Chapter 547 How can a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child act?
Girls change a lot when they grow up, and they become more and more beautiful.
In fact, Li Ye had seen Zhong Haohao on TV in his previous life.
At that time, her role as Qu Xia in "The Right Path in the World is Vicissitudes" left a deep impression on Li Ye.
But at that time, Zhong Haohao was already over 18 years old, and her face shape and body shape had changed. Moreover, she was no longer called Zhong Haohao, but Kelan, so Li Ye did not recognize her just now.
At that time, many people were saying that Kelan had an extraordinary family background and was one of the most powerful actresses in mainland China.
At that time, Li Ye didn't quite understand why she wanted to enter the entertainment industry since she had such a good family background. She also bluntly said that she entered the entertainment industry for the high income and vanity.
No matter how you look at it, this doesn't resemble the impression of a "wealthy family".
But now Li Ye believed it.
Since meeting Wen Leyu, Li Ye has learned that many "upright" bosses have children who are ordinary workers.
Moreover, large families focus on "concentrating resources to accomplish great things" and invest all resources on a few heirs. Those who are not loved by their grandmothers and uncles will definitely not receive much support from resources.
For children like Zhong Haohao whose parents are divorced and who are not spoiled and passed around, they can either "find a class to attend" or make their own way.
So Colan went abroad to Ghana to work as a waiter at the age of fourteen, and went to Hong Kong Island to develop her career at the age of sixteen. If we put aside some of her later issues with her stance, she can indeed be called a self-reliant woman.
"Oh, your name is Zhong Haohao, right? It's a nice name. Take a good look at the character Xiao Hongying in the novel, maybe you can find some resonance with her."
“.”
Zhong Haohao looked at Li Ye and always felt that there was an inexplicable penetrating power in the look in his eyes, which could see through her thoughts.
"Resonance?"
Zhong Haohao said this silently, and subconsciously picked up the book and started reading.
She wanted to see what kind of character she could relate to, or whether this good-looking writer was just flattering herself for the commission from her elders.
Li Ye would definitely not flatter Zhong Haohao. In this world, apart from a few close people like Wen Leyu, Teacher Ke and his mother Fu Guiru, he was too lazy to flatter anyone.
. . . . . . .
Li Ye entered the office building, asked as he walked, and finally found Director Xiao who was in charge of liaison and coordination.
"Student Li Ye, you've come just in time. Everyone has already gathered in the small auditorium. I'll take you there right away."
Director Xiao enthusiastically led Li Ye out and asked Li Ye, "By the way, the day before yesterday you said there was a little actor coming to audition, where is he?"
Li Ye pointed at Zhong Haohao who was reading a novel at the corner of the stairs outside the door and said, "Look, that's her. She's the right age and looks the right girl."
"Oh really?"
Director Xiao glanced at Zhong Haohao and couldn't help feeling puzzled.
[Is this a last-minute effort? It's unreliable! ]
Director Xiao knew the story behind "The Deserter in the Fire", so he didn't treat Li Ye as an ordinary editor.
Therefore, Director Xiao still values the "relatives" brought by Li Ye, but you are still reading novels at this time, forget it, it is the director's business anyway, just bring it over yourself.
The group arrived at the small auditorium, where many people were already sitting, and these people were vaguely divided into two groups.
Because Li Ye had already met most of the crew members during the script submission process, he could tell at a glance that one group was the crew members and the other was the actors who came for audition.
A woman in her forties in the front row saw Li Ye coming in and immediately said with a smile: "You are so slow, you just came after a few days? What's the matter, you just took the money and left it alone? You need to pay more attention."
The woman's name is Wang Haowei. She is an important figure among the fourth generation of directors in mainland China and the director of "Deserter in Fire". She has met Li Ye twice.
Because she was from Weixian, Dongshan, and was a fellow villager of Li Ye, the conversation between them was not so awkward.
After Li Ye handed in the script, he received a sum of royalties, so she teased Li Ye with a smile.
Li Ye said with a smile: "Director Wang, you are wronging me. I am not giving up. I trust your vision very much, so I was a little lazy. Please bear with me."
Li Ye really believed in Wang Haowei's vision. At that time, directors and film studios still paid great attention to casting in accordance with the script, and would never produce a funny version of the bloody-handed butcher Ning Liheng in later generations.
"Okay, okay, I know you're busy with your final exams, I was just joking with you,"
Wang Haowei smiled and asked, "Where is the little actor you mentioned? Isn't he the one who is reading the novel?"
Li Ye glanced back and said helplessly: "Well, it's her. Her personality and temperament are very consistent with Xiao Hongying. You can try other roles later and put her in the last one. If she works, it's fine. If not, there's nothing we can do."
Wang Haowei's smile slowly disappeared, and she said calmly, "Okay, if her temperament is really suitable as you said, you can give her two more days."
Although Wang Haowei is only in her forties, because the four most famous directors of Beijing Film Studio have passed away in recent years, she is actually considered a big director of Beijing Film Studio and naturally does not tolerate any injustice.
I came for the audition today, and I've only just read the script. Are you kidding me?
"Come, let's try out the lead actor Hu Yi and the supporting actor Li Youcai, Zhang Fengyi, and Chen Peisi first."
Li Ye watched a tall, long-faced man and the "noodle-eating" Chen Peisi walk out from the group of actors, arrive in front of the small auditorium, briefly introduce themselves, and then begin to perform a segment as required.
They were acting out a scene in which the male lead, Hu Yi, and the deputy captain of the detective team, Li Youcai, were in the county town.
Chen Peisi was walking on the road when he suddenly saw Zhang Fengyi. He was stunned for a few seconds and then said with resentment: "Sir, why are you still in the county? The military police are looking for you everywhere."
Zhang Fengyi said coldly: "We can't get out. You have to help us get out of the city."
"Why am I so unlucky? I can help you get out of the city, but you have to do me a favor too, hey hey hey, let's talk it over, don't get angry"
“Hahahaha~”
I have to say that Chen Peisi's comedic talent is truly amazing. With just a few lines, he brought a slick spy to life.
The coldness and ferocity displayed by Zhang Fengyi is also very similar to the killer Hu Yi in the novel, but his face shape always makes Li Ye feel a little lacking.
As for the male lead, it is always better to be tough and handsome. Although Zhang Fengyi was a tough actor in the 1980s, he lacks the handsomeness.
Li Ye glanced at the actors waiting for auditions and saw another candidate.
"Next group, Zhou Lijing."
Zhou Lijing is undoubtedly very handsome, and he later starred in many tough police and gangster films, so he also has a lot of flavor in his acting.
The outstanding performances of both actors made Li Ye feel it was difficult to make a choice. It was obvious that they had made a lot of preparations and put in a lot of effort for this play.
Li Ye looked back and found that Zhong Haohao was still studying the script hard. He couldn't help but sigh helplessly.
Who would have thought that it has been so long since "Deserter of War" was released, but she hasn't even read the novel?
"Next is the audition for Xiao Hongying. Liu Xiaoqing, you go first."
“.”
Li Ye was stunned for a moment and looked up at the stage.
He thought he had heard wrongly.
Liu Xiaoqing is asked to play Xiao Hongying? Do you think she is playing the 16-year-old Wu Zetian? Are you kidding?
Although Liu Xiaoqing is only in his twenties now, how old is Xiao Hongying?
It is clearly written in the novel that when Xiao Hongying appeared, Tiankui had not yet arrived!
But Liu Xiaoqing really acted it out, portraying the image of a young girl in a very serious manner.
For the first time, Li Ye began to doubt the "serious attitude" of directors in the 1980s.
After Liu Xiaoqing finished his performance, he won a lot of applause, except for Li Ye, who had a frown on his face.
Xiao Hongying is the soul character in "Deserter in War". If Liu Xiaoqing had played the role, Li Ye would have simply overturned the table.
But then, Li Ye understood why.
Because two little actors aged 13 or 14 were cast to play the role of Xiao Hongying, and the result was horrible.
Their stiff acting skills and stereotyped and dogmatic performance style are not as good as Liu Xiaoqing's!
"Alas~"
Li Ye couldn't help but sigh.
How many thirteen-year-olds can act?
It is too difficult for children aged thirteen or fourteen to play the role of an "old soldier" who grew up in the war and then drive a series of plots.
"Group 2, Jiang Shan."
The last group to go on stage was a group of girls about 17 or 18 years old, and they were relatively the best ones.
But in Li Ye's eyes, it still does not meet the standards.
Although Li Ye has a deep memory of her and Wang Zhiwen's wonderful performance in "Getting High", she is already 18 years old and a grown-up girl. How can she perform the temperament of the "big bully" of the independent group?
Xiao Hongying, who was thirteen or fourteen years old, could act arrogantly and unreasonably in the independent regiment, bullying this and that, but Xiao Hongying, who was eighteen years old, do you dare to disobey discipline?
I'll shoot you without hesitation.
"Tsk~"
A disdainful voice came from behind Li Ye's head. He knew it was Zhong Haohao without even turning around.
"Hey, it's your turn next! Pull out the mule or horse for a ride!"
"I say again, I am Zhong Haohao, not a child, nor a mule or a horse."
“.”
"Who is that? Come and try it!"
Zhong Haohao stood up, put her hands on her waist, and walked slowly onto the stage with a step that showed no regard for her relatives.
As she walked, she also tied up Xiao Hongying's two iconic pigtails.
Director Wang Haowei's eyes suddenly lit up.
