Listening to the noise of the crowd, the teacher coughed lightly and said, "I'm sure you've guessed it. Teacher Zhang is here to select a few actors. I've given you the opportunity. It's up to you whether you can seize it."
Now the discussion among the crowd became even louder. This was Director Zhang, and the fact that Mo Kuan was standing there clearly showed that these two were going to collaborate. They had never expected that their first screen appearance might be in these two people's movie.
Seeing the discussion getting louder and louder, the teacher glanced awkwardly at Zhang Erlue, Mo Kuan, and the others before saying, "Alright, everyone, be quiet and line up. Whether you're interested or not, you must perform well. Your exam results will depend on your performance this time."
Everyone: ..., who wouldn't want to go? This opportunity is hard to find even with a lantern. We are all fools. Besides, the exam is just like this without a written test. Everyone can't wait to set off firecrackers to celebrate.
After everyone lined up, Zhang Erlue said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, your teacher and I are old friends. Just treat me as one of your own and act freely."
After hearing what Zhang Erlue said, everyone felt that they were even more nervous.
Zhang Erlue saw Tao Yuche also queuing up behind him and said, "Xiao Tao, don't wait in line anymore. Your agent just arranged an interview with us the day after tomorrow. I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that your class was interviewed today. How are your preparations going? Do you want to go together today?"
Tao Yuche had read the script and was constantly learning and making breakthroughs. He was quite confident in his acting skills and empathy, so he said, "That's even better, Director Zhang."
"Yeah, then Xiao Tao, can you set an example for everyone?"
Tao Yuche nodded, "Then give me 5 minutes?"
Mo Kuan was startled when he heard Zhang Erlue call Tao Yuche "Little Tao". He pushed Zhang Erlue and whispered, "Didn't you read the news a few days ago? He is..."
Before Mo Kuan could finish, Zhang Erlue chimed in, "I knew it a long time ago. We're old acquaintances, so there's no need to be so abrupt. Besides, Xiao Tao isn't someone who takes his status for granted."
"Whether he succeeds in this audition or not, there will be many opportunities for us to work together in the future. If I call him Mr. Tao or Master Tao, he will feel uncomfortable."
5 minutes was a very short time. Before everyone could recover from their excitement, Tao Yuche had already stood in the open space in the middle.
The film is about war, and Tao Yuche chose a young soldier who survived the defeated army.
When Tao Yuche was reading the script before, he immediately fell in love with this role, so he said, "Director Zhang, please edit it, I want to try out the role of Dashu."
Mo Kuan followed this script from beginning to end, and it can be said that Dashu is Mo Kuan's favorite character in the script.
Although Dashu is not the protagonist, does not have the aura of a hero, and is even a little cowardly, Dashu is in the state that most people will be in when facing war.
So when Tao Yuche chose Dashu, Mo Kuan was a little hesitant because he already had someone in mind for this role.
So Mo Kuan said, "Although this role is not the protagonist, it is very important to the content that the entire movie wants to interpret. Xiao Tao, to be honest with you, I already have someone in mind for this role."
In fact, Mo Kuan said this because he wanted Tao Yuche to change roles directly. After all, Tao Yuche was recommended by Erlue, and he was also optimistic about Tao Yuche's traffic so he did not refuse.
But for a relatively uncomplicated role, he felt that Tao Yuche could handle it with his abilities, and if it really wasn't working out, it wouldn't matter if he polished it more.
But if Tao Yuche chose this role, he was worried that Tao Yuche's acting skills would not be able to interpret it. So many people were watching him and if he didn't give it to him, he was afraid of hurting Tao Yuche's face. After all, Tao Yuche's identity was no longer someone they could say no to.
But if the role was given to him like this, this movie would become a regret for him and Zhang Erlue. After all, this movie was the final work they had prepared, and this movie had to put a perfect end to their careers in all aspects.
Tao Yuche understood Mo Kuan's concerns the moment he heard what he said, but he also knew that the actor hadn't been decided yet, so he said, "Mr. Mo, I understand your concerns, but I really like this role. If my performance doesn't meet your expectations, you can refuse it. Just don't deny me the opportunity to try other roles. After all, I really want to have the opportunity to act in the work you and Director Zhang are working on together."
Mo Kuan felt relieved after hearing what Tao Yuche said and glanced at Zhang Erlue.
Zhang Erlue whispered, "You're just overthinking things. I've already told you that Xiao Tao isn't the type to use his power to bully others. And just wait and see, his acting skills are guaranteed to surprise you."
"Okay, then you try it first."
Tao Yuche nodded and gathered his emotions.
"It's different because he has a background. Teacher Mo said he has a candidate, but Tao Yuche still dared to confront him. Look at how Teacher Mo's face changed."
"From what Mr. Mo said, other roles can directly select him? Isn't this unfair to others?"
"Tsk tsk tsk tsk, where's the fairness? This is just a stage for the rich people, and it's because Mr. Ji is behind them."
"That's not the case. I've seen his TV series and his acting is pretty good."
"If you have money and power, the director will supervise and make changes. Even if you put a pig in, you can still perform well.
And didn't you hear what Editor Mo said? Isn't the meaning obvious?
Editor Mo doesn't even believe in his acting skills, so who knows how much money Mr. Ji must have given him to get this role!
"That's right, why bother auditioning? This is all just a matter of procedure. Didn't you see that he insisted on playing this role, and Editor Mo even gave in?"
Mo Kuan/Zhang Erlue: ...How come they don't know that Tao Yuche has already been cast in their own movie?!
Mo Kuan's head hurt even more. What happened to his expression? Was that what he meant? When did he deny Tao Yuche's acting skills?
He just felt that Tao Yuche's acting skills were not good enough and he was not suitable for the role. If Tao Yuche was really just a vase, no matter how big his popularity was, he would not agree to let him star in his final work.
Looking at the people who were getting more and more excited in the discussion, Mo Kuan felt that he was very wronged, but if he explained it right away, it would always feel like he was trying to cover up something.
At this moment, Mo Kuan actually hoped that Tao Yuche's acting skills would improve as much as Zhang Erlue said, so that he could slap these people in the face.
