Chapter 28 Meng Bai, you are actually thinking about this
The five minutes of preparation time passed in a flash.
"Is it ready?" Wu Bai asked.
Chen Ruoxuan heard the question, took a deep breath and nodded.
"Do you need to act with me?"
"Okay, thank you."
If the scene involves multiple roles, in order to ensure the performance of the actors, a staff member will usually be asked to hold the script and speak the lines with the auditioning actors.
Of course, don't expect the crew to have a good level of lines, most of them are ruthless reciting machines, and the auditioning actors mainly rely on their own sense of belief.
However, the actors who auditioned today are treated well, because this plot is a rivalry between the male and female protagonists, and the female protagonist happens to be on the scene.
"Then I'll do it." Li Qin said eagerly.
She is not interested in acting with the auditioning actors, she wants to experience the plot of the second season that Meng Bai mentioned.
Although it is just a small clip, it may also contain a lot of information.
Another reason that she didn't say explicitly was that she wanted to take this opportunity to show Meng Bai the results of her recent efforts in preparing the script, so that this guy wouldn't keep saying that her acting skills were not good.
Li Qin stood up and walked to Chen Ruoxuan, comforting him: "Don't be nervous."
"Thank you." Chen Ruoxuan thanked him. Although he didn't know who this girl was, since she was able to attend the audition with the director and producer, she was probably also a member of the management of the crew.
But why does she look familiar? Forget it, don't think about it, hurry up and find your mood.
"Okay, come on, 3, 2, 1, start!"
With Wu Bai's order, the two people who were ready quickly entered the plot.
Chen Ruoxuan squatted down first, then slowly stood up, glancing at Li Qin, and asked in a suppressed tone: "Where were you?"
"What?"
"I asked you where you were at that time? Where were you when the Japanese invaded? Were you watching from the sky? Aren't you the gods of China! Don't we all believe in you!"
"..."
Today's audition was a scene of emotional outburst. After all, web dramas are not movies, and the actors are more required to express their emotions.
Meng Bai is not really proficient in acting. At most, he just sees whether the actors' acting skills are good or not, whether the lines are emotional or not, etc.
In order to better show the performance of the auditioning actors, the plot is mainly based on the male lead.
But even so, he can clearly feel that Li Qin's acting skills are much better than Chen Ruoxuan's.
It's not necessarily contagious, but at least the emotions and tone are in place.
It seems that this girl is really not lying. Her acting skills are more than enough to deal with a TV series, idol drama, etc.
The audition plot is not long, and each person has only about five or six sentences. The two finished the performance quickly.
Li Qin returned to her seat, looking at the script in her hand thoughtfully, not knowing what she was thinking.
Chen Ruoxuan stood in front of everyone, anxiously waiting for the result.
It was Wu Bai who was responsible for the review. After all, as a director, he was more aware of the talent and ability of the actors.
"First of all, the emotions in the lines were good, and the understanding of the characters' emotions was also in place."
Wu Bai came up and praised the other party's strengths, but no one responded, because they knew that he would definitely have a "but" next.
"But there are a few issues. One is that your basic skills are not solid. When you shouted the lines, your mouth was not strong enough, which made some words unclear.
Then there was a problem with your breath. When you were emotional, you couldn't keep up.
Another thing is that you should not have much actual acting experience... None, right? That's right, the overall acting skills and expressions are very immature, and there is a feeling of "acting on purpose." "
Wu Bai said a word, and Chen Ruoxuan's mood dropped a point. By the end, he had completely given up.
There was no way, it was indeed because of his lack of strength, and there was nothing to make up for it.
It's a pity that I missed such a rare opportunity to audition.
I thought that we could go home next, but Wu Bai continued, "Although the male lead can't hold up, he can still play a supporting role in any unit."
Meng Bai on the side raised his eyebrows, leaned close to Wu Bai and asked in a low voice, "Do you think he is good?"
"Not bad, I think he has some talent. You see, why don't you give him a small role to try."
Although Wu Bai was optimistic about Chen Ruoxuan and wanted to help him, the final decision was still in the hands of Meng Bai, the "producer".
"Okay, I'll trust you this time." Meng Bai nodded.
After all, Wu Bai is also a director, and he is willing to give face for such a small matter. Anyway, there are plenty of small supporting roles in unit dramas, and anyone can play it.
Chen Ruoxuan thought he had been eliminated, but he didn't expect that there was an unexpected surprise. Although it was just a small supporting role, he was already very happy, and hurriedly thanked everyone.
After keeping his contact information and being reminded again to go back and prepare well, Chen Ruoxuan left excitedly.
As for when to come next time, we have to wait for notification. After all, the crew has not yet finished preparing, and the two big bosses of the crew have not yet decided which role to give him.
Watching the young man go out, Meng Bai turned to look at Li Qin who had been thinking for a long time beside him, and asked in confusion: "What are you thinking about here?"
Li Qin frowned and said: "I always feel that the second season's 'Xiao Ya' seems to be a little different from the first season. The emotions in her lines when facing 'Dong Qing' seem to be much more distant."
"Of course, didn't you see what 'Dong Qing' said in the lines? 'Xiao Ya' is a god, and the 'Kunlun God of War', which must be different from the ordinary college student in the first season." Meng Bai said.
"Hey, it feels like the background of the second season has suddenly become much bigger. What is the origin of the character 'Xiao Ya', and how did he suddenly become a god?"
Li Qin felt itchy in her heart. It would be fine if she didn't know anything, but now that she knew a little about the plot of the second season, she couldn't help her curiosity.
Meng Bai looked at Li Qin's expectant eyes and raised a smile at the corner of his mouth: "I really want to know the story behind?"
"Yeah!" Li Qin nodded quickly.
"Simple." Meng Bai said, "Let's sign the contract for the second season later, and I'll give you a copy of the complete script."
"Eh——" Li Qin wrinkled her face, "So you're thinking about this!"
Her contract for participating in the show was only for the first season. If the show plans to continue filming, a new contract will have to be negotiated.
It is foreseeable that the salary and benefits will definitely increase a lot by then. After all, being able to shoot the second season means that the performance of the first season is not bad, and the price increase is also reasonable.
Of course, there is another way, which is to change the actor. But generally, the crew would rather let the character go offline directly than choose this path unless there is really no other way.
The audience already has a preconceived impression and feeling about the character, and once the person is replaced, it is difficult to substitute into it.
A typical negative case is the change of the actor of "Xiaoxue" in "Home with Children".
According to Meng Bai, even if the plot sets the later "Daxue" as the illegitimate daughter of Liu Xing's father, it will be better than directly replacing "Xiaoxue".
"Tsk, if you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. Let's see if you will come to beg me when you shoot the second season!" Li Qin secretly imagined the scene of "Meng Bai humbly begging me" in her heart, and she almost laughed out loud.
After Chen Ruoxuan left, three boys came in one after another, all of whom were auditioning for the male lead "Xia Dongqing".
Among these three people, some were recommended by Wu Bai, and some were recommended by other staff members of the director group. Meng Bai didn't care and let them all try.
Unfortunately, the performance of these three people was not as good as that of Chen Ruoxuan, the first one to come.
Meng Bai privately told Li Qin that it was probably because he found out after coming that the audition script was completely different from what he had learned, and he was stunned and couldn't react at once. Meng Bai
didn't take this kind of cannon fodder type of contestant to heart at all. Anyway, if he was willing, there were many small supporting roles to arrange, and it wouldn't be a pity if he didn't want to leave.
After sending away several auditioners in a row, there was a long interval in between, and the staff outside told him that there was a newcomer coming.
The door of the audition room was pushed open, and a man who looked a bit like a husky walked in. Meng Bai took a glance and exclaimed in his heart.
This person is obviously different from the previous few newcomers. Just looking at his aura, you can tell that he is a professional actor with a lot of experience.
Thanks to "Quzhou Song Daxia", "Kai Chi", "He Ou Hou" and other big guys for their monthly tickets, as well as all the readers who follow up. Yesterday's data growth exceeded Baomu's expectations. Thank you all! (Bow~
There are still two days left in the competition period. Baomu still shamelessly hopes that all the big guys will support you. If you have any questions, you can also leave a timely response in the comment area. Fist up, everyone!
