Didn't you say that we would lose money after filming?

Chapter 175 Casting for "Crazy" (3)

At this moment, the casting is in full swing and the crew's resident studio is already packed with people.

Xia Yuan sat in the main seat, frowning as he looked at the young actor who was standing in the circle in front of him and performing.

"I said I'm fine, no need to take a film!!"

"Officer, I don't have to pay for this film, right?"

"That was my TV! I smashed my TV! That was the TV I gave him!"

"After the Chinese New Year, all the stalls in our market will be disrupted, right?"

"In my case, I sell seafood. As you know, if it's disrupted, I have to find someone to move my equipment, which is quite troublesome."

"Didn't you just say we were going to draw lots? Then you can just say I won my original stall, isn't that enough?!"

"Alas." Xia Yuan sighed: "Stop for a moment."

The actor stopped his performance and looked at Xia Yuan with a nervous expression.

Xia Yuan was silent for a moment, then said, "Turn around a few times."

Upon hearing this, the actor cooperated very well and turned around a few times under the spotlight.

Xia Yuan put one hand on his chest, and the other arm on top, with his hand on his chin. His eyes showed a thoughtful look, and his brows were still furrowed. He said again: "Laugh a few times."

"Hahahaha." The actor tried his best, using what he thought was the greatest acting tension, and laughed.

"Okay, stop." Xia Yuan paused: "Cry."

"Wow, wow, wow," the actor began to cry.

Although she squeezed out tears very quickly and entered into crying scenes very quickly, in theory she has reached the passing line of many directors and is capable of handling many crying scenes.

In fact, the strength is not low.

But Xia Yuan still shook his head: "Go back and wait for notification."

When Xia Yuan said this, the actor was stunned.

We have all been in the circle for so many years, and we all understand what this sentence means.

The actor immediately walked away with his head down, a little disappointed.

"Director Xia, what's going on?" There were also several directors watching.

These are the new directors recruited by Heye Film and Television.

Now they are also going to start a new play. According to Xia Yuan, they should follow more and learn well for a period of time.

It would be good if we could improve the strength of several people in the shortest possible time.

After all, in Xia Yuan's opinion, the abilities of these directors are somewhat disappointing.

At least he can't just watch his wife's money being lost by others, right?
Naturally, several directors nodded repeatedly and cherished this opportunity.

After all, Xia Yuan's level and current achievements are obvious to all, and it is a good thing to learn more.

After all, which director doesn't want to improve himself and become a director like Xia Yuan as soon as possible?
So they also started asking the same question to the actor just now, making it clear that they wanted to learn.

"You used too much force." Xia Yuan shook his head.

Then he looked at the directors and said, "I'm going to ask you a few questions now. You've all read the first part of Gao Qiqiang's script, right?"

"Yes, I have."

“I have studied it carefully.”

"some."

"So what do you think the character of Gao Qiqiang should be like?" Xia Yuan asked.

"An honest man who was bullied?" a director replied.

"He's just an ordinary fishmonger. He has to swallow his anger to make money. And he has to support his younger brothers and sisters to go to school, so he has to give in to some things, just like many ordinary people."

"What you said is all right." Xia Yuan said. But he quickly added: "But it's not entirely right."

Several people were stunned and looked at Xia Yuan, waiting for an answer.

Xia Yuancai said, "As for Gao Qiqiang, you can probably tell from the script that he will undergo several obvious transitions in the middle and late stages. As for the first stage, you are right, but he still needs some madness, just like an expansion screw that has been tightened. It will burst with just the last bit of force, but it has not burst yet. On the contrary, he has to suppress that feeling. The dispute between him and the two brothers of the Tang family is actually the first crack in the wall caused by the screws that have been tightened for so many years."

Xia Yuan said: "This is called role interpretation. When we select actors, we first need to consider whether the actor's state fits the role and whether he can perform this state. The second is his overall level and acting skills. In the result I want, Gao Qiqiang should be the kind of cowardly person who is forced to be oppressed by life.

He can laugh, but he can't laugh so happily. He can cry, but it's definitely not so heartbreaking. His performance doesn't have the feeling I want."

Xia Yuan shook his head.

Several directors looked at each other.

They also didn't expect that there would be so many twists and turns in the selection of an actor for a role.

Because if it were them, they might have let the actor pass.

The reason is very simple. It is because the other party is quite capable, has a decent image, and looks good on camera. In addition, the other party is a second-tier star, so he has a certain influence.

But Xia Yuan continued, "In my company, the influence of actors is almost nonexistent. I don't consider how famous an actor is. I don't value these things at all. I hope you can also remember that we at Heye Films don't follow this. I won't use you just because you are famous. There is no such thing."

"Understood!"

"I understand!"

"As expected of Director Xia, he actually noticed so many details."

Several directors sighed in succession.

Xia Yuan shook his head and the audition continued.

This is the situation he is facing now.

The audition process did not go smoothly.

On the contrary, we were stuck in the selection of the first role, Gao Qiqiang.

He auditioned several roles in the whole morning, but none of them satisfied him.

At this rate, I was considering auditioning three roles today. Now it seems that there are still three roles? Dream on. It would be a blessing to be able to get Gao Qiqiang today.

This is also Xia Yuan's helplessness, because his requirements for actors are too qualified.

This is why it often happens that even when filming is about to start, some actors are still not confirmed.

He was afraid. The same was true for the role of Gao Qiqiang, because this role was too complicated. Most actors had never experienced Gao Qiqiang's mentality, and it was difficult for them to perform that feeling.

Even if he has experienced this, the complexity of the role of Gao Qiqiang directly determines that he cannot be performed by someone with poor skills. After several stages of transition, you must have sufficient acting support.

Could it be that this role will have to stay and he will have to do it alone in the end?

No, this role is very special. Unlike characters like Zhang Muzhi or Chu Yunfei, there is no detailed description of his age. As long as you pay attention to the feeling, keep up the acting skills, and use makeup and acquired changes in your image, you can easily get away with it.

The role of Gao Qiqiang covers a very long period of time, a full twenty years, which clearly starts from middle age and ends in old age.

He really can't act.

But I just can’t find the right person now.

"next."

Xia Yuan shouted somewhat helplessly.

Never mind, let’s take it one step at a time!
But when the next actor came up, Xia Yuan lowered his head at first, without looking up, just looking at the script and turning the pen: "Introduce yourself."

"My name is Zhang Tianyu, I'm 46 years old this year, I'm from Guantou City, Guangdong Province, and I'm a Hakka. I graduated from the Beijing Film Academy. I'm not signed to any company yet, I'm a freelance actor, and I'm here to audition for the role of Gao Qiqiang. Director, you don't have to audition anyone, I'm not picky, haha, anyone is fine, but if this role doesn't work out, I can try a few more, the pay doesn't matter, how about we just get started now?"

When Zhang Tianyu started talking, Xia Yuan raised his head suddenly and looked over with a surprised expression.

If he were wearing glasses now, he would definitely tear them off and tilt his head upward to see clearly.

Oh my god, something is wrong! Innate strong holy body?
Not sure, take another look.
