Chapter 472: If I miss this, I will regret it for the rest of my life!
"Sir."
Riemann was wearing a long dress today. The fitted cut brought out her graceful waist. At this moment, Riemann seemed to have turned into a jealous wife. Seeing her husband smiling at another girl, she couldn't help but called out to him with a hint of anger.
After calling out, Riemann paused for a moment, as if someone responded to her. But in fact, in this audition, Riemann was the only one performing a solo, and there was no one acting with her. She could only rely on her imagination to perform the scene.
Today is the first audition for the cast of "Legend of the White Snake". The actors invited are those who have worked with Shanghai Film Group before, which is a preferential treatment for these "royal team". Of course, if they fail the internal audition, they will have an extra chance, which is the external public audition.
During the public auditions, actors who didn't pass the first time can try again. If they still fail this time, then it would be a shame.
Of course, it was impossible for Li Man and Su Tong to audition at the same time, which was a respect for the two first-line actresses. So Li Man auditioned in the morning, and Su Tong in the afternoon, the two staggered a little to avoid bumping into each other.
As for the audition clips, they are randomly drawn, and whichever clip is drawn is that. Lin Fan himself doesn't know which clip the actor will draw.
In the audition room, Lin Fan sat in the center, with Hu Yuhua and the director of Shanghai Film Group on his left, and Liang Wen, who was obsessed with the editing of A Chinese Ghost Story but was forcibly pulled over by Lin Fan to support the scene, on his right. There were other staff members in the room, and everyone's eyes were focused on Li Man.
Riemann paused for a moment, then quickly continued his line: "When I think of something happy, I keep smiling foolishly!"
This plot is about Xu Xian being exiled to Suzhou and being taken care of by his uncle. This uncle has a daughter named Wu Yulian, who is a popular female supporting character in "New White".
When Wu Yulian first met the handsome Xu Xian, she fell in love with him at first sight. Later, she learned that Xu Xian had the White Snake and was stopped from being in love with Xu Xian by the White Snake disguised as Guanyin. So she did not pester Xu Xian later on, and even personally gave Xu Xian the rice dumplings she had made on the Dragon Boat Festival.
This scene is the one where White Snake can't help feeling jealous when she sees Xu Xian laughing at the back of his junior sister as she leaves after delivering the rice dumplings.
The character of the White Snake is cute and lovely in the early stage, gentle and generous in the middle stage, and full of maternal love in the later stage. Both the character's mental journey and the actual time span are quite long. In addition, the White Snake itself is a snake demon who has practiced for thousands of years and is by no means an ignorant girl who is ignorant of the world.
The temperament of this character must be ethereal yet gorgeous, and enchanting yet fresh.
Therefore, the entire role is very difficult and not easy to grasp.
Riemann got to play this scene, and he didn't know whether it was good luck or bad luck.
I was lucky because this scene was not difficult. As long as I could understand the psychological activities well, it was easy to act.
The reason for her bad luck is that with Riemann's acting skills and personal image, it is actually more suitable for her to play the White Snake in the middle and late stages. She can very well fit the mature temperament that has been experienced over the years, but if she plays the White Snake in the early stages, if she doesn't grasp it well, there will be a sense of forcing herself to act young.
Riemann had to maintain the character of the White Snake who had a thousand years of cultivation experience, and then play the role of the White Snake tasting human love for the first time, knowing the ups and downs of it, just like the feeling of a human girl falling in love for the first time.
All in all, it's very challenging.
In particular, although the White Snake was clearly jealous, every word she said was in praise of Yu Lian, without a single word of slander. To put it in today's terms, it was a classic case of following the Green Tea character's path and leaving her with nowhere to go.
The original words are as follows:
"Sir, in your opinion, is Miss Yulian very cute?"
"Sir, you are wrong. I treat you very well!"
"Think about it, you were stranded in Suzhou, and they took you in and treated you so well. In this hot weather, today is the Dragon Boat Festival, and they braved the sun to send you rice dumplings. Don't you think such people are lovable?"
"So, how does she compare to me?"
…
Every word, every frown, every smile, every turn and every snort made Xu Xian very anxious.
In one word, absolutely!
Li Man finished his performance and signaled to Lin Fan: "Director, my performance is over."
"Good!" Lin Fan couldn't help but lead the applause, "Sister Man's acting skills are really well-deserved, it's really great!"
Lin Fan seemed to see the figure of the White Snake in Li Man: "Can I ask, did you deliberately learn some gestures, postures, and steps of the drama?"
Lin Fan remembered that during the last meal, Li Man didn't have this kind of charm, or didn't show it. But during the audition today, both Lin Fan and Hu Yuhua could see that Li Man had made up for himself after returning home these few days.
The effect of this make-up class was fully demonstrated today.
Li Man had nothing to be ashamed to admit: "Yes, I did make up for it after I went back, but maybe the time was short and I was not able to integrate all these things. I am sorry to make the director laugh."
"No, I am satisfied."
Hearing Lin Fan's words, Li Man knew that he had made the right move.
…
Li Man left Shanghai Film Studio in a low-key manner and got into the nanny car waiting downstairs. In the car, the agent couldn't wait to ask, "How was the audition? Did it go well?"
Li Man smiled and said, "It went very smoothly. Although the part I was assigned wasn't difficult, it was a challenge for me. I felt that I did a good job, and Lin Fan didn't hide his satisfaction with my performance."
The agent's eyes lit up: "Then..."
Li Man shook his head: "Whether it can be decided depends on how Su Tong's audition goes."
The agent had to admit that what Li Man said was right. Even if Lin Fan was satisfied with Li Man, it was impossible for him to decide on Li Man as the female lead without watching Su Tong's performance.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Su Tong is a formidable rival."
yes.
Li Man also felt that this role was the one he was least confident of, not only because his opponent was Su Tong, but also because the director was Lin Fan and the core screenwriter was also Lin Fan.
The assistant didn't quite understand: "Sister Man, you take this role so seriously, is it really that good?"
Is it really worth it for a TVB actress to try her best to win the award, and even seek tutoring in private? Riemann thought about this question for a while: "Have you read "The Sky Survey"?"
The assistant nodded vigorously: "Look, this is the most popular drama recently."
"Which character do you like best?"
"Of course it's the second female lead, she's beautiful, cool, decisive and so handsome!"
Riemann spread his hands and said, "See, this is the problem."
The assistant didn't quite understand.
The agent explained: "In previous TV series, every important character was carefully portrayed by the screenwriter, and the character's mental journey and growth experience were all traceable. You know why this character does such a thing, and you will be affected by this character because you can identify with the character's experience."
This is especially true for the protagonist.
But now, the protagonist has become a template, a routine. Either he is born noble or has infinite magical powers, or the protagonist's halo is so strong that it explodes. Anyway, it's just another drama with a different name and background, without any core content.
As a result, more and more people began to appreciate the second male and female characters, and even the villain characters, because these characters are logical and can bring a sense of identification to the audience, and not just because they are the protagonists, everything they do is right.
Li Man concluded: "The script of "Legend of White Snake" and the character portrayal are back to the essence, and since it is a collaboration with Shanghai Film Group, the quality is guaranteed. So, if I miss such a good script and such a good role, I think I will definitely regret it."
Not to mention, Li Man also received news from other channels that Lin Fan and Shanghai Film Studios were also planning to incorporate traditional opera elements into this play.
If successful, this play may become a benchmark project in the cultural industry!
Riemann paused for a moment and added: "If I miss it, I will regret it for the rest of my life!"
