I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 572 570. Really good at being a good person

As an audition director, it is a necessary part of the audition to evaluate the actor's overall quality from the moment he walks in the door.

When an actor comes in, he first looks at his appearance, compares his temperament with the expected role, and then checks his mental state and whether he is a good match for his eyes...

This series of things can actually make a preliminary judgment in just two or three eyes.

In Xu Xin's opinion, Tang Yan was a little strange at the moment.

Inexplicably nervous.

Not even a hint of confidence can be seen.

That is to say, Xu Xin knows her. If he doesn't know her, he might think that this is a newcomer who came out of nowhere.

Why does the mental state fluctuate so much?

He was a little curious.

But after all, everyone had dinner together last time, and she also played some key roles in Yang Mi's side.

Everyone is friends.

Even if they are not close.

So, Xu Xin smiled and said hello:

"Why are you so nervous?"

"Well……"

After hearing this, Tang Yan raised his head and looked at Xu Xin, who was smiling.

The moment their eyes met, she immediately felt a little uncomfortable and looked away again.

Seeing this, Xu Xin understood... Although she didn't know the reason, there was definitely something wrong with her current state.

So, after thinking for a moment, he said:

"Well, you sit down for a while and adjust. How about I call the next person in first?"

"!"

The moment he heard this, Tang Yan's eyes instinctively showed a trace of gratitude.

Then there was a wry smile:

"...I'm sorry, I'm a little out of character right now and I'm in a bad state."

"Well."

Xu Xin nodded when he heard her say the word "take off the show".

Although I don’t know what happened, the actor’s departure from the role is equivalent to a man’s sage mode. You can act, but you need some time to be comforted by a big sister.

As for why Xu Xin knew...

Then you have to ask the young woman at home.

She was the one who came up with this metaphor.

As one of the demonstrators, Xu Xin also feels the same way.

He is not an actor, so he cannot understand his sister's explanation of "off-screen".

But he is a man.

So he knows what sage mode and rekindling the war are.

As for the people present, they didn't have any objections to Director Xu's blatant preferential treatment.

Tang Yan has many factors.

For example, actors from the Magic City circle, such as Zixuan who played with Mimi in "Sword and Sword III"...

Everyone understands and can see that she is not in the right state, so it is normal to give her some accommodation.

So Xu Xin motioned to Tang Yan to sit aside and wait for a while, then nodded to the staff at the door.

The staff opened the door with understanding:

"Male audition actor No. 10, enter."

Following his words, Wen Zhang walked in soon.

The range from the 10th to the 30th is actually all related households, not just Xu Xin's, but also other people's.

So Xu Xin was not surprised at all when he saw Wen Zhang.

And Wen Zhang was also very polite:

"Hello directors, I am Wen Zhang..."

After a series of introductions about himself, from height and weight to various data, he came to audition Wang Xiaojian and he also drew the same performance clip as Guo Jingfei.

It’s just that Guo Jingfei’s clip was chosen by himself, while Wen Zhang was drawn by lot.

Seeing such a coincidence, everyone including Tian Yusheng cheered up and watched Wen Zhang making preparations.

He moved first a chair and then a table.

The tables and chairs are all of the same style as the school and are not heavy to facilitate scene performances.

After sitting down, he closed his eyes.

Xu Xin didn't push him, and after being quiet for a minute, he opened his eyes and nodded to Xu Xin:

"It's time to start."

As a result, Tian Yusheng's lines for the role of "Li Ke" came out:

"Last night Wei Wei suddenly told me that he thought it would be troublesome to make a short film..."

No one cares how Tian Yusheng reads his lines, everyone is just watching how he performs.

When performing with Guo Jingfei, he always uses eye drama to express his different moods. Wen Zhang chose to use small movements to assist.

For example, as soon as Tian Yusheng opened his mouth, he scratched his neck.

But his eyes were always fixed on Tian Yusheng.

Because in the setting, Li Ke is a girl from Henan, but she speaks with a Wanwan accent.

Although the original work does not give a background explanation of why the character named Li Ke behaves like this, it only uses the perspective of the author Bao Jingjing to show that this character is very artificial.

But Xu Xin has perfected the background setting here.

That is, in the early years, when Li Ke and Wei Yiying were selling fake goods at a stall, in order to gain the trust of customers, they would deliberately imitate the Wanwan accent and tell buyers that these were smuggled goods from Wanwan, and they were sold cheaply but authentically. After being arrested several times, because of Li Ke's Bayan accent, law enforcement officials were worried about cross-strait friendship and chose to let her go.

From that time on, Li Ke firmly believed that "Wanwan accent" or "Hong Kong and Taiwan accent" was synonymous with upper class.

In order not to be looked down upon because of her rural background, she insisted on communicating with others in Hong Kong and Taiwanese accents for so many years.

This scene will be fully revealed when Huang Xiaoxian and Wei Yiran are talking about wedding preparations, and Wei Yiran tells the story of how he started from scratch.

It is also for this couple to play a turning plot that changes Huang Xiaoxian's outlook on life.

But in the current segment of Wen Zhang's performance, neither Huang Xiaoxian nor Wang Xiaojian knew about it, so they knew that Li Ke was from the countryside, but they had to show their psychological activities when speaking in this tone.

And the way he scratched his neck was very expressive.

From scratching his neck, taking deep breaths to suppress his impatience, and then "angering" Li Ke's smooth, clear and solid line skills after hearing Li Ke's "threat".

As well as being similar to Guo Jingfei, they are all body movement performances that are necessary for a man to disguise himself as a woman.

After a performance, every degree was just right.

Looking at it, Xu Xin nodded slightly.

When it comes to acting skills alone, Guo Jingfei and him are equals.

But Wen Zhang had an advantage over Guo Jingfei.

He has a small frame.

Just some small body language can bring the "girly" feeling to the audience.

Therefore, Xu Xin did not hesitate too much and told him directly:

"See you next time."

Although Wen Zhang saw Tang Yan sitting next to him and wondered why he was sitting here listening...but he didn't ask any more questions and just said with a smile:

"Thank you, Director Xu."

"Thanks for your hard work."

"Well, thank you directors, goodbye."

He nodded politely, returned the table and chairs to their original places, and left the audition hall.

At this time, Tang Yan instinctively looked at Xu Xin.

What a coincidence.

Xu Xin also looked at her.

However, Xu Xin did not let her perform directly.

After all, Wen Zhang actually spent about the same amount of time from the beginning to the end of his performance as other auditioners.

Three or four minutes.

Since he gave Tang Yan face, he would give it to him to the end.

then……

In Tang Yan's eyes, Xu Xin seemed to see that he hadn't adjusted well yet. After taking a look at himself, he turned his head very considerately:

"Next person."

Although there was no communication, Tang Yan's heart suddenly felt at ease...

Unconsciously, a wave of thoughts rolled out of my mind:

"He is so considerate..."

But as soon as this wave of water rose, it disappeared immediately.

I have to adjust my state quickly... I am respected by others, but if I continue to be like this, I really don't know how to appreciate it.

She didn't dare and didn't want to.

Then, the door was reopened.

Tang Yan instinctively glanced at the door when he heard the movement.

Wang Luo...Bai Zhenhe walked in step by step with a polite smile.

"Hello, Director Xu, hello fellow directors, I am Bai Zhenhe..."

No one needed to say anything else. After receiving feedback from Guo Jingfei, Bai Zhenhe came up and introduced himself generously.

But Wen Mino, who had been watching the audition from behind, showed a look of astonishment after using Baidu on her mobile phone to find her encyclopedia.

Yuquan's pair, that singer's wife?

And gave birth to a son?

? ? ? ?

Becoming a mother?

Come to play a girl?

? ? ? ?

Fumino was stunned.

Damn it, eldest sister, your numbers are a bit wild.

So, he exited the web page, and while Bai Zhenhe was preparing, he typed a line of words and showed it to Guo Fan next to him.

Guo Fan, who was still criticizing Bai Zhenhe, glanced sideways and saw the content on his phone:

"She's married and has a child."

"..."

Guo Fan's mouth twitched.

Got the phone:

"You are sick?"

"Aren't you surprised? You're already a mother and you play the role of a girl."

"Brother, isn't Sister Mi the same?"

"? You are six years older than me and you call me Sister Mi?"

"? Do you have the guts to call Director Xu and Xiao Xu?"

"……you win!"

Wen Mino, who looked weird, took the phone back.

But at this moment, Guo Fan glanced at Bai Zhenhe who was starting to prepare, took his mobile phone and typed:

"She is Wang Jinghua's artist, don't underestimate her."

Wen Mino nodded.

Facts have proved that Guo Fan's words are absolutely correct.

Although he hadn't seen much of the other party's works, at least in this audition, the kind of tension she showed... was not bad at all in Fumino.

The audition clip that Bai Zhenhe drew was a clip of Huang Xiaoxian's best friend, Feng Jiaqi, who stole Lu Ran, and asked Huang Xiaoxian to meet alone after Huang Xiaoxian discovered what happened between him and Lu Ran.

During the preparation period, Bai Zhenhe then moved over the table and chairs, and took a plastic cup from the prop table.

Moreover, she also grabbed a bunch of bits and pieces and poured them all into the cup.

When Tian Yusheng said the words "Xiao Xian'er, I'm sorry", he started with the sentence "You said it so lightly" without any warning.

Then he grabbed the cup and smashed it to the ground.

The cup was specially prepared by the staff preparing for the audition.

In other words, the audition team had prepared all the auxiliary props needed for the entire audition sequence of the movie.

In the scene where Huang Xiaoxian and Feng Jiaqi met, Huang Xiaoxian did drop the cup.

However, the bits and pieces that Bai Zhenhe put into the cup replaced the plastic cup at this moment, and the collision with the tiles made a sound like broken glass.

Everyone in this room, including Wang Sicong, has read the script.

So it's not surprising that she did this.

On the contrary, I think she is very smart.

After all, after all the bits and pieces are in the plastic cup, the sound when it falls to the ground is really loud.

But Tang Yan was unlucky...

She is so unlucky...

I finally got out of the sage time and planned to regroup... But just when I calmed down and abandoned all the external disturbances, I was knocked back to reality by the movement of this cup.

Suddenly he shivered.

Then...she listened to Bai Zhenhe's lines that were as sharp as a gun:

"Let's do this! If the glass shards here tell me that they forgive me! Then I will forgive you too..."

First point to the floor, then fold your arms.

Then she looked like she was listening.

Taking a deep breath:

"Okay, let me think about it..."

After saying a calm word, her eyes became filled with mist in the blink of an eye, or in an instant.

Tang Yan was stunned for a moment.

Take a deep breath...and the crying scene begins?

This speed... can it be faster?

But Bai Zhenhe, who was already immersed in the characters, continued at this moment:

"On graduation night, we both drank too much. Right here, I cried. You held my hand and said, luckily we are still together..."

As her lines progressed, the nasal sounds between the words became thicker.

Tang Yan could clearly feel that she wanted to cry, but she didn't cry. She just continued to speak her lines with tears in her eyes:

"You cried too, and said that we will be together forever..."

And listening to her vibrato lines and extremely soft tone, Tang Yan suddenly felt a little desperate...

It seems...can't beat it.

She suddenly realized.

…

"..."

"..."

"..."

Bai Zhenhe's performance is over.

But no one said anything.

Everyone is waiting for Xu Xin's answer.

After all, she belongs to Wang Jinghua, and for the last Guo Jingfei, Director Xu gave him the confirmation letter on the spot.

Therefore, it is better to let Director Xu handle it by himself at this time.

And Xu Xin was also quite confused.

To be honest, her acting skills are good. I believe that not only herself, but many people can feel her full and complex emotions.

But...there's something wrong with her lines.

Too soft.

Thinking of this, he organized his words and looked up at the other party:

"Your lines are too soft."

Bai Zhen was stunned.

But nod immediately...

It seemed that he agreed with Xu Xin's words.

Xu Xin didn't care whether she really understood or pretended to understand.

Instead, he glanced at Tang Yan.

After seeing that the other party was also looking at me, he thought for a while and simply gave a straightforward explanation:

"Huang Xiaoxian is a girl with a tough mouth. She doesn't accept softness. Even if the person she's dealing with is her best friend who knows her best, she shouldn't speak in this tone. The emotion you performed just now is very good, that kind of sad but restrained From the look in your eyes, I can understand that you think Huang Xiaoxian’s tears are not worth it for this kind of person. But the tone is too soft, so I can’t feel a... master-slave relationship, do you understand what I mean?”

"Well……"

Seeing that Bai Zhenhe was a little hesitant and confused, Xu Xin continued to explain:

"It's very simple. No matter what happens, Feng Jiaqi stole your boyfriend. After she asked you out, she chose to apologize to you, which means you are on the stronger side. Then contact Huang Xiaoxian character...your tone should not be soft.

Even if you two have a lot of good pasts... Huang Xiaoxian's character is destined to not show it to outsiders no matter how sad he is. And all she showed to outsiders was that she was competitive. And this is where Lu Ran left her and the starting point of the entire story... There is a problem with your character positioning. "

"..."

Does Bai Zhen understand?

Of course I understand.

Or you have to understand even if you don’t understand.

Because the director has the right to interpret the role of the entire play.

It’s not about how the actors perform, it’s up to the director to adapt. Rather, the director has a position in mind from the beginning and looks for suitable actors based on this position.

Therefore, she knew that her perception was biased.

So I quickly apologized:

"I'm sorry, director..."

"Well, it's okay."

Xu Xin waved her hand and put her information into the promotion basket:

"Go back and correct it for the next round. Say hello to Sister Hua for me and we won't have dinner together tonight."

Promoted.

A hint of joy appeared on Bai Zhenhe's face, and he quickly bowed:

"Thank you, Director Xu."

"Well, thank you for your hard work. Goodbye."

"Goodbye, directors, thank you for your hard work. Goodbye."

She breathed a big sigh of relief and left quickly.

Xu Xin looked at Tang Yan.

Okay, ladies.

Enough prompts and enough time were given.

Is it okay, or is it not okay... Let's go out for a walk, shall we?

"..."

Tang Yan stood up instinctively.

With... a mentality that could almost be said to be half-dead, he came in front of everyone.

…

Xu Xin still gave him face.

Said to Tang Yan:

"You can communicate with Director Tian yourself about which section to perform. Just start when you are ready."

No time limit.

Just don't go too far.

This is his greatest tolerance.

While waiting quietly, Wen Muye handed the phone to Guo Fan:

"I really learned."

"?"

"Really, Director Xu is really good at being a good person."

"?"

Guo Fan expressed his doubts with two question marks in a row.

Then, Fumino started typing.

After playing for more than a minute, he handed it to Guo Fan:

"Lao Guo, think about it. When Guo Jingfei came to audition, Director Xu had already said hello to Wang. But this time he asked Bai to say hello to Wang again. He didn't say hello to Wang before, and gave Guo an explanation why. Don't choose him as a bitch. This gives Guo face and Wang face. But Bai obviously failed at her lines, but Director Xu still let her advance to the next round. At the same time, she also asked her to say hello to Wang and say not to eat together. .

understand? This is where Director Xu is great. The front is recognition, because Guo has advanced. Later, Bai's promotion was not a real promotion, but Director Xu gave Wang face. After Bai goes out, he will definitely tell Wang that something went wrong in his performance, and then bring Wang Xu a message to greet him. Baidu made a mistake, but he still advanced, and even greeted the king specially. Isn't it obvious that he was approved because of the king's face?

But promotion does not mean selection. Not to mention Bai is from the Beijing circle. Both of them have advanced, but if Director Xu doesn't choose them, he will have to answer to Wang in the end. I'll give you face, and the two of you will advance. But one of them is not suitable for being a bitch, and the other is acting in the wrong way. It would be understandable if I didn't choose them. And it doesn’t hurt the king’s face. "

"..."

Guo Fan's brows wrinkled.

He glanced at Fumino, who was shining brightly, and wrote after this sentence:

"Is it too much to interpret?"

After Wen Muye saw it, he directly asked:

"But the result is indeed like this. If you were the king, what would you think?"

"...That's true, I won't feel any knot in my heart."

Seeing this, Wen Muye sighed:

"well……"

While sighing, he typed a few words on his phone:

"Fuck, Xu Dao Niubi, damn Niubi, I learned."

When he saw this line of writing, Guo Fan scratched his head.

Is it better than a cow?

definitely.

But……

Learning is never a waste.

What to do?

How about... if you encounter this kind of thing in the future, go to Xu Guan to solve it? What's the result of whoring for free next to you?

Well, it feels pretty reliable...

As time passed, Tang Yan's voice finally sounded in the audition hall.

"I'm ready."

Following her words, everyone's eyes focused on her.

Then, there is no more.

This drama has a female protagonist, and the transformation of Huang Xiaoxian's journey at the center of the entire movie is complete.

From the "unrepentance" at the beginning to the "relief and blessing" later, every audition clip selected by Xu Xin is a process of transformation of the mental journey.

Tang Yan chose the scene where she and Lu Ran met when attending a friend's wedding.

The performance is sparse.

There is no trace of Huang Xiaoxian's psychological activities when he observed the detailed interaction between Lu Ran and Feng Jiaqi and saw that the two people were so compatible.

Some are just a scattered mess on the surface.

And she also knew that she had failed in her performance.

So at the end of the performance, Xu Xin was so blushing that she didn't even dare to look up.

And Xu Xin was also muttering in his heart.

"Why is she not as good as Zixuan?"

Looking at Tang Yan who was standing there with her head bowed silently, he recalled this disastrous audition... He really didn't understand why she gave such a poor performance.

Not even as good as a newbie.

It's all scattered, scattered...

Originally, he was quite optimistic about the other party. After all... not many actors got the script of this drama.

After such a long time, even if you are simulating, you can still simulate a decent performance, right?

No matter what...

But looking at her... almost crying, Xu Xin thought about it and said:

"There's something wrong with your performance. But it doesn't matter. Go back and adjust. There are still more people queuing up to audition. Just wait until the end and try again. How about it?"

"!"

Tang Yan suddenly raised his head!

It was like a person who was about to drown was pulled out of the water.

he……

! ! ! !

Then, she saw Xu Xin put her file at the bottom of the two piles of information.

"Go back and adjust well. You've been out of your mind since you came in today..."

He smiled and said:

"You have to work hard and stabilize your mentality."

"Tsk."

Wen Mino's eyes were full of emotion, and he typed another line:

"So, what did I say? Director Xu is really good at being a good person."

But this time, Guo Fan, who also understood Xu Xin's simple meaning of protection, nodded.

That's right.

Indeed.

Don't worry about this plot. The audition ends tomorrow, and there is still one paragraph left to write.
