Chapter 601 Talent is really too important
Chen Li has read the script five or six times, and her grasp of the plot, control of the characters, and positioning are definitely better than Tan Yue's. The director's arrangement is also to adjust Tan Yue's role based on the already determined Chen Li.
Therefore, in order to highlight Tan Yue, Chen Li deliberately selected a scene with Tan Yue as the main character to highlight his characteristics.
Acting against each other requires a lot of back and forth, giving and receiving. Tan Yue was nervous at the beginning due to his lack of experience, but when he was led by Chen Li who quickly got into the role, the rhythm and performance gradually improved.
It was a very short clip, but producer Liu Tong and casting director Wang Dongdong felt a little unsatisfied after watching it.
But the two didn't say much, just showed some satisfaction on their faces, and then subconsciously looked at Director Li An.
Tan Yue stood there very nervous, feeling like his heart was about to jump out of his throat. However, thinking back on his and Shen Li's performance just now, he felt that he had performed very well. At least based on his own ability, he had almost done his best.
If not, it means he still needs to improve.
Chen Li felt the same way. She also thought that Tan Yue's performance was very good, but she had no idea whether it could meet Director Li An's standards. She could only pray for Tan Yue secretly.
The main thing is that Director Li An’s expression was very dull. You couldn’t tell that he was satisfied, but you didn’t feel that he was disappointed either.
There was a suffocating silence, and everyone present fell silent instinctively, waiting for Director Li An to speak.
After a long while, he finally nodded slowly. "That's good. I was just imagining in my mind what the scene of you two performing would look like if it appeared in the camera and on the big screen. I think it would look good. Chen Li is elegant and lively, and Tan Yue has deep edges and corners. Coupled with the cinematic color scheme, the two of you appearing on camera together will be very impactful!"
Director Li An's praise immediately made Chen Li and Tan Yue very happy.
Tan Yue breathed a sigh of relief and said excitedly, "Thank you, Director, and thank you, Ali, for taking me with you."
Upon hearing this, Director Li An and the others looked at Ah Li with admiration. Laymen watch the excitement, while experts watch the details. They are all professionals, so they can see that this performance was deliberately performed by Chen Li to set off Tan Yue and make him stand out more.
She lifted him up just right and didn't steal the limelight from Tan Yue just because her acting skills were better than his.
Chen Li herself is obviously just a newcomer in the entertainment industry, and her acting experience is not much more than that of the others present, but she is professional and she can do it!
So, talent is really important.
However, even though Director Li An thought their scene together was good, he did not immediately cast Tan Yue to play the role of "Jiaoyang".
Instead, Chen Li played different female characters in the script and acted out several scenes with these male actors in turn.
The result is that although the male actors' own conditions are indeed good, their acting skills are more or less regrettable. On the contrary, Chen Li is very outstanding. She can quickly grasp the character positioning and perform the essence of the role in different roles in a short period of time.
Several of them liked Chen Li more and more the more they watched. Director Li An even created a character for Chen Li out of thin air while watching the show.
He wanted to write a book specifically for Chen Li.
After trying one after another, Chen Li felt a little tired, but she had a great time acting today. Although she only performed in short segments, she portrayed each role with a completely different texture.
Director Li An kept scribbling and revising on his notebook. In the end, he didn't reveal who the actors would play. He just looked at the expectant crowd and said with a smile, "Thank you all for your hard work. I've booked a private room at the Boyue Chinese Restaurant tonight. If you're free, please let Director Dongdong know. We won't talk about business, so don't feel pressured. Let's just have dinner together."
Director Li An invited us to dinner. Does that indirectly prove that everyone present has already got the role?
And who would want to miss such a precious opportunity to have dinner with Director Li An?
Everyone was excited and said they would come when they were free, and Shen Li was no exception.
"See you tonight then. I have to go upstairs to take a nap, haha." Director Li An smiled and waved his hand, and Liu Tong sent him upstairs to rest.
The others surrounded the casting director Wang Dongdong. Chen Li waited quietly on the side. Seeing this, Tan Yue came over and said, "Ali, come over tonight too?"
Shen Li smiled and nodded: "Of course, you can't miss such a good opportunity."
"I'm just an idle person, how could I not come?"
"You haven't signed with a company yet?" Chen Li asked curiously.
Tan Yue shrugged and curled his lips, saying, "No, there aren't many opportunities. Besides, I've been studying lately, so I haven't thought about these things. If I can get the role directed by Li An this time, I guess some companies will come to me later. Then I'll have my own agent, and maybe even my own team."
The second half of the sentence expressed his aspirations and desires for the future, and his eyes lit up as he spoke it.
“How about…” Chen Li hesitated for a moment, then looked at Tan Yue and asked seriously, “How about I introduce you to an agent?”
"Ah?" Tan Yue was shocked. "Is this true? Could it be Sister Kuan?"
Chen Li quickly shook her head and denied: "Of course not, Sister Kuan doesn't accept artists anymore, but our company has other agents. There is a particularly good person. If he is willing to take you, I think it will be a good thing for you."
"But I don't have many works." Tan Yue said with a little embarrassment: "I've only played one serious role, and it hasn't been released in China yet. How can they hire me?"
"But aren't you about to be accepted into Director Li An's film?" Chen Li reminded him, "You're a potential stock. You could become famous with just one film. An agency will definitely want you."
After hearing Chen Li's reminder, Tan Yue smiled excitedly: "Yeah, I think I'm okay too."
"Then are you willing?"
"Of course I am willing. Why wouldn't I want to work in the same company as you?" Tan Yue nodded hurriedly. In his opinion, Chen Li was his lucky star. Since he met Chen Li, his life entered another stage, especially his career, which became smooth all of a sudden.
"Then wait for my news." Chen Li was also very happy. Bo Ge now had some half-baked artists in his hands, and he was actually in need of potential newcomers like Tan Yue.
As an agent, the mentality of guiding newcomers and guiding old artists is completely different. If you can help an artist become famous from the starting stage, that is the highest praise for the agent.
Seeing the crowd on Director Wang Dongdong's side gradually dissipating, Chen Li took out the information of Wang Chuhan and the others and walked forward: "Director Dongdong, I would like to recommend a few people to you. I brought their information..."
