Disaster Artist

Yea.

The door of the room was pushed open, and a group of actors walked out in a row. In an instant, all the sights of the entire corridor were projected, either openly or furtively, looking up and down, trying to find some clues from them, and could find some for their audition. inspiration.

However, these actors did not have time to pay attention to those gazes. One or two were immersed in their own thoughts, with different expressions, regretful, happy and confused, but more of them were still apprehensive, and their eyes that could not settle down revealed the surging of their hearts. .

Zeng Yuanwen couldn't help but think of the memories of the filming period of "Unfriending". The director seemed to possess such a magic power, calmly controlling the overall situation, seeing through the lines of defense of the actors, and guiding them into the role step by step. Keen and omniscient calm, always can make people irresistibly panic.

He's missing some of the "unfriend" time on the set.

And then the actors didn't stop, they passed by like a tornado.

"The next group, eight people, come in eight people."

The audition assistant shouted, and greeted the eight people at the front of the team to enter the room.

The team moved slowly, Zeng Yuanwen looked sideways, he happened to be the eighth, which also meant that it was time for the audition, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

puff. puff. puff.

Like thunder.

Entering the room, this is a dance practice classroom. There is a complete glass wall behind it, reflecting the lit lights, making the whole space brightly lit, as if the sunlight outside the window is treasured indoors.

Then, Zeng Yuanwen saw Lu Qian at a glance.

The director wore a simple white T-shirt and khaki overalls today, and his messy short hair stretched out recklessly. Qing Jun's face didn't have any special expressions, and his slightly young face was like a college student. , but the slightly frowned eyebrows exuded a kind of awe-inspiring awe.

Right in front, there were six staff members sitting in a row, but their eyes fell on Lu Qian involuntarily.

Zeng Yuanwen is not sure if he is the only one, because he has worked with the director, so he always subconsciously explores the director's eyes to seek the director's approval.

"Next, I will explain a scene, you listen carefully."

The audition assistant who had just led them in said, without asking for their resumes, and without waiting for their self-introduction, they went straight to the topic—

Of course, a camera is set up on the left and right sides to record the whole audition process. As long as the video record is left, the target actor can always be found in Lanchuan.

The audition assistant didn't give them much respite, and they entered the audition immediately.

"Character A is very guilty and very angry. He feels wronged but not wronged. He tries to explain, but he can't say anything."

"Character B felt angry, but he deliberately suppressed his emotions and kept saying, 'I don't know what to do, so I just continued to sit and eat' in a way that was aggrieved and pitiful. "

"Both characters are not gender-limited, and the lines do not need to be fully stated, they can be interpreted by themselves."

Two characters, one scene.

Then, the audition assistant went on to explain.

"You can choose to perform alone, you can choose one of the two; you can also choose to perform with a partner, and discuss the details of the performance with your friends."

"You have thirty seconds to prepare."

rustling.

rustling.

Thirty seconds is very short, but in fact, there is no preparation time for most auditions. After the scene is described or the lines are delivered, it will start immediately. The test is the explosive power and adaptability of the actors. Now giving thirty seconds is already left. buffer space.

But how should it be performed? A one-man show or a rival show?

The advantage of a one-man show is that you can prepare yourself, but the disadvantage is that there is no interaction, and emotions cannot be conveyed, because the scenes of the two characters are very simple.

Opposite scenes are the opposite. The cooperation between the two people may face problems, but the emotional collision may leave more room for interpretation.

how to choose?

No wonder the actors who had just left the room looked bad: such an audition was not unique, but it was definitely out of the ordinary.

Generally speaking, there are two types of auditions. One is for actors to perform their own prepared bridges. Most of them choose a segment or a monologue from a movie they like.

One is for the crew to provide a page of script, which may be a monologue or a dialogue. If it is a dialogue, there will often be an assistant on the scene to assist the scene, and then give the actors a brief time to scan the script, and the audition will begin immediately. .

No matter which one it is, the core is actually the actor himself, which tests the actor's line skills and acting ability.

But now, Lu Qian didn't give any lines, just described a scene, and then asked the actors to perform immediately.

This test is the real material of the actor, on-the-spot adaptability, role analysis ability, emotional interpretation ability, scene construction ability and so on.

Moreover, if you choose an opponent's play~www.novelmt.com~, the opposite is not a crew member who is familiar with the script, but another completely unfamiliar object. Without time to discuss, it is completely impossible to predict the opponent's performance and content. , which is another test of the explosive power of both sides.

Honestly, it's very difficult. very very.

So, does it mean that choosing a one-man show has a higher safety factor?

After all, in the case of a one-man show, the whole situation can always be controlled by oneself, and there is no need to face additional emergencies. Who knows how strong the actors around him are? If you are unlucky and encounter a facial paralysis, it will be a real disaster.

Zeng Yuanwen glanced at the panel of judges.

Lu Qian did not say hello to Zeng Yuanwen, which also means that Zeng Yuanwen has no special treatment, but Zeng Yuanwen is not lost, because there is no time, the audition is the most important at this time.

Zeng Yuanwen calmed down, he couldn't see the panic at all, and the thoughts in his head were all focused on the performance——

He knew Lu Qian's habit and would never aimlessly. He knew that the audition actors were unfamiliar with each other and most of them would choose a one-man show, so he still gave the choice of the opponent's play; and the emotions of the two characters were just tit-for-tat. How could it be a coincidence?

Thirty seconds, there was no time to hesitate, he immediately turned to look at the little friend beside him.

"Hello, are you willing to try out the rivalry with me?"

"Ah, that's right! I think the same as you."

Li Wenzhen was thinking about how she should send out the invitation, but she didn't expect that the two of them would hit it off, and her eyes could not help but brighten up——

She was the woman who had just stood in front of Zeng Yuanwen and chatted briefly.

But Li Wenzhen also knew that now is not the time to sigh and rejoice, and immediately discussed with Zeng Yuanwen in a low voice.
