492 Painted Skin Auditions

At the premiere last night, not only did Er Dongsheng deliver an excellent answer, but Qin Yu, as a supporting role, also attracted the attention of directors of Xiangjiang.

As the president of the Xiangjiang Directors' Union and the chairman of the 26th Xiangjiang Film Awards, Chen Jiashang also accepted Er Dongsheng's invitation last night to attend the premiere of "The Disciples".

At first, Chen Jiashang, like other directors, had no special impression of Qin Yu. Even when Joanna took Qin Yu into the venue, she was a little surprised at the relationship between the two and said hello to him.

Qin Yu's performance in this film really made him shine.

A layman watches the excitement, while an expert looks at the tricks. Qin Yu gives him a strange feeling. This is a very powerful actor. Not only is the male protagonist Wu Yanzu covered up his sharpness when he was acting with him, but even Liu Dehua, who did not appear in the same mirror with him, was vaguely compared by him.

This is an actor who knows how to act with his eyes. The last time he gave him this feeling was his brother Leslie Cheung. Chen Jiashang and Leslie Cheung collaborated on "Love Fighting Okinawa". Leslie Cheung has the same phoenix eyes as Qin Yu, with clear and brightness.

However, Leslie Cheung's eyes were full of deep love, and with just one look, the brilliance that rippled out of his heart, while Qin Yu's eyes in "The Disciples" were confused, cowardly and ruthless. In his eyes, you can see the drug addict's hatred for drugs, but helplessly sinking into it.

Last night, Wang Jinghua asked someone to find Chen Jiashang, and he would agree happily using Qin Yu's excuse of being in Xiangjiang at this time. He wanted to arrange an audition in advance. He wanted to see if Qin Yu's amazing performance in "The Disciples" was a flash in the pan or that his acting skills had reached this point.

In Chen Jiashang's mind, Wang Sheng has three candidates, Chen Kun, Huang Xiaoming and Qin Yu. Qin Yu was originally ranked last in Chen Jiashang's mind.

"Painted Skin" is a commercial film, and the first thing to consider is appeal. In this regard, Chen Kun is superior to the other two, followed by Huang Xiaoming. Qin Yu has come from behind with the drama "Struggle", and has almost no difference with Chen Kun. However, the main appeal of a few people is concentrated on the small screen, and the big screen has not completely proved himself.

Secondly, Chen Jiashang is also worried about Qin Yu's acting skills. Although this is a commercial film, the male protagonist Wang Sheng needs to deal with his wife Peirong and the fox demon Xiaowei. At present, Xiaoshi's role has been set for next week. This is an actress with a very spiritual performance. So the acting requirements of male actors cannot be considered according to general commercial films.

Chen Kun has worked with Zhou Xun many times before, and he has a relatively advantage. However, Chen Kun also has a disadvantage, that is, his costume looks too feminine.

Although this drama was derived from "Painted Skin" in "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio", the script has added a lot of magical colors after being adapted by Chen Jiashang. As the leader of the Wang Family Army, Wang Sheng, in addition to being elegant, also needs to have an inner masculinity. In this temperament, Huang Xiaoming and Qin Yu are much better than Chen Kun.

Finally, there is one thing that is most important, that is, Chen Kun has the highest value among the three. After Chen Kun's audition, Chen Jiashang revealed a relatively satisfied tone, and the other party's agent Chang Jihong bit the pay of 6 million yuan and refused to let go. Chang Jihong wanted Chen Kun to become the first male movie star in the mainland with a pay of more than 5 million yuan after the 75th Five-Year Planet.

This made Chen Jiashang hesitate and was preparing to make a final decision after the audition for all three of them. Currently, Qin Yu is the only one who has not auditioned yet.

Because it requires a lot of special effects, the total pay budget for this drama is only 15 million. The only female lead who has been confirmed has used up 3.5 million yuan. Another female lead or supporting role, Pang Yong, and Chen Jiashang, want to find a Xiangjiang artist. As the president of the Xiangjiang Directors Union, he shoulders the important task of revitalizing Xiangjiang movies.

In his consideration, if the heroine chooses the Hong Kong actress, the pay will definitely exceed Zhou Xun. Whether it is Zhang Bozhi or Mo Wenwei, the value will be around 5 million. If Pang Yong chooses the Hong Kong male star, the value will not be lower than this number, whether it is Zhen Zaitan or Gu Juji. At that time, some supporting role pay will be added, so the pay budget for the male lead will not exceed 5 million.

Wang Jinghua took Qin Yu to Jiahe Pictures at 1:00 pm. Chen Jiashang, the president of the Xiangjiang Directors Union, did not set up his own film company, but was affiliated with Jiahe Pictures and had his own office on Jiahe Pictures.

Seeing Chen Jiashang, Wang Jinghua said to Chen Jiashang with apologetic expression: "Hello Director Chen, I'm really sorry. Qin Yu followed Mr. Qiao to visit the grave this morning. So he changed the time to the afternoon, and it didn't cause any inconvenience to you."

Wang Jinghua came to Xiangjiang this time mainly to take Qin Yu for audition. As an agent, she was not as arrogant as Qin Yu. After seeing Chen Jiashang, she first pulled Joanna out.

Sure enough, when Chen Jiashang heard Wang Jinghua's words, he looked at Qin Yu with a strange look and asked uncertainly: "I wonder what Qin Sheng, you have to do with Sister Anna?"

"Relationship. Qiao is always a relative of Qin Yu's family." When Qin Yu was a little hesitant, Wang Jinghua took the lead in answering. No matter what, Joanna "having a child without marriage" and Qin Yu as an "illegitimate child" did not want to disclose it to the public.

"Old Qiao, my elder." Qin Yu nodded to Chen Jiashang.

Although he was still a little confused, Chen Jiashang did not ask the bottom line. With the background of the Joanna family in the mainland, if he was a relative, Qin Yu's background should be unusual.

Chen Jiashang looked at Qin Yu and asked, "You have read the script. What do you think of the male protagonist in this drama?"

"Wang Sheng?" Qin Yu understood that Chen Jiashang was starting the audition. Each director auditioned differently. Some liked to watch your performance first, while others liked to understand your understanding of the story first.

Qin Yu thought for a while and said to Chen Jiashang: "In my understanding, Wang Sheng is a scumbag."

"Qin Yu, don't talk nonsense."

Wang Jinghua and Yang Siwei, who also read the script, were a little surprised when they heard Qin Yu's words. Wang Jinghua even suspected that Qin Yu had not understood the script and said nothing.

In order to avoid Qin Yu offending Chen Jiashang, Wang Jinghua retorted: "Wang Sheng is loyal to his wife, and even chose to be killed by the fox demon in order to save Peirong. How could he be a scumbag?"

On the contrary, Chen Jiashang, the screenwriter of this drama, was not surprised at all, and even showed some appreciation. He looked at Qin Yu and said, "Scumbag? This statement is very novel. Let's listen."

"In my opinion, Wang Sheng's feelings for Peirong are not all love, they should be possession and half of them are responsibility." Qin Yu did not care about Wang Jinghua's words and said to Chen Jiashang: "Wang Sheng's first layer of possession for Peirong. Because before marrying Wang Sheng, Peirong loved Pang Yong, and her jade pendant was a certificate. Therefore, Wang Sheng should be possessive of Peirong, and let Wang Sheng stick to this marriage, so this should not be love."

"Well, keep going." Hearing Qin Yu's explanation, Chen Jiashang's appreciation in his eyes became even stronger. Even Wang Jinghua and Yang Siwei next to him stopped questioning eyes and listened to his explanation.

"One other reason why Wang Sheng insists on this marriage is the word responsibility." Qin Yu continued: "Peirong serves Wang Sheng wholeheartedly, gentle, virtuous, elegant and generous. Wang Sheng, as the head of the family, has the responsibility to protect her, just as Wang Sheng needed to kill Peirong to protect the people in the entire city in the end. This is his responsibility. So he said, "You are my wife, no matter whether you are a human or a demon, I love you, I will always love you', while stabbing the dagger at Peirong."

Chen Jiashang continued to ask a question with some curiosity: "Then what do you think Wang Sheng feels about Xiao Wei?"

"Wang Sheng should treat Xiao Wei half desire and half confusion... It is his split emotion that prevents him from being loyal to Pei Rong or accepting Xiao Wei, 'I love you, but I already have Pei Rong'..."

Chen Jiashang was already excited as he watched Qin Yu talk about his understanding there.

For Chen Jiashang, who changed from screenwriter to director, Qin Yu's ability to understand the script so thoroughly shows that he really studied the script with great care.

Chen Jiashang is a director who pays great attention to the portrayal of characters. He attaches more importance to the actors' understanding of the story. In his opinion, only by understanding the script can one truly enter the role and interpret the emotions that the character should have.

Unlike Chen Jiashang's persistence in scripts, while he auditioned for Qin Yu, in an office building only a few blocks away from him, another director who almost never uses scripts to film was also paying attention to Qin Yu's information. He stared at the screen in surprise, looking at Qin Yu in disbelief that he could express a person's life with just his eyes.
