Chinese Entertainment: Academic Director

Chapter 32: It's easy to get into the role but hard to get out of it

After Chen Kun left, Cao Yang asked Tian Zhuangzhuang, "What do you think of these two?"

Li Xiaoran next to him immediately pricked up his ears.

"I know Fu Dalong. I talked to Feng Xiaoning about him a while ago. He is a very versatile actor and his acting should be fine."

After looking at the audition record, Lao Tian continued, "He looks too tough, as can be seen from the previous clip. You can let him play a tough guy, a general, or a grassland man, but the male lead of our movie is not that type."

Cao Yang nodded and looked up some information. Fu Dalong starred in Feng Xiaoning's "Purple Sun", which is scheduled to be released in April.

Feng Xiaoning also graduated from Beijing Film Academy, the famous Class of 78, but he was in the Department of Fine Arts.

Tian Zhuangzhuang is right. Fu Dalong’s personal image is very “hard” and he is indeed not suitable for more feminine roles.

The three people that Cao Yang is going to audition are of three types, or you can say two types, one is "tougher" and the other is "softer".

At this time, there was a knock on the door. Li Mingyi looked at Cao Yang, and at Cao Yang's gesture, he said, "Come in."

As soon as Liu Ye came in, before he could say hello, he heard Tian Zhuangzhuang say "Huh".

After a pause, Liu Ye quickly said, "Hello, teachers. My name is Liu Ye."

Cao Yang looked at Liu Ye. At this time, Liu Ye had not gained weight yet. He was very thin and gentle. This was not the point.

The reason why Old Tian was surprised when they met Liu Ye was not because of his appearance but because of his temperament.

Although Liu Ye was a little taciturn at the beginning of college, he was actually a very sunny person. He loved playing basketball, joking with friends, and was very carefree.

But the Liu Ye in front of him did not have any sign of sunshine. Just standing there, he looked very "quiet" and a little feminine.

"I saw from your profile that you starred in 'Lan Yu'. Has the filming of the movie been completed?" Cao Yang asked after flipping through the profile.

"It's been a month since the filming was completed."

Cao Yang and Tian Zhuangzhuang looked at each other. Oh, another one who was so into the role that he couldn't come out of it yet.

As an industry insider, this gay movie titled "Lan Yu" has received a lot of attention.

It is said that during the filming, the director let the two of them stay together for more than a month in order to help them get into the role and develop chemistry and feelings.

I also shared my experiences with them.

Director Guan Jinpeng is a man.

After the filming of the movie, what kind of scenes has Hu Jun not seen? He easily got out of the role.

But Liu Ye is different.

When he took on the role in "Lan Yu", he had just graduated from college and did not have much experience. In order to play the role well, he really immersed himself in the play and immersed himself in it very deeply.

After the filming of the movie, knowing that it is easy for new actors to get into the role but difficult to get out of it, I told Liu Ye not to see Hu Jun for a while and try to avoid being in the same frame with him.

Perhaps out of sympathy, Li Xiaoran taught Liu Ye very seriously.

Liu Ye's dance was not as graceful as Chen Kun's, and his movements were a little stiff, but his thin face, big eyes, and melancholy temperament made him look a little weird and scary.

This requires us to talk about Liu Ye's acting skills. He is obviously better than Chen Kun in acting. He knows how to coordinate his eyes and expressions to create that feeling.

His femininity is obviously different from Chen Kun's gentleness.

His femininity has a kind of charm and melancholy. From his eyes, to the curve of his mouth, to his expression, he gives people a feeling of being neither bent nor bent, but not feminine.

Delicate appearance and gentle eyes are used to describe women, but now they appear on Liu Ye.

After Liu Ye finished the audition, Cao Yang told him the same thing, that he would definitely give him an answer within two days.

After he left, Tian Zhuangzhuang said, "It's quite interesting."

Cao Yang asked Lao Tian, ​​"Who do you think is more suitable?" Lao Tian first ruled out Fu Dalong. It’s not that Fu Dalong’s acting skills were bad, but he felt that Fu Dalong’s image did not quite fit the role of the leading actor.

Chen Kun and Liu Ye each have their own strengths, and it is difficult to make a decision for a while.

Old Tian is a very stubborn person, otherwise he wouldn't have framed the ban on conducting and hung it on the wall. But this doesn't mean that Old Tian doesn't understand the ways of the world. He just sometimes insists on his own opinions, but he's not stupid.

Since he felt that Chen Kun and Liu Ye were similar, interpersonal relationships came into play.

"Chen Kun, he fits the role very well."

Look, Mr. Tian only said that he fits the role and never mentioned his acting skills. Chen Kun's acting skills are indeed worse than Liu Ye's.

However, Chen Kun is one of us. He graduated from Beijing Film Academy and is Li Xiaoran’s best friend. When both of them fit the role, of course we would choose our own person.

Li Xiaoran smiled but said nothing. She knew very well that even though she had a special relationship with Cao Yang, she could not interfere in the casting of the movie.

She also felt sympathy for Liu Ye, but Kun was her best friend and had helped her before, so of course she hoped that Chen Kun would be chosen.

Cao Yang didn't rush to make a decision and fell into deep thought.

In the movie, the male protagonist can be seen as the patron saint of women. He always stands in the perspective of women and does what women do, such as washing clothes, cooking, and cleaning the house. He always protects women and stands up for women.

So this movie can also be interpreted as the hero being the heroine's fantasy coming true.

The male protagonist can be feminine, but not gloomy.

From this aspect, Liu Ye is more suitable in his current state.

In terms of acting skills, Liu Ye is more suitable.

In terms of appearance, Liu Ye, who was not fat when he was young, looked more spiritual and did not look like a pretty boy.

The only doubt is that Liu Ye is now immersed in the role and he seems to be still stuck in Lan Yu.

But this is exactly what Cao Yang values. When getting into the role, one's spirit will definitely fluctuate greatly, but not like Li Xiaoran who almost collapsed.

Cao Yang wanted to make a comparison between Yu Feihong without any tricks and Liu Ye with great mental fluctuations, to give them both an immersive experience and see what the final effect would be.

Then compare it with Li Xiaoran. With three different sets of references and comparisons, we should be able to find some patterns.

"Let's choose Liu Ye. By the way, let me ask Chen Kun, there is a very open-minded couple in the play, but there are not many plots. Ask him if he wants to make a cameo appearance."

Cao Yang thought about it for a moment. Since they had all auditioned, he couldn't favor one over the other. He continued, "There's also Fu Dalong. There's a role for a boxer. If he's willing, you can give it to him."

Liu Shan wrote this down and nodded, "Okay."

Later, Liu Shan said to Cao Yang, "There's a reply from Hong Kong. Zhang Jiahui's agent said he just signed a contract for a movie called "Perfect Lover" and can't spare the schedule."

Then, Liu Shan had a strange expression on his face, and continued, "Wu Qihua's agent asked us when we would shoot, and he explained that Wu Qihua had signed a movie contract and would have a part in July, so he had to join the crew, so the schedule could only be before July."

If there is a schedule before July, then there will be no problem.

Liu Shan coughed and said, "Wu Qihua's agent said that the movie he will be joining in July is called "Perfect Lover."

"Ok?"

"what?"

"In other words, the movie called "Perfect Lover" stars Zhang Jiahui and Wu Qihua?" Old Tian couldn't help but ask.

"should be."

"What a fucking coincidence!"
