Chapter 439 Li Xiaoyao?
When this young man walked into the room, Ye Zhiqiu's eyes lit up.
He is tall and thin, with a handsome appearance that has a bit of a ruffian feel to him. The key is that he matches the image in his mind to a certain extent.
Looking at the resume in hand, the young man's name is "Li Xiao". He just graduated at the age of 21 and is also from a major.
This young man has very little acting experience. He has only played supporting roles in a few plays, which is comparable to a supporting role. Judging from the time, he probably had an internship experience in college.
During the casting selection for "Legend of Sword and Fairy", there were many newcomers like Li Xiao who came to audition.
After all, in many cases actors for such large-scale productions are pre-determined, and there are very few open casting calls for "Sword and Fairy".
Although the chance is slim, the audition experience of such a large crew is also very valuable, and if you are lucky enough to be selected, your career will skyrocket.
"Dear directors, producers, dogs...cough, cough, hello, screenwriter!"
"My name is Li Xiao, but it's not Li Xiao from Li Xiaoyao. It's Muzi Li, Xiao from Xiao Se. Because my father's surname is Li and my mother's surname is Xiao, they gave me this name."
"I am auditioning for the role of 'Li Xiaoyao' today. I hope you will take care of me. Thank you."
Although the young man was a little nervous, as soon as he started chatting, he started to introduce himself in a long jingle, speaking quickly and clearly, with a slight rhythm.
His script skills should be pretty good, Ye Zhiqiu thought, so he didn't mind the words "dog author" that the other party almost blurted out.
The director opened his mouth and everyone nodded slightly. The young man named "Li Xiao" has a good image and a relatively outgoing personality. He fits the role of "Li Xiaoyao" quite well.
During the audition session, Li Xiao's performance once again made everyone's eyes brighten.
Ye Zhiqiu was also very satisfied. Generally, each actor only had a short chance to perform. Ye Zhiqiu rarely spoke for the first time and asked an additional question.
Faced with the unexpected additional test, Li Xiao handled it with ease and performed better and better. Everyone nodded.
Although he doesn't have much acting resume, it seems that Li Xiaochu is taking acting classes well in school and his overall quality is very high.
"Okay, I will notify you of the results later, thank you."
Li Xiao bowed and thanked them, secretly looking at the expressions of several people.
The expressions of the director, Kai Cheng, and others were as plain as ever, and they could not see their thoughts. However, the author smiled and nodded at him.
Li Xiao exited the room, feeling excited but also a little confused.
I seem to have tried two paragraphs? Others should have tried one paragraph, Gou Zuo... Ye Zhiqiu seemed quite satisfied and smiled at himself. So, can it be done?
When Li Xiao's figure appeared, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.
This is the person who has spent the longest time in the room so far.
"Brother, why did you stay so long?"
"It's been such a long time, it should be done, right?"
"Which role were you auditioning for?"
"Is the director or Ye Zhiqiu the main person to be inspected?"
Faced with everyone's inquiring, Li Xiao didn't say much, just laughed and passed by.
This is not because he is stingy. Not to mention that he doesn't know the result yet, and he didn't notice that there are crew members nearby. If someone talks too much and says something he shouldn't, it will be troublesome if he angers the crew.
Being cautious in what you say and do in an unfamiliar environment is the way to survive in the workplace, especially in the entertainment industry.
But the dog author is different. He is awesome and will get angry if he doesn't like it. After all, if you are talented, you will not be afraid of not having enough to eat wherever you go...
Li Xiao remained tight-lipped, but the enthusiasm of the people surrounding him did not diminish at all. Anyway, after waiting for more than an hour, talking could relieve the tension and anxiety.
This scene made a handsome young man of similar age next to him snort, with a trace of displeasure flashing in his eyes.
"Next, Xin Haolun."
"exist!"
When his name was read, the young man's face lit up, he stood up quickly, carefully checked his clothes for wrinkles, and strode towards the door.
In the room, Xin Haolun, who had been waiting for a long time, began to introduce himself.
"Hello everyone, my name is Xin Haolun. The role I am auditioning for today is the male lead 'Li Xiaoyao'. The works I have starred in include..."
Next, Xin Haolun reported a long list of work titles, and the roles he played were all the first and second male roles. Compared with Li Xiao just now, he is similar in age but has much richer acting experience.
Everyone in the room was very satisfied with Li Xiao's performance just now, but after all, it hasn't been finalized yet, so it would be nice to watch a few more.
In fact, as one of the most popular actors in film and television dramas nowadays, Xin Haolun felt that he should not sit and wait with those unknown newcomers, which made him a little unhappy.
The agency also tried to contact the crew of "Sword and Fairy" to see if they could pre-book a role, but they were rejected.
Comparing all aspects of popularity and resume, Xin Haolun feels that he is one of the best among his competitors. He has an excellent appearance and has his own traffic, which is beneficial to the crew. There is no reason not to choose him.
However, Li Xiao's audition just now took an unusually long time, which gave Xin Haolun a sense of uneasiness and urgency.
First, he read a line from the script. As soon as Xin Haolun opened his mouth, several people in the room frowned slightly.
With Li Xiao's previous comparison, even an unprofessional person like Ye Zhiqiu could hear the difference between the two.
The purpose of reading the script is very simple, it is to test the actor's line skills. The first is whether the actor speaks the lines clearly and powerfully. This is the most basic, and there is no problem with this.
However, the integration of emotions is much poorer. I don’t know whether he didn’t understand the character characteristics of “Li Xiaoyao” in advance or for some other reason. Xin Haolun obviously felt like he was “exerting too much force”.
After reading a line, the scene of the audition was the first encounter between Li Xiaoyao and Jiu Jianxian.
What was even more shocking was that Xin Haolun forgot his words and stopped before he even said a few words.
According to the rules set in advance, in order to improve efficiency, each actor only has one chance, unless the crew actively requests additional trials.
"Okay, thanks..."
Before the assistant director finished speaking, Xin Haolun quickly interrupted: "I'm sorry, can you do it again? I wasn't ready just now."
The assistant director frowned slightly and said, "No need, we already know your general situation, and a staff member will contact you if you pass."
Perhaps he finally noticed something was wrong with everyone's expressions. Xin Haolun became anxious and turned to Ye Zhiqiu and said, "I have been waiting for too long, so I am in a bad state."
"Screenwriter Ye, I really like the novel "Legend of Sword and Fairy" and your songs."
"Given the fact that I am your fan, give me another chance. I will definitely be able to play this role well!"
