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

Chapter 176 Casting for "Crazy" (4)

The person standing in front of Xia Yuan was a middle-aged man.

This middle-aged man does not look outstanding among the actors who came to audition today, and can even be said to be mediocre.

To put it another way, we could say that he didn't even look like an actor here for an audition, but rather like an elderly person who had wandered in for a walk.

Not only are the clothes he wears very simple, unlike other actors who wear big brands like Arc'teryx, Gucci, or McArthur Glen Ross, he wears just an ordinary warm jacket, without any expensive accessories.

Even his hair has a lot of gray and his face has many wrinkles. He doesn't look as well maintained as other actors.

After all, actors make a living by their looks. Even older actors, regardless of gender, many of them care a lot about their appearance.

This would be fine if it was during filming, but on ordinary days, they are all so pretentious.

But the actor in front of him was not like that. In fact, unlike others who were eager to perform during the audition, he looked a little stiff. His hands were clenched together, twisting them nervously, and his body was very restrained.

Even after Xia Yuan looked over, he smiled twice to please him and nodded to Xia Yuan: "Hello, Director Xia. Sorry to bother you."

"Your name is Zhang Tianyu?" Xia Yuan quickly put away the expression on his face, picked up the file and asked.

I looked through the files.

Well, he debuted 24 years ago and was once a second-tier star, but the good times didn't last long. Later, he was hidden by the company for some reason, and until now, he hasn't had many works. Recently, he started to return to the circle to film, but he has no chance to play the leading role. He has been taking on small roles in vertical stores.

It's a miserable situation.

I guess with this resume, they can't even get into some production companies that are not as good as theirs, let alone some wealthy and well-known companies.

There is basically no possibility.

But this is not a big deal for Xia Yuan.

For Heye Film and Television, that is not a big deal.

"The files are fine." Xia Yuan nodded.

Zhang Tianyu was stunned.

Because he had auditioned for many plays during this period, but without exception, the directors were all disappointed after seeing his file.

This is the first time that Xia Yuan has experienced this.

Can his file be considered 'ok'?
Does his file have anything to do with these two words?

However, Xia Yuan directly said: "I'll give you fifteen minutes to familiarize yourself with the script."

This is also the practice of auditions.

For auditions, there is no such thing as giving the actors the script in advance, unless you have chosen this actor a long time ago and then invite him.

If it is an audition, it always lasts fifteen minutes. From this time on, you actors must demonstrate your level and industry competitiveness.

All you need to do is to remember as many lines as possible within this very limited, short fifteen minutes.

How much you can memorize depends on your ability.

How much you can understand about this role also depends on your own ability.

Zhang Tianyu knew after hearing this that he could proceed to the next step and did not get stuck at the first step.

He nodded in surprise immediately: "Okay! Okay! Thank you Director Xia, I'll go down and prepare right away."

Soon, fifteen minutes passed.

Zhang Tianyu put the script back in front of Xia Yuan.

Xia Yuan also noticed that Zhang Tianyu put the script back on the table with both hands.

He nodded twice unconsciously.

"The audition begins." Xia Yuan announced.

Several directors who were serving as assistants on the side adjusted the lights and cameras. Yes, there were cameras during the audition and they would also be filmed.

Zhang Tianyu began to wave his hands nervously: "Well, I said I'm fine, there's no need to take a video."

"Officer, I don't have to pay for the filming, right?"

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

"Well, after the Chinese New Year, all the stalls in our market will be disrupted?"

"Oh, it's like this. In my case, I sell seafood. As you know, if this is disrupted, I will have to find someone to move my equipment. It's 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?"

Xia Yuan's eyes were shining at this moment: "Anything else? Keep going!"

Zhang Tianyu also continued to be reserved but with a hint of flattery, and said with a smile: "Along, please help me."

"Please make some allowances. When your family first moved to the factory, your father and I worked in the same workshop." At this time, Xia Yuan raised his hand and pressed it, and asked, "Add an extra test! Just follow the script!"

"Okay!" Zhang Tianyu was stunned and nodded in confusion.

Xia Yuan suddenly grabbed a coaster on the table and threw it directly at Zhang Tianyu.

Zhang Tianyu instinctively raised his hands to block and shrank his body.

Xia Yuan frowned and said, "It's New Year's Day, why are you mentioning that dead ghost?"

Zhang Tianyu was stunned for a moment, staggered twice, but his expression quickly changed and he lowered his head: "Look, I've already given you a gift, so just be flexible."

"What did you give?" Xia Yuan stared at Zhang Tianyu and asked.

"Don't you like my TV?"

"Did you give it to me?" Xia Yuan pointed at the spotlight and asked.

Zhang Tianyu was silent for a moment, wiped his eyes, and continued: "Just put my TV in your room and watch it."

"Okay, that's fine." Xia Yuan raised his hand and nodded.

"Yeah, okay." Zhang Tianyu immediately smiled along. His attitude didn't even seem like that of an actor who came for an audition.

But it was precisely because of this that Xia Yuan's eyes were filled with thought.

He said directly: "Next step, smile."

"Hehe. Hehehehe"

Zhang Tianyu laughed.

However, this smile was still a little weak, and it was not the kind of smile with great dramatic tension. Instead, it felt more restrained.

Xia Yuan nodded: "Cry."

"."

There was no crying, laughing or making noise. Instead, Zhang Tianyu and the others lowered their heads, occasionally raising their hands to wipe away their tears, and then they cried silently.

Without making any sound, she looked at Xia Yuan with red eyes and tears in her eyes.

"Great!" Xia Yuan couldn't help but clapped his hands and exclaimed: "It's you!"

Zhang Tianyu was surprised.

Because from this moment on, he knew that he had guessed correctly. Just when he was reading the script, he had already begun to understand that the character of Gao Qiqiang should be a cowardly and honest fishmonger who was forced into a tight spot for a living but had to keep moving forward.

To be honest, as soon as Zhang Tianyu read the script for this role, she knew that she should be able to act out this feeling.

But he didn't have confidence and didn't dare to take the risk, because he had encountered roles that suited him before.

But he failed all the time and never got his chance.

But now, he actually got this opportunity? And it was directed by Xia Yuan?
"Thank you, thank you Director Xia for giving me this opportunity!" At this moment, he was almost crying with joy. He wiped his tears, looked at Xia Yuan with red eyes, and thanked him solemnly.

Xia Yuan frowned and said, "Teacher Zhang, you can stop now. You have already passed the test."

"Well, Director Xia, I'm sorry. I couldn't control my emotions for a moment. And then, you don't have to call me teacher. I should call you teacher, hehe. Hehe."

Zhang Tianyu's smile was still a little restrained.

"What's going on?" Xia Yuan was stunned.

In other words, what Zhang Tianyu is saying now is not just acting, it's not that she is not acting out, but it's really her true feelings?
But why do I feel this way?
How can I describe this feeling? He just brought the character of Gao Qiqiang to life, and he has been exerting his strength since the beginning.

Xia Yuan even thought that he might have gotten the script in advance through some other channel and read and studied it first.

But it doesn’t matter, as long as I can perform well, it’s fine.

Now it seems, isn’t it?

"This is what happened." Zhang Tianyu was silent for a moment and told his own story.

And the troubles he has been having during this period.

To sum up, he knows that his current situation is very unfavorable, but because he has not been able to get any opportunities, he is becoming more and more anxious, which makes the situation worse.

Xia Yuan was shocked.

Isn’t this the natural, innate, high-powered holy body?
How the hell did he encounter this?

Obviously, Gao Qiqiang really needs this state! Gao Qiqiang was such a person in the early stage!
"Sure! Next, we can discuss the pay in detail. We can offer you 52."

"Enough! Enough!" Zhang Tianyu was flattered.

He only wants 100,000.
