Chapter 149 The Heirs 7
It is difficult to find suitable guest actors, and it is not convenient to select lower-level actors for such demanding roles.
Those who know about this opportunity and come here for audition are all from several major entertainment companies today.
Zhu Yue flipped through the script she had received and discovered that the scene was about two childhood sweethearts going to a water park together. There was a power outage in the park, and the claustrophobic male protagonist fell into weakness due to the sudden darkness. The girl held his hand, cheered him up, and sang to comfort him.
Zhu Yue thinks this scene has a lot of room for performance. Although it is short, the focus is actually on the girl, which requires certain acting skills.
Zhu Yue didn’t know who were the people sitting behind the audition table. She didn’t recognize any of them. The four people hosting the audition all looked very serious.
The middle-aged man sitting in the middle looked at her resume, then showed obvious disapproval on his face.
"Who put this kind of newcomer with no experience into the list?" He didn't lower his voice intentionally, but Zhu Yue didn't look embarrassed when he heard this.
She knew she was not qualified.
The producer next to the director looked at Zhu Yue with appreciation: "Isn't this very nice? Give it a try and introduce yourself."
Zhu Yue briefly talked about her basic situation, including her age and company, but didn't say much else.
Perhaps the director thought of something when he heard her mention "KM" and said no more.
“Make some faces for the camera,” he said.
From the audience's perspective, many people do not think that the profession of actor is difficult. Even the greatest movie actors and actresses do not have flawless performances.
It's like spectators watching sports, men's football, everyone feels that the ceiling is still very high, there is still a lot of room for improvement, and they can't wait to play themselves.
But everything is easier said than done. Even if it is just smiling and expressing anger in front of the camera, it takes most people quite a long time to adjust. Exposing oneself to unfamiliar instruments and the scrutinizing gaze behind the instruments is really not an easy thing.
If you don’t believe it, just record a video with the rear-view camera and you will find out. It is almost impossible for an untrained person to express delicate emotions freely.
Being an actor is a profession that requires courage and confidence.
A shy person will always be tense around strangers.
The lens will infinitely magnify the unnatural side of a person.
Imperfections and micro-expressions that would be ignored in reality will become obvious flaws when revealed in front of the camera.
If a person is a bit introverted and not good at speaking in real life, then he will become "doubly clumsy" and "doubly shy" when appearing in front of the camera.
Fortunately, Zhu Yue is not a real teenager, a little girl with zero experience.
She has experienced countless interviews and camera shots. Although time has passed, as long as she stands in front of the camera again, the familiar feeling always comes back quickly.
Zhu Yue had no idea how many acting classes she had taken in her previous world.
Crying and laughing, rolling on the ground and throwing tantrums in public were no longer obstacles to her.
Most importantly, since she came into this world and knew her goal was to become an actress, she changed her originally unbridled eating habits.
In the past six months or so, she has successfully made herself thinner than the perfect figure adjusted by the beauty pill, and truly achieved a perfect body that looks photogenic.
How could Zhu Yue, who has starred in countless blockbusters, be afraid of such a small audition?
She made several expressions to the camera in a relaxed and comfortable manner, her eyes fixed on the camera in front of her, as if she was looking at the audience behind her through the camera, but it seemed that she was ignoring the camera. She smiled, was sad, and was angry, all smoothly and naturally, without any affectation.
There is none of the "I'm being filmed" instinct that is so common among non-professional performers in the shot.
Behind the camera, there was a rare silence at the audition table.
The director handed over the script and said, "Try this part."
Lines are one of the most important basic skills for an actor. Obviously, Zhu Yue is an excellent student in all the basic skills of all actors.
Zhu Yue took the script from the director and stood in front of the camera again. She took a deep breath and gently closed her eyes - this was a normal adjustment process before the performance, which only took three seconds at most, and no one would complain about it.
Zhu Yue recalled the character's personality, infused her with the proper emotions in her heart, and immersed herself in the role, as if she had really become the girl in the script.
After opening her eyes again, her expression changed, from the corners of her eyes to the tips of her eyebrows. It was hard to tell what had changed exactly, but she became extremely pure in front of the camera.
Every frown and smile reminds people of the best years of youth.
"It's agreed that we'll meet at the aquarium entrance on October 10th."
Without an actor to act opposite her, she simply skipped his lines and continued with the next sentence: "Don't be afraid, hold on to me."
The two lines were from two different scenes. The director didn't call for a stop, so Zhu Yue finished the two short scenes in the script.
"Stop." The director suddenly called "Cut." He looked at Zhu Yue with a strange look and said, "That's enough."
Zhu Yue blinked and came out of her role.
She raised her eyes to look at the director, stood up and said, "Thank you, you've worked hard."
"Don't leave yet," the paper man smiled at her kindly, "Wait for our male protagonist."
No one objected to the paper man's words.
Zhu Yue knew that the most crucial step was coming.
After a while, a very young boy came in from outside the door. He was no more than twenty years old, with refreshing short black hair, and every move he made was full of star quality.
"Ziran is here." The producer and director laughed at the same time. Zhu Yue found that the four crew interviewers sitting here seemed to have a good relationship with Yu Ziran.
"Come on, try to act with our leading actor."
Even though Zhu Yue's performance was excellent and had already conquered the director, screenwriter, and producer, the reason why the role was still not decided was revealed.
The problem is obviously related to the heavyweight male lead. Although he only plays the male lead's childhood, his role is incomparable to Zhu Yue's.
More than half of the characters in the movie are the teenage Yu Ziran, and his role is much more important than the cameo first love that Zhu Yue fought for, which only had two scenes.
Fortunately, Zhu Yue didn't care about this. Although this boy was a handsome guy, she had seen many handsome guys before, and he was not her target.
Then it's not worth wasting your time.
Just as she had thought before, this role was not difficult for her. With her current looks, she was considered the top beauty in the domestic entertainment industry. The total market size of Korean entertainment was only 50 million people, a country with a population of only one province in China. No matter how prosperous its marketing was, it could not compare with the domestic entertainment industry.
Her face and acting skills appear here to also be a dimensionality reduction attack.
