Now, only actor number 1 and actor number 3 remain in the audition room.
Number 1 was none other than Fan Cong.
Number 3 is a somewhat famous actor, but based on his qualifications, he is not qualified to audition for the male lead.
But now that he has this opportunity, he has come.
Regardless of whether the script was written by a new director, landing the lead role is a valuable experience for improving one's acting skills.
Director Yang asked the two of them to improvise a scene from a classic movie.
Whoever's emotions develop more intensely wins the role.
This famous scene depicts a family tragedy where all relatives pass away on the same day, leaving only two brothers alive.
Fan Cong, being more experienced, immediately got into the zone. His first reaction wasn't to burst into tears, despair, or shock, but rather a kind of blank expression.
This awkwardness is mostly reflected in body language.
"Stop joking around. I was video chatting with Mom last night." Fan Cong's first reaction upon receiving the notification from the local official was disbelief; he denied it.
However, he recognized the person in charge in front of him; he was a local official, a public servant. Generally, when a public servant issues a notice, it's not a joke.
Therefore, as Fan Cong denied it, his expression gradually changed from blank to sneer.
It took actor number 3 a while to adjust before he started to get into character.
Although he got into character later than Fan Cong, he immediately delivered a phenomenal performance.
From dullness to idiocy, then from idiocy to madness, and finally, in the midst of madness, a sliver of reason is suppressed, and with the last vestiges of reason, one seeks proof, drooling uncontrollably.
Just when it seemed that Fan Cong's acting was about to be overshadowed, he suddenly burst out on his own.
The scene where Fan Cong and No. 3 are acting against each other is so convincing that it's impossible to tell they're acting together. Even if you know it's performance, you can tell they're more like brothers.
Finally, number 3 put in even more effort, his eyes rolled back and he collapsed to the ground, his cheek slamming hard against the earth.
Yang Kai was startled: "Holy crap, this actor number 3 is serious! Quick, check if he's alright."
Falling to the ground without any safety measures is very painful!
As other staff members intervened, Fan Cong went even further, rolling his eyes and falling backward to the ground without any safety measures in place, almost landing on the back of his head.
Li Zhaoyang's expression turned ferocious.
No, it's just an audition performance, why put on such a hard performance?
"Are you two alright?" Yang Kai was so frightened that he ran over to check the heads and faces of the two male actors.
"A minor bump or bruise is nothing serious; it's an essential skill for any professional actor." Fan Cong started to get nervous. He had originally thought he had the lead role in the bag, but he hadn't expected this third lead actor to have such explosive acting skills.
Although I was invited by Director Yang, my chances of getting the audition are very high.
But Director Yang is only an assistant director after all, and No. 3's performance was also excellent. What if Director Li decides to cast No. 3?
Number 3 felt the same way; Fan Cong's acting was too good, and there was a high probability that he would be eliminated.
"It's good that you're alright." Yang Kai breathed a sigh of relief and praised, "Your performance was excellent, you have the potential to be Best Actor. Give you a few more years to hone your skills, and with a high-quality film or television work, you will definitely win the Best Actor award."
After saying that, Yang Kai looked at Li Zhaoyang and asked, "Both of you gave amazing performances and were able to handle the role of Truman. Director Li, what do you think is the best course of action?"
Li Zhaoyang has a very broad perspective. Only children make choices; adults want it all: "Keep them all."
Yang Kai was stunned: "There can only be one male lead, and I personally prefer Fan Cong."
This is the benefit of having connections.
I'll mention it briefly at a crucial moment.
Fan Cong was secretly delighted.
The third male actor felt a chill run down his spine. He wasn't stupid; they were both in the film and television industry, and he could tell that Director Yang knew this Fan Cong, and that they were quite close.
“Personally, I also prefer Fan Cong,” Li Zhaoyang nodded.
The male actor in number 3 looked dejected. He hadn't expected that even though he performed so well in the audition, he still wouldn't get the lead role.
well.
A feeling of loss enveloped my entire being.
"Number 3, you can stay too and play the second male lead." Li Zhaoyang didn't want to miss out on such a good actor, as he would inevitably have to film other movies in the future.
Fan Cong and No. 3 are about the same in terms of acting skills; neither is better than the other.
Fan Cong is suitable for the role of Truman, but who knows, in the next movie, number 3 might be more suitable for the male lead.
Li Zhaoyang's first choice is someone with acting skills but not much popularity.
"Huh?" The No. 3 male actor thought he had been eliminated, but he didn't expect to win the second male lead role.
"What's your name?" Li Zhaoyang asked.
"Chen Xian".
"Okay, someone will come to you to sign the contract in a bit. After the contract is signed, you will get the script. Also, go out and call the actress who auditioned for the female lead."
Li Zhaoyang confessed.
Fan Cong and Chen Xian left with satisfied expressions.
Chen Xian getting the second male lead role isn't too disappointing; it's better than being eliminated altogether.
He believed in his acting skills, and that as long as he acted opposite the male lead for a short time, he could be associated with the male lead's popularity, making the audience feel that the second male lead was in no way inferior to the male lead.
Next up is the audition for the female lead, there's one person in total.
Originally, there were two people, but the third person was personally found by Yang Kai, and he fit the script perfectly.
But that actress was snatched away by the Crows, so the remaining person faced no competition whatsoever.
Although there is no competitive pressure.
However, during the audition, she didn't have any particularly explosive acting skills.
It's also possible that Li Zhaoyang and Yang Kai were impressed by Fan Cong and Chen Xian's acting skills, so they found the female lead's performance unremarkable.
Li Zhaoyang has temporarily listed this actress as a candidate for the lead role.
Sure enough, the actresses who came to audition after receiving the news still lacked acting skills.
Only actors found through connections can guarantee their acting skills.
Next up are the third male lead and the second female lead.
The auditions for the second male lead were basically skipped because Chen Xian had already been cast.
However, during the audition for the second female lead, Li Zhaoyang and Yang Kai discovered an unexpected surprise.
Song Zhihua, who auditioned for the second female lead, may seem to have a quirky personality, but she can portray a unique temperament.
This temperament is very similar to her eldest sister, Song Yuqin, and also very similar to her second-tier sister, Song Zhiqi.
That aura is so powerful.
Li Zhaoyang directly asked her to play a scene as the female lead.
In the end, Song Zhihua was able to perfectly handle the role: "You should play the female lead."
And so, Song Zhihua was rejected when she auditioned for the second female lead, but the good news was that she went on to play the female lead.
"I'm going to play the female lead?" Song Zhihua was a little flattered. She came to the United States just to have fun and thought about making some movies in her spare time. However, after more than a month, she still hadn't auditioned for a role that suited her.
I actually landed the lead role today with Brother Zhaoyang.
That's the female lead.
“Yes.” Yang Kai nodded for Director Li: “You have a very strong presence, it must be something you were born with, and this kind of presence is especially suitable for acting.”
Yang Kai didn't know that Song Zhihua had three older sisters. If he did, he would have noticed that Song Zhihua's demeanor was very similar to that of her three older sisters.
However, Li Zhaoyang, who knew the inside story, had already realized that Zhihua was particularly suited for the film and television industry.
It's not just the contrast, but more importantly, the acting skills.
Acting skills combined with temperament can sometimes produce amazing results.
It's like some actresses who perform very ordinary roles in certain movies, but one day they change their makeup and go to film a movie, and they amaze all the audiences.
This is called a sense of contrast.
Over the next few hours, I auditioned for several important roles.
Around five o'clock, the main actors were basically finalized.
The male lead is Fan Cong, and the second male lead is Chen Xian.
The lead actress is Song Zhihua, and the second lead actress is Lin Chan.
Lin Chan was originally auditioned for the lead role and was included in the candidate list, but then she was promoted to the second lead role.
For the roles that follow, the candidates are not considered important and can be replaced at any time, so we are looking for people based on the standards of ordinary people.
