiar with the script of "Detective". After reading the beginning, he knew which part he was waiting to audition for. But in order to avoid any omissions in memory, he patiently read it again.

Chen Minhao returned the A4 paper to the staff and signaled Director Hu to start auditioning himself.

Both Wang Ruozhou and Huang Feifei have good acting skills, and they immediately entered the state.

Wang Ruozhou squatted on the ground, as if watching something interesting, and let out a "giggle" laugh from time to time.

Chen Minhao walked over curiously, pushed Wang Ruozhou away, screamed, and sat down on the ground holding his eyes.

Huang Feifei walked over angrily, Wang Ruozhou immediately stood up, pointed at Chen Minhao and said: "You are young and don't learn well, how can you learn such things?"

Chen Minhao said with a confused face: "I...I. I didn't."

Wang Ruozhou immediately interrupted him, and said bitterly, "Nothing? Didn't you see enough? This time they poured hot water, but next time it will be sulfuric acid!"

Huang Feifei stared slightly, looked at Chen Minhao and asked, "Who are you?"

Chen Minhao stammered: "I, I, I, I am his cousin."

Wang Ruozhou interrupted Chen Minhao again, "Cousin, he is my cousin."

Wang Ruozhou took two steps forward, looked at Huang Feifei flatteringly and said, "Do you know who this beautiful, noble and kind person is? You peeked at me mercilessly."

Chen Minhao continued to look confused, and then Wang Ruozhou walked to Huang Feifei and said, "She is my landlady. The most beautiful woman in Chinatown, Ah Chun."

Hu Defa nodded and said: "Very good, Chen Minhao, with your cute expression now, your performance is much better than yesterday. You guys continue to try this scene." Director Hu Defa picked up another A4 paper from the table.

After Chen Minhao performed a few scenes, Hu Defa didn't comment, and let Chen Minhao go back directly.

In the hotel where Hood was staying, the ashtray was already full of cigarette butts.

Wei Ming couldn't remember how many times he watched the audition clips. He rubbed his temples and said, "The more I see it, the more I feel that Chen Minhao's acting is better than Jing Yongchang's." ,what do you think?"

Hu Defa lit another cigarette and said, "I'm not blind, I also think Chen Minhao is better, but the investors want Jing Yongchang."

Wei Ming got up and opened the window to let fresh air in, and said, "Oh, Director Hu, you are the director of "Detective", and you are the person in charge of this movie.

I’m not as talented as you. I only filmed TV dramas before, but let’s take “The Best Youth” that I worked with Chen Minhao as an example: at the beginning, the investor wanted Wu Yan’s actor to be Xiao Jing, But in the end let Chen Minhao come.

Let me tell you, the actor Chen Minhao is really spiritual. "The Best Youth" has the general credit for its current performance, all because of Chen Minhao.

If you insist on using Chen Minhao now, maybe the investors will not be happy for a while, but the box office is good in the end, everyone still praises you as a good director.

But if Jing Yongchang is allowed to act, the final performance will not be ideal. Do you think investors will think that the box office hit is the reason why they settled on Jing Yongchang? Certainly not, they will only think that you, as a director, have problems with your directing ability.

And to take a step back, the movie hasn't started shooting yet, so the investors don't take your opinion into consideration when it comes to the choice of an important role actor like the second male lead. After the filming started, what else might they be pointing fingers at?

What we in the art industry are most afraid of is laymen leading experts. Are there still few movies ruined by investors?

Hood was moved, put out the cigarette butt, and said: "You just say something, but it may not be useful if I say it. The problem now is that I say it, and the investors don't listen."

Seeing that his heart was moving, Wei Ming suppressed his ecstatic expression and said:

"One chopstick was slightly broken, and ten chopsticks were tightly hugged into a group. The director's opinion is on the one hand, and the actor's opinion is on the other. I just sent WeChat with Wang Ruozhou and Huang Feifei, and they both said that they Hejing Yongchang didn't call, but it was very comfortable to perform with Chen Minhao."

Hu Defa was still a little hesitant, and said, "Isn't this against the investor?"

Wei Ming felt a little irritable. He felt that Hu Defa was too tired, frowned, and said, "How can you say that you are right with the investor? Everyone is doing it for the better movie. Only when the movie is good can the investor make money." When it comes to money, it’s fine if Huang Feifei doesn’t call, Wang Ruozhou’s characters Jiang Long and Shao Fei have so many rival scenes, if the two actors don’t call, how can this script be performed?”

Hu Defa asked: "But will the two of them choose to oppose the investor for Chen Minhao?"
