"Teacher Situ, Teacher Zheng, Teacher Xie, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting.
"This is Teacher Xu Yan, right? Hello!" Zhang Qiurui was suddenly called over by Situ Zhaodun. He said that the students from the acting department had arrived and were eager to appear in the movie he was shooting, so the auditions had been moved up.
However, when Zhang Qiurui saw Xu Yan, her eyes lit up slightly.
Because Xu Yan is very suitable for the role of the mother of the heroine in "The Fault in Our Stars".
"Heroes have always emerged from youth. The ancients were right." Xu Yan was surprised to see that the student in the directing department who was going to start filming a movie was actually a girl in her teens.
"Today's auditions have begun. Please take turns lining up. Tian Zhuangzhuang and Cheng Kaige, please maintain order. Girls are given priority." Situ Zhaodun announced loudly.
Then they entered a bright audition room, which had already been decorated. In addition to an audition bed, there were also several stools for the tutors to sit on.
"Hello, teachers, Zhang..., classmate Zhang Qiurui. My name is Fang Shu, and I am nineteen years old." Fang Shu, who came in first, didn't know what to call Zhang Qiurui, so he had to call him classmate.
"Perform a scene where you portray yourself as someone who is about to die but remains strong and optimistic. I'll give you three minutes to prepare for it," said Zhang Qiurui.
Fang Shu heard this and thought about it.
When she was ready, she gestured to everyone.
Then he took a deep breath, and a thin layer of mist quickly gathered in his eyes, but he remained firm.
She slowly lay down on the middle bed, closed her eyes, and when she opened them, a hint of sadness flashed in her eyes, but was immediately replaced by an unyielding light.
Fang Shu's lips curled up into a smile, which contained an infinite love and reluctance for life, as if telling everyone that even if the fire of life was about to go out, she would burn to the end in the most brilliant manner.
"Okay, you go out first. If there is any result, we will inform Teacher Xu." Situ Zhaodun nodded with some satisfaction at Fang Shu's performance.
"Is Teacher Situ satisfied with Fang Shu's performance? Fang Shu is a leader in our acting department. She is diligent, hardworking and motivated." After Fang Shu left, Xu Yan was also very satisfied with Fang Shu's performance. She said with a smile.
"Let's see what happens next." Even if Situ Zhaodun was satisfied with Fang Shu, he would not express his opinion now.
He is not the director of this film, and in order to satisfy Zhang Qiurui, he can only provide his own opinions.
"Teachers, I am Liu Jia..."
"Teachers, I am Shen Shanping..."
........
"Teachers, I am Zhang Fengyi..."
"Teachers, I am Zhang Tieling..."
"Teachers, I am Zhou Lijing..."
There weren't many acting students in grades seven and eight, only about thirty or so, and they all auditioned in one morning.
"Teacher Situ, Teacher Xie, Teacher Zheng, and Zhang Qiurui, which students in our class meet the requirements for your new movie roles?" Xu Yan couldn't wait to ask after all the acting students from grades 7 and 8 had finished their auditions.
"Student Zhang Qiurui, what do you think?" Situ Zhaodun did not answer, he asked Zhang Qiurui.
"The male lead is Zhou Lijing, the female lead is Fang Shu, and the other female supporting role is Liu Jia." Zhang Qiurui had just carefully watched the audition performance of each classmate and already had the answer in his mind.
Zhang Qiurui was originally one of the three people who wanted to play the role. After this audition, he became more determined in his choice.
The audition was boring, tiring and uninteresting. Zhang Qiurui made up his mind that next time he made a movie, he would just invite actors who he thought fit the role in his script to audition.
You will have a good idea of whether it is suitable or not, and you won’t waste everyone’s time.
The most important thing is that I feel a lot more relaxed.
"Zhou Lijing fits the role very well. Fang Shu, with her delicate emotional handling and natural acting style, can grasp the character's joy and sorrow just right, adding a lot of color to the whole story.
I also like them both." Xie Fei smiled and nodded at Zhang Qiurui.
It seems that they both agree with each other.
"Okay, let's settle on the three of them.
Teacher Xu Yan, my movie "The Fault in Our Stars" needs an actress who can not only show deep maternal love but also subtly capture the character's delicate inner emotions to play the heroine's mother. I think your temperament and acting skills are very suitable for this role.
See if you can play this role. This way, we won't have to look for anyone outside. The film's cast will all be from the Yanjing Film Academy, both on stage and behind the scenes." Zhang Qiurui saw several teachers looking at him and knew they were asking him for the final casting call.
I did not neglect myself because I invested in the film myself and because I was young.
"Sure, no problem. When do you plan to shoot? I'll adjust the time then." After hearing this, Xu Yan's face showed joy and she readily agreed.
She is looking forward to the film, not only because of the opportunity to act in it, but also because she is co-creating it with her students.
"Most of the scenes for this drama were shot in the hospital. The set is currently being built and will probably be completed by the end of the month. After the actors were confirmed, the crew and behind-the-scenes staff were also gathered at the school.
The script has also been submitted for review and filing.
"If we calculate the time, we'll be able to get the filming permit before February 25th, so we'll officially start filming on February 25th." Situ Zhaodun, the producer, took over and explained the filming schedule to Xu Yan in detail.
