Chapter 366 I’ll help you, okay?
The teacher turned a deaf ear to the boys' complaints and walked directly to the stage to start playing the character information.
In fact, the ratio of male and female roles in audition roles depends entirely on the subject matter. If the subject matter is female-oriented, there will naturally be more female roles, and the opposite is true for male-oriented roles. It’s just that there are more new projects for women in the industry recently, so it’s understandable that male students would complain about unfairness.
But this is all determined by the market, and there is nothing we can do about it.
Wang Chuhan was particularly focused on taking pictures of every character's information with her mobile phone, and then moved the phone to the middle position and asked Chen Li to watch it with her.
The roles are all suitable for their age. Some of them have significant roles and can be considered relatively important supporting roles, but the rest are minor extras who have lines but no independent plots and can only serve as background boards in group portraits.
For example, there are female classmates A, B, C in the class.
At first, Chen Li just accompanied Wang Chuhan and did not say anything or express any opinions, because this was Wang Chuhan's audition and it should mainly be based on her own wishes and preferences.
But she was still deliberately observing Wang Chuhan's reaction.
A character named "Yu Meng". Characters with names like this are considered important minor supporting roles. The character is reckless, careless, and prickly, with a hot temper.
The prescribed scenario for the audition is "In the morning at school, the class monitor "female protagonist" checks the holiday homework, but she didn't do it, which triggered a series of conflicts"!
Wang Chuhan obviously stayed on this character page for the longest time. The character information was very brief, but she seemed to read it back and forth several times.
Finally turned the page!
"Ali, let me try this!"
She finally pointed at "Female Classmate C", a background character with no name at all.
Chen Li frowned slightly. The audition scenario for this role was actually "buying grilled sausages at the stall at the school gate on the way home from school"!
Even the audition clips were just background footage.
Of course, as an inexperienced newcomer, you shouldn’t choose some roles because not everyone has the opportunity.
But the problem now is that they have choices!
Among the seven characters, why did you pick the simplest and most transparent one?
Because Wang Chuhan was completely insecure inside.
Chen Li hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but said, "There's not much room for performance in this role."
Wang Chuhan was speechless.
Chen Li directly scrolled through the photos on her phone and found the information of the character "Yu Meng". "I think this is good. The audition clip has conflicts and contradictions, which means there is room for improvement."
"And I just noticed that you've been looking at this character's profile too. You want to choose it too, right?"
Wang Chuhan pursed his lips and raised his head with an embarrassed look on his face: "I'm not sure, and everyone must want this kind of role. If so many people are vying for it, I won't have a chance."
"How do you know there's no chance if you haven't tried?" Chen Li disagreed with her idea: "Do you think no one will compete with you for that background role? It's such a boring role, the director must think anyone can play it the same, so why would he choose you? Can you make a background role come alive?"
"No." Wang Chuhan shook his head matter-of-factly, but still felt guilty: "But I didn't get the roles I auditioned for before. I feel like I can't act."
"You can't think like that!" Chen Li was shocked and quickly stopped her from continuing to doubt herself. "You can't think that you can't act. On the contrary, you should always hypnotize yourself that you are an excellent actor. Whatever you play, it will be what you want. You should give yourself a little blind confidence."
"ah?"
"That's what Yuna taught me! I think it's really useful!"
"Yoona? Song Yoona!"
Chen Li nodded: "Yes, she said that actors must have an unfounded confidence in themselves, because you have to open yourself up to accept the role. If you don't have confidence, you can't really open yourself up, but will constantly doubt yourself during the acting process. Then you will never play any role well."
Wang Chuhan digested Chen Li's words blankly, and felt that there seemed to be some truth in them.
But this is very difficult to do!
"Maybe next time, I'm not ready yet!"
"How can there be so many next times? Do you think this kind of opportunity really comes every day?" Chen Li grabbed Wang Chuhan's hand and said, "Since we're here, every audition is a challenge. Don't shrink back every time. Think about what I just said. You can do it. You can act. If others can act, you can act too. You can act better than others!"
Chen Li was like a hypnotist, constantly instilling the message that you are the best and the greatest into Wang Chuhan's mind.
Finally, Wang Chuhan looked at Chen Li in front of him and murmured, "Ali, I think you have changed a lot. You are completely two different people since you first arrived at school!"
Chen Li: “…”
Chen Li remembered that when she first came to school, she isolated herself because of her inferiority complex. It was several roommates who kept trying to show goodwill to her and took the initiative to be friends with her.
She has always been grateful for this.
"Yes, I was the one with the lowest self-esteem at the beginning, but now I feel that I am very capable. You should think so too!" Chen Li took advantage of the situation and used herself as an example to motivate Wang Chuhan.
"Will it really work?" Wang Chuhan bit his lower lip with a troubled expression.
"You won't know if it works until you try. If you don't try, it won't work!" Chen Li held her hand tightly, looked into her eyes and encouraged her: "Chu Han, don't be afraid, I'll help you, let's give it a try, okay?"
"You help me?"
Shen Li nodded: "I'll help you, okay?"
Chen Li's determination and encouragement at this moment were like a shot of adrenaline in Wang Chuhan's heart. She looked into Chen Li's eyes, and finally mustered a bit of courage in her heart. She nodded gently: "Okay, okay!"
Time was running out, so Chen Li immediately pulled Wang Chuhan away from her seat and found a relatively quiet corner in the corridor outside the small theater, intending to help her analyze the role first.
At this time, there were other classmates around, and everyone was focused on their own world. To Wang Chuhan, this tense and oppressive atmosphere was no different from the college entrance examination, making her heart beat "bang bang bang" non-stop.
"Chu Han, the character who collects homework in the prescribed scenario is also the female lead, which means this character has a rivalry with the female lead and is a very important role."
Chen Li got into the mood first, forcing Wang Chuhan into the role: "Now you need to enrich the character of "Yu Meng" in the prescribed situation."
"Me?" Wang Chuhan pointed at himself: "I wrote it myself?"
"Of course, you have to imagine what kind of person this character is. If she and the class monitor had a conflict over homework, you can assume that she already had a bad relationship with the heroine. With this in mind, you know what attitude you should show when facing her, and your performance will become natural and stand up!"
