Chapter 390 Audition, does it need to be so exciting? (Seeking monthly tickets, requesting recommendation tickets~~~)
Cheng Guohua is recognized as a veteran actor in the industry. He is skilled in acting and can act vividly. He is very dedicated when acting and has worked in the entertainment industry for many years. His acting skills are highly praised by the audience and he has played important supporting roles in many film and television works.
Unfortunately, it is difficult for the audience to accurately call out Cheng Guohua's name.
This is a very common phenomenon in the entertainment industry. Popular actors gain both fame and fortune, but other supporting actors often cannot even be remembered by the audience by their names, let alone their treatment.
But Cheng Guohua knew that this was normal.
Capital is profit-seeking. Producers invest in a film or TV work for profit, not for art. If traffic and popular artists can bring enough benefits to investors, then they will naturally get the best treatment.
People like Cheng Guohua, although they are the pillars supporting the overall film and television work, cannot bring direct benefits to capital, so their treatment naturally cannot keep up.
In the eyes of many people, this treatment is extremely unfair.
However, the profession of actor is too replaceable. This does not only refer to the old actors, but also the young actors.
The world of young handsome men is a winner-takes-all world.
If you lose, all your youth and efforts will be worthless and meaningless. No one will pay for a young idol who can't bring traffic.
Only a few people can become traffic stars. Only one in ten thousand can become famous and make money. And they have to face the fact that the shelf life is only a few years, because other young and handsome guys are walking on the road you have walked, and are about to step on your shoulders to get to the top.
But veteran actors or veteran artists are in a different world from traffic stars.
Take Cheng Guohua for example. Although most of the audience couldn’t call out his name, his efforts were still rewarded.
Although Cheng Guohua has not been able to stand at the top of the entertainment industry, has not won any Best Actor awards, and has not even starred in any very popular works, but Cheng Guohua can still move forward step by step, can still make a living with his acting skills, is still active in the film and television industry, and is widely respected.
As long as you don't care about the income gap between yourself and the young handsome guys, accept that this industry is unfair, and acknowledge the profit-seeking nature of capital, then there is nothing you can't overcome.
Cheng Guohua has always been open-minded. He entered this circle just because he likes acting, not for fame or popularity. It can be said that most actors of Cheng Guohua's generation are relatively simple. After so many years of struggling in the entertainment industry, their hearts have not changed much. They still have their own persistence and love for acting.
Therefore, when Cheng Guohua saw the audition invitation sent to him by Liang Wen, he was moved.
I haven't seen a book like this for a long time.
This kind of story and sentiment, with its strong retro aesthetic and implicit and restrained way of expressing emotions, deeply touched the softest part of Cheng Guohua's heart.
For this purpose, Cheng Guohua specially asked his son to find the comic version of "A Chinese Ghost Story" to see what the structure of the complete version of the story is and what kind of feelings it expresses.
This incident also surprised his son, because in his eyes, his father was a man whose only source of information was newspapers, whose social circle had not changed for decades, and who was basically blind to the current young handsome men and popular traffic stars. But he actually told him that he wanted to read a comic! And it was a short love comic! This was really fantasy.
Cheng Guohua ignored his son's teasing and studied the comics of "A Chinese Ghost Story" seriously. Then he decisively agreed to Liang Wen's request and came for the audition!
Cheng Guohua took the fast track to audition and did not have to queue up with other actors. This was Liang Wen's preferential treatment for the veteran actor, and also a sign of confidence in Cheng Guohua's acting skills.
Liang Wen believed that after Lin Fan watched Cheng Guohua's audition, he would know that the role of Yan Chixia was born for Cheng Guohua.
So, when Cheng Guohua came in, Liang Wen resisted the urge to stand up and greet him. Instead, he followed the procedure and let Cheng Guohua choose the audition segment. After introducing himself, he began to prepare.
Little did he know that as soon as Cheng Guohua entered the room, Lin Fan could not help but straighten his back and stare at him intently: Too much alike! Really too much alike! Cheng Guohua and the old actor who played Yan Chixia in Lin Fan's memory are really too similar! This similarity is not in appearance, but in temperament and eyes, and the similarity in the serious and dedicated attitude towards a film and television work.
Yes, when Cheng Guohua pushed the door open, he had already immersed himself in the role of Yan Chixia. At first glance, Lin Fan thought that this was a knight who had traveled through time and space. This shows how much preparation and adjustment Cheng Guohua had made for this audition.
The audition clip chosen by Chen Guohua was the one where Yan Chixia persuaded Ning Caichen to leave the mountain temple, but Ning Caichen refused to leave, so Yan Chixia had to threaten Ning Caichen that he would kill him.
The difficulty of this scene is that Yan Chixia needs to let the audience see that he is well-intentioned and wants to save Ning Caichen's life. But in Ning Caichen's eyes, Yan Chixia is a strange villain. This kind of contrast is not so easy to grasp. If you don't do it well, it will appear too much, too vicious or not full enough.
However, Cheng Guohua's performance was very layered. At the beginning, he used a "perfect fake smile" like an adult to coax a child to trick Ning Caichen into talking. When he couldn't get the answer he wanted, Cheng Guohua was angry and helpless at the naughty child. He had no choice but to scare the other party and said he would kill him.
I don’t know what others think, but Lin Fan put himself into the role of Ning Caichen and imagined the scene, which was indeed quite exciting.
Anyway, Lin Fan was very satisfied, and Liang Wen was also very satisfied, but no one said anything at the scene. It was just that a kind of tacit understanding spread in the collision of everyone's eyes.
Liang Wen smiled and asked Lin Fan: "Teacher Lin, what do you think of this actor?"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Lin Fan smiled: "A very good actor! I just don't know how is the singing?"
Cheng Guohua was stunned: "Ah? Still want to sing?"
"Yes, there is a song here that is written for Yan Chixia to sing." Lin Fan picked out the lyrics of "Tao" from the script and handed it to Cheng Guohua, "This is it, Teacher Cheng, give it a try."
Cheng Guohua took the lyrics and looked confused: "There's no music score on it?"
Although you may not be able to sing even if you have the score, you absolutely cannot sing without the score.
Lin Fan encouraged: "It's okay, just sing whatever you want."
Since Lin Fan asked for it, Cheng Guohua didn't refuse. He just sang whatever he wanted. Besides, I couldn't sing according to the score, so I could express myself freely without the score. So Cheng Guohua expressed himself freely.
So, the other actors who were waiting in line outside for the audition heard a burst of ghostly howling and very crazy laughter coming from the interview room, and everyone was frightened.
Is everything alright in here?
I've never heard of an audition segment that needs to be so...exciting?
