In the studio,
Wei Shaoyan was pulling a young man who was about 180cm tall, slender, and with a fair complexion, and was giving him earnest instructions.
"Xiao Shen, remember to do your best in the audition later. Don't be nervous. I believe in your abilities. Also, don't call me uncle outside. Just call me Brother Wei, so that others don't think you have connections, okay?"
Zhou Shen nodded excitedly, "I understand, uncle."
Wei Shaoyan: “…”
"Uncle, is the director your friend?"
Zhou Shen was very happy. He hadn't taken on a filming role for a long time, and this time his uncle Wei Shaoyan told him clearly that the role he was going to audition for was actually the protagonist!
This is just awesome!
He has graduated for three years and has always only played supporting roles.
In fact, there are many students graduating from acting majors every year, but only a few of them can stand out.
Opportunities are very rare, and there are often dozens of people competing for a supporting role.
Zhou Shen doesn't have any deep background or connections. All he has is the occasional help from his uncle who is an assistant director and a pure heart that pursues his dreams. Although there have not been many opportunities in recent years, he always takes them very seriously.
This time, the opportunity
It's the protagonist!
One of the soul characters of a drama!
He was very excited and grateful at the same time, so before coming, he used his remaining living expenses to buy a fruit basket and a pack of cigarettes to give to the director to leave a good impression.
Although it's quite shabby, it's already his limit...
"Whether they are friends or not is none of your business. As long as you have the ability, you can definitely succeed. Don't think about taking shortcuts all the time."
"Okay." Zhou Shen scratched the back of his head shyly, then took out an apple from the fruit basket. "Uncle, this is the fruit basket I just bought from the supermarket. It's very fresh. Would you like to try one?"
Wei Shaoyan wanted to cry but had no tears. "Please stop calling me uncle, okay? Do you want me to kneel down and call you brother?"
…
As soon as he entered, he saw two people whispering in the office. Qin Sheng walked over with a smile, "Wei Shaoyan, have they called you?"
Wei Shaoyan pointed at Zhou Shen and said, "Here, isn't this it?"
Qin Sheng looked at him carefully for a while. Well, Wei Shaoyan was not bragging. Although he was still a little bit less handsome than me, he was indeed quite handsome.
Zhou Shen's personality tends to be sunny and cheerful, but under Qin Sheng's professional "crazy scanning", he became a little nervous, and even his voice stuttered.
"Director... Director, hello, my name is Zhou Shen. I bought this little something while I was passing by. I hope you can accept it."
As he said this, he put the fruit basket and cigarettes on the table and took two steps back nervously.
The young man is quite simple...
Qin Sheng smiled silently inwardly, glanced at the fruit basket on the table, and shook his head. "No need to give me anything. Take these things with you when you leave. I don't have any favors. Yes, yes, no, no. I won't be swayed by any other factors."
"I know that." Zhou Shen nodded solemnly, "Uncle... No, Brother Wei told me when he asked me to come here that the director's requirements are very strict, and even Kui Dongqiang doesn't like it."
"Yes." Qin Sheng nodded, took out the script excerpt that had been selected long ago, and handed it to Zhou Shen. "You'll have ten minutes to prepare. Perform a scene for me without props according to this scene in the script."
"Okay." Zhou Shen walked out of the room with great confidence and continued to read while gathering his emotions. The exaggerated thing was that this guy used the method of reading aloud, not only with ups and downs, but also with a very loud voice - it felt like an elementary school student who was punished by the teacher to recite in the corridor.
However, soon, the parents of the child stars who had been in contact also brought their children to audition. Although this film was only a low-budget work, the remuneration offered by Wei Shaoyan was quite generous, and the script was also very good, which naturally attracted many parents to sign up.
Maybe it was because Zhou Shen set a bad example, the "one flower blooming" in the corridor instantly turned into "a hundred flowers blooming". Parents encouraged their children to read out their lines aloud, and the whole studio suddenly became lively and bustling like a vegetable market.
Half an hour later, the audition began.
Since Zhou Shen's segment was quite long, Qin Sheng gave him more time and arranged his audition at the end.
As for these child stars, most of them have participated in some small works, or played some childhood clips of the protagonists, so they are not stage-frightened and can basically speak their lines fluently.
After more than an hour, the audition for Mo Xiaobei's role was finally over. Qin Sheng put the circled names aside, intending to focus on the selection later, and called Zhou Shen in.
The background of this clip that Qin Sheng intercepted was after Zhu Wushuang came to Tongfu Inn. Everyone in the inn complained that Li Dazui's cooking skills were not good, but they were worried about hurting Li Dazui's self-esteem, so they sent Bai Zhantang to lure Li Dazui away to make it easier for Zhu Wushuang to enter the kitchen to work.
Perhaps because his emotions had been brewing for a long time or because his abilities were indeed quite good, Zhou Shen instantly got into the state.
He didn't mind that the ground was dirty, he just sat down cross-legged on the ground, his eyes looking vaguely at him.
"How can I tell you this..."
"I should start from a long time ago..."
Carefully observing the changes in Zhou Shen's facial expression, Qin Sheng curled his lips and smiled.
Quite interesting, really good skills.
"Then later..."
Zhou Shen stood up, looked out the window, and swayed his body up and down.
"Liao happened again~"
"What kind of"
"Mysterious"
"Unspeakable"
"Strange"
"Tired of events?"
After saying that, he twisted his face into the shape of the Chinese character "囧".
“Puff…Puff…Puff…”
Wei Shaoyan couldn't help but let out a fart-like laughter on the spot.
However, Zhou Shen didn't pay attention to his uncle's performance. His eyes were always fixed on Qin Sheng, who had a calm face, waiting for his answer.
Should be able to pass, right?
He thought this silently in his heart, his heart beating anxiously.
However, Qin Sheng remained silent, like an old cadre who was neither happy nor sad.
To be honest, this was the first time Zhou Shen was so nervous. Perhaps it was because Qin Sheng inexplicably gave people an overly calm aura, or perhaps it was because the role he was auditioning for was the protagonist. His back was already covered in cold sweat.
finally,
Three seconds later,
Qin Sheng's expression finally changed and he smiled.
Oh my god, love it, this man finally smiled!
Those eyes seemed to be filled with eager anticipation, as if silently telling myself that I am actually a good actor, and this leading role should have been yours!
Zhou Shen was very moved, took a deep breath and said seriously,
"Thank you, Director Qin!"
“I will definitely work hard!!”
