Audition video, which is a required course for almost every new actor.

There are countless actors in the entire film industry, nearly 600,000. It is impossible for casting directors to select actors one by one. Even if they have such energy, they do not have such time; moreover, not all actors gather in In the two cities of New York and Los Angeles, for most amateur actors or newcomers, the travel expenses of one audition may be enough to make them bankrupt, so that they have to stay on the street——

Why not live in New York and Los Angeles? Because the cost of living in these two cities is not affordable for ordinary people, for unemployed actors, the income is already meager, and they have to participate in auditions everywhere. They can only use their spare time to work occasionally. Life in big cities is definitely difficult.

What's more, even living in Los Angeles and New York. The auditions for performances are almost always during working hours, and the actors who are working are not necessarily able to skip work at any time to participate in the audition.

So, audition video is the best solution.

For example, "Spider-Man" is now preparing to recruit a new Spider-Man actor. They announce the news through the Actors Guild, with relevant conditions, and then interested actors can record a video of their own performance and send them by email or letter. Send directly to the crew.

Casting directors will go through thousands of audition videos, pick out the most impressive ones, go to the second round of auditions, it may be a telephone audition, it may be a propositional audition video; after the second round of screening, the third round of audition It might just require the actor to travel to Los Angeles or New York, or some other city, to audition face-to-face.

This type of audition applies to the cast's intention to cast a wide net, which also means that even with an agent, if an actor wants to be in the cast, they must record the audition without discrimination. Perhaps their advantage is that the reputation of the agent ensures that the casting director will definitely see the footage, rather than being missed in a drowsy moment in the countless footage browsing.

Almost every actor in Hollywood has gone through this stage, even big names like Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks, George Clooney, and so on.

"War in the Pacific" was Renly's first official audition. Because there were too many actors recruited for this series, they skipped the audition video and went directly to the audition. Unintentionally, this gave Renly A stage for self-expression, which successfully impressed Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks.

Before that, Renly had also recorded auditions and auditioned for several films and TV series. These include "The Walking Dead," "City Thieves," and "The Gossip Project" to name a few.

However, as a newcomer, Renly doesn't know much about audition video skills. The recorded video obviously fails to show his strengths, or his strengths do not meet the requirements of the other party. Of course, the biggest possibility is to find a needle in a haystack. Among them, they simply ignored Renly's audition footage.

The audition video is an interview method with a strong personal style. The crew generally does not make any requirements, and the actors know nothing about the script, role, director, style, and even genre. Therefore, when the actor stands in front of the camera, the content of the show is also open. The choice of showing their own strengths, or the choice to show imitation performances, or to win by curiosity, the choice of performance content reflects the actor to some extent. character.

For example, Tom-Holnd auditioned for "Captain America 3" and "Spider-Man: Homecoming" in 2015, hoping to become the new Spider-Man. His first-round audition video was very special, he didn't act, he didn't have any lines, he just introduced himself, and then the chaine started.

Chéné is a ballet term derived from French and refers to a continuous chain-like rotation on a raised full toe or half toe. This is a basic skill of ballet. It has strict requirements on balance, strength, muscles and other skills. Without any power support, it only relies on the whip of the non-standing leg to continuously rotate, just like a perpetual motion machine. generally.

Tom Holland began to learn dance from a young age. He was discovered at the age of ten because of his dancing talents. After two years of training, he appeared in the musical version of "Jump Out of My World" and appeared on the stage of the West End of London. . In the audition video, Tom did not perform any performances, but just showed his Xie Nee, turning in place for 60 seconds without interruption or shaking.

The casting director was so impressed with the audition that Tom was invited to audition for a follow-up. Later, after several rounds of auditions and over forty competitors, Tom became the new Spider-Man.

There are no requirements and no restrictions on audition videos, and the actors are free to play. But the problem is that without any knowledge of the character, the casting director, or even the story, how can the actor be sure that the content shown in the audition video is enough to pass the first round of audition? ?

It's a gamble and it's an adventure.

In the three years since the "War in the Pacific", Renly has achieved many impressive achievements. Now that he has returned to his original intention and recorded his audition video, this feeling is really subtle and at the same time a little exciting.

Looking at Renly who was gearing up for action, Roy raised his eyebrows, his eyes were full of interest, and stood behind the camera, leaning lazily on the wardrobe next to him, "Have you already conceived it? Which stage are you going to perform? ?"

"'On-my-

own)’. "Renly stood in the open space and began to do warm-up exercises. These preparations before going on stage were so unfamiliar and yet so familiar. The body gradually began to adapt, and the brain gradually began to adapt.

Roy's eyes revealed doubts, "Am I remembering wrong? Isn't this Epane's story?"

"Yes. But I want to challenge and see Jean Valjean." Renly replied unexpectedly, making Roy's movement against the wardrobe a little stiff for a moment, not Marius, but Jean Valjean? The age span is huge, and at the same time, it is difficult to challenge Jean Valjean?

After Roy looked at Renly seriously, he made sure he wasn't joking. He pouted without making a fuss, and accepted the change lightly, "Then why not choose Jean-Valjean?"

"Because every actor who auditioned for Jean Valjean will act the role of Jean Valjean." Renly's answer of course made Nathan laugh, and Roy shrugged in agreement, "I can Acting Jean Valjean, but when the directors saw the audition tape, their first reaction was not my strength, but my age, which made it difficult for me to take advantage. I needed to think outside the box, break the ice, and choose some The special bridge section creates a surprising effect, and it also proves that I can control the different bridge sections of different characters and inject my own characteristics."

"Then why is it 'Single Shadow'?" Roy continued to ask, and he had to admit that curiosity had gradually overshadowed doubts and surprises. Even him, let alone those casting directors?

"Because this is one of my favorite bridges." Renly was moving his limbs, and while he was warming up, he relaxed and his tone became more relaxed, "Actually, my two favorite bridges are Sections are young people. One is 'master-of-the-house' and the other is 'red-and-bck'."

In the story, Fantine fostered her daughter Cosette with the innkeeper Thenardier before her death. "The Lord of the House" is the debut of the Denardiers and his wife, dedicated to a group of drinkers and revolutionary/revolutionary youths. The whole song is light and lively, and even a bit funny, and the jubilant scene leaves a deep impression impression.

"Red and Black" is a bridge segment where Marius and his revolutionary partners sing duet. Marius fell in love with Cosette at first sight, using red and black as a metaphor for his feelings of beginning love; while the leader of the revolutionary team, Enjolras, shouted that under the torrent of the times, there are more important things than personal feelings, Red and black are used as a metaphor for the impassioned rebellion against the government.

Renly personally likes the "Red and Black" episode very much, especially the performance of Enjolras, which not only shows the great revenge and vigorous vigor of the young people of that era, but also shows the relationship between individuals and society under the torrent of history. The relationship between the lips and the teeth is cold, and the whole bridge section is deafening and blood boiling.

If it is just personal preference, Renly is very willing to play Marius or Enjolras, it has nothing to do with the role, it is only related to personal preference; but whether it is Marius or Enjolras, the challenge to Renly is very limited. , age, personality, style, including character background - Marius and Enjolras both came from aristocratic families, but they threw themselves into revolution/life for their own ideals. Renly has innate advantages.

It can be said that this is also a kind of true performance.

Returning to the theatre stage, Renly's original intention was to constantly polish, challenge, and break through himself, choosing Marius and Enjolras, which was the "safe option", so Renly took the initiative to choose Jean Valjean. , a character who is displaced and has a turbulent fate, avoids the comfort zone and hits more difficult problems, hoping to spur himself to continue to make progress.

In fact, the most difficult challenge should be Thenardier. This rogue gangster can be called a humorous and funny role in the whole play. Funny, difficult, greedy, and despicable. Every episode of the show has a strong irony effect. . However, every time Thenardier appeared, he was a husband and wife, and Renly was alone.

On a comprehensive basis, neither "The Lord of the House" nor "Red and Black" are suitable. First, the two sections are group singing, and the momentum is huge, and the solo performance will be much inferior; second, the two sections are full of vitality of young people, and they return to the comfort of Marius after going around. category.

Every character in "Les Miserables" has a classic passage, which is also an important reason why musicals can be widely circulated and enduring. After excluding the classic arias of Jean Valjean, Marius and Javert, in Fang Between Ting's "i-dreamed-a-dream" and Epney's "Alone," Renly chose the latter.
