Chapter 810 Professional!
Of course Nini’s acting skills are not very good!
She has not systematically studied acting, is not from a major, and has not worked hard in society. She has not had in-depth contact with people from all walks of life, and she does not have enough nourishment in life.
But it’s all about looking for girls right from the beginning, so it’s not unusual to keep going down.
Acting is a technical job. A good performance needs to be consistent with the logic of the character and unexpected. It requires accumulation and creativity.
Top actors either encounter unique roles or play unique roles.
For example, Marlon Brando, his performance in "The Godfather" is unique!
Nini is quite lucky and has decent resources. She has encountered unique roles, but she has not played a unique role - Yu Mo in "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling"...
What impressed me deeply was her swaying figure, but she didn't play the soul of this role enough. Frankly speaking, there are too many seniors who have played the role of prostitutes well, such as Yue Yaer, Yang Jiuhong, Jiang Wenli in Farewell My Concubine...
There are also many in Hong Kong, the typical one is Anita Mui in "Rouge"...
Compare it, it’s far different!
But... I can still give it a passing grade...
At least it's quite natural.
The lines are okay - she is the announcer and host, so if you have trouble pronouncing words, you don’t have to do it!
There is plasticity, but it cannot be achieved by relying on your own understanding.
So, I need some tips from good directors...
…
In the office, Shen Xudong did not audition directly. Instead, he poured her a cup of tea and chatted with her about his experience during this period.
Nini was a little nervous at first and unlikely to talk to him openly.
"During the two and a half years of training, have you ever thought about what you would do if the protagonist was not you in the end?"
"I really haven't thought about it..."
"He told you it must be you?"
"No...but he must have his own considerations when he chose me! I think it's not easy for him. Spending so much money on training us and hiring someone to give me English classes must be very expensive. I don't want to Let him down and let his money go to waste.”
Shen Xudong then asked: "I heard that Zhang Weiping wants to use Han Tingxi. Do you know about this?"
Nini nodded: "I know!"
"...are you nervous?"
"I only found out later, so I can't say I'm nervous..."
Shen Xudong understood, and then asked: "After the movie was released, did Director Zhang remind you anything?"
"He reminded me... He said, 'When you finish filming my drama, I will definitely become popular. So don't waste your time on love in the future and work hard in your career, otherwise I will never look for you to act in dramas again.'"
"...Haha..." Shen Xudong was delighted: "Then do you like acting?"
"...It's hard to tell!"
"Don't you enjoy this feeling of being surrounded by stars?"
"I haven't enjoyed it yet...I can't tell you!"
Shen Xudong asked again: "What about being an actor?"
"Be an actor?"
"Yes!" Shen Xudong continued: "Teacher Chen Daoming once said that being an actor is very enjoyable. You only need to figure out why the character says and does what he does and what his motivation is. Everything will be fine. Follow the development of the plot logically. You don’t have to think about which sentence offended whom or which behavior hurt whom. Everything is left to the drama. You can roar loudly when the plot requires it, or you can roar when the character is weak. Crying humbly, but showing peace of mind...don't you enjoy it? Perform a role successfully..."
Nini was a little confused and frowned slightly...
Shen Xudong simply changed the subject: "Then do you feel any different from before?"
Nini shook her head: "It's just a bit harder, and there are a lot more interviews. Actually, it's okay when I go out, and no one will recognize me. Maybe I'm just a popular face, not pretty, and there's nothing special about me."
"You are too modest... If you doubt your own appearance, wouldn't you doubt Director Zhang's vision and my vision?"
"Then director...what should I do later?"
"No need to do anything..."
Shen Xudong opened the drawer: "This is the script of "Detective Chinatown". You play Axiang. Remember to familiarize yourself with the script when you go back. Tomorrow...on the 26th, we will leave for Bangkok, Thailand..."
"Won't you try my acting skills?"
Shen Xudong smiled: "The tone and attitude you just spoke to me are considered a trial..."
Nini took the script: "Then...I'll go first?"
"Let's go,"
Hearing this, Nini turned around and was about to leave, but Shen Xudong suddenly remembered something: "By the way, the leading actor in our play is Wang Baoqiang."
Nini was stunned for a moment: "Baoqiang... I play a couple with him?"
"...Not a couple, they should be a licking dog and a goddess..."
Nini didn't understand this word very well, and suddenly remembered her agent's explanation, and asked Shen Xudong with a blushing face: "Director, can you give me your contact information, so I can ask you if I don't understand anything?"
"...Okay, add WeChat!"
…
It is also difficult for agents. Sometimes they know that this is a good resource, but they also know the price of getting this resource.
In the entertainment industry, getting laid is not a price at all. These are the rules of the game!
Keep up with the times - we want to enjoy the same treatment as Hollywood!
Of course, depending on her qualifications and position, Nini definitely has no shortage of resources.
When I started looking for girls, my attention was at the top level, but... again, high-quality resources are always scarce!
What are high-quality resources?
Let’s first clarify a concept: the mainstream film industry.
What is the mainstream film industry?
First, major domestic film investment companies: Tianmei, China Film, Enlight, Huayi, Bona, Shanghai Film, Wanda, LeTV, Media Asia (Hong Kong), Anle (Hong Kong), Jiaying, Emperor (Hong Kong), etc...
These companies control production and distribution channels, have rich film production experience and have the highest quality film resources.
The second is to divide it by region: Northwest Circle, Beijing Circle, Shanghai Circle, Hong Kong Circle, Taiwan Circle, etc.
Some of these geographically divided circles are stable and some are unstable, but it is not easy to get in. You need to rely on connections.
Nini must be considered a Tianmei type, and she is a Mou girl!
This is also the problem. She is not directly related to Tianmei. Her management team is independent of Tianmei Management Company - she is a contracted artist of Zhang Yi's studio.
Generally speaking, Tianmei's top resources will definitely not be given to her.
Because the priority must be your own people!
This is the situation...
Unless Zhang Yi Mou specifically says hello...
But apart from movies, Zhang Yimou rarely cares about anything else...
Is there another way to break the situation?
Of course - I have a good relationship with Shen Xudong...
This is why Pu Lun must let her audition...
But... Pu Lun is not a professional agent - she used to be Zhang Yi's assistant director and worked in movies, so she doesn't know many things outside of the crew.
You are like Wen Yongshan who squatted down immediately after entering the office...
What is this called?
This is called professionalism!
Oh...Last year Wen Yongshan wanted to buy a house in Hong Kong, but she didn't have enough money, so Shen Xudong supported half of it...
Wen Yongshan's image is very suitable for playing that kind of weak female role, the kind that can inspire the desire to protect!
Therefore, she is the heroine in "School 2010" and "Xia Family's Three Daughters"...
"School 2010" is PPTV's annual hit. Not only did the distribution price set a record of 1.1 million for a single episode (purchased by 8 video platforms), but it was also purchased by TV stations in four countries: Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Thailand...
Moreover, the theme of campus bullying has quickly become a hot topic, and even TVB has launched a film and television series on bullying...
Wen Yongshan can be regarded as having his own masterpiece.
Oh, "The Three Daughters of the Xia Family", she played Xia Mei, just that silly Baitian...
With Jiahe helping to build momentum, she is considered the most developed Hong Kong star of the new generation - she played Gu Shaotang in "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate"...
Therefore, she is determined to win the "Tang Detective" project.
Shen Xudong is quite embarrassed...
Because he had already promised Nini, he quickly asked, "How is your Mandarin practice going?"
