Chapter 14 Auditions
Chi Yu glanced at his phone before going to bed. There was a new message on WeChat two hours ago.
[Dark blue dot]: I'm home, Mr. Chi, cheers for tomorrow's audition!
Chi Yu also politely replied, "Come on, too", and then fell asleep.
The next morning at 8:9, Chi Yu left home on time and arrived at Jinhong Building at [-]:[-].
There are already many people in the auditorium outside the audition on the 32nd floor.
Director Xu's audition for this new drama has not been disclosed to the public, and those who can get the news are those with certain connections in the circle, and they have to obtain an audition spot from Director Xu in advance.
It can be said that this threshold alone eliminated 80.00% of the artists in the circle who wanted to act in this drama, so those who came to audition were either well-connected or strong.
Chi Yu signed in, got his number plate, greeted a few familiar faces, and sat quietly in a corner with few people waiting for the audition.
"Brother Chi, drink some water." The little girl who handed over the water was named Zhou Fan, and she was also one of Chi Yu's assistants. She was on annual leave a while ago.
Chi Yu didn't take Chu Wen with him today. Chu Wen might have been a little stimulated last night. This morning, he had two dark circles under his eyes, and his whole body was depressed. Chi Yu gave him a day off. come over.
Chi Yu was sitting in a corner drinking water. He had been secretly watching the crowd since he came in, and he hadn't seen Jiang Chenyan.
His number was slightly behind, and when it was his turn it was already 4:[-] in the afternoon, during which he settled his lunch with sandwiches.
When Chi Yu came out after the audition, he didn't see Jiang Chenyan.
Didn't Jiang Chenyan say that he was going to audition too, why didn't he arrive at this point?
Today's audition will be over soon.
"Brother Chi, are we leaving?"
The two assistants saw that Chi Yu returned to sit on the lounge chair in the lobby after the audition, and Xiao Tao stepped forward to ask with some hesitation.
Chi Yu looked down at WeChat. There was no new message from Jiang Chenyan. He clicked on the dialog box, but didn't know what to say.He has never been a proactive person, so after hesitating for a while, he exited the dialogue box and WeChat again.
"Let's go." Chi Yu said to the assistant.
Before leaving, Chi Yu looked back at the hall again, all the people who had finished the audition had left, and only a few people were still waiting at this moment.
Jiang Chenyan still didn't come.
Since his debut, Chi Yu has participated in hundreds of auditions. In each previous audition, he could more or less know whether he has a role or not through the reaction of the audition officer.
But Chi Yu didn't know what to do in today's audition.
There are five audition officers, director Xu and an assistant director, two producers, and a fresh face, probably from the investor side.
Chi Yu is different from others. He auditioned for two roles, which took about 10 minutes.During his audition, the raw face audition officer who sat in the corner as if he couldn't keep his eyes open didn't doze off any more. After his performance, the assistant director and the two producers applauded him and said he was good.
But Director Xu, who was sitting in the middle, didn't respond.
Director Xu leaned on the back of the chair, as if his body hadn't moved at all, his knuckles tapped the table rhythmically, as if he was in deep thought, and finally he only said one sentence to Chi Yu: "Go back and wait for the news."
Although there were producers and investors among the audition officers, Director Xu was the one who really made up his mind about the casting. It was precisely because Director Xu didn't respond that Chi Yu didn't know what to do.
It wasn't until the evening that Chi Yu's wechat vibrated.
[Pale Blue Dot]: How was the audition today?Is the audition teacher strict?
[Shui Ye Mu Yu]: It's okay.
[Pale blue dot]: Teacher Chi!
[Pale blue dot]: Are you playing with your phone?It came back in seconds!
【Mizuya Muyu】:...
[Mizuyamu Yu]: I just checked my phone, why didn't you go to the audition today?
[Dark Blue Dot]: I'm still thinking about which role to audition for?And the audition time is not limited to today.
[Pale blue dot]: Also, how do you know I didn't go to the audition today?Have you been following me?
[Pale blue dot]: Teacher Chi, I didn't expect you to care about me so much?
Chi Yu: ...
A certain person was too thick-skinned, and Chi Yu didn't come back.
Someone with too thick a skin didn't keep staring at the phone.
At this moment, Jiang Chenyan was standing in a certain alley in a village in the west of the city, his hat and mask covering him tightly.
He switched back to the navigation from WeChat, turned into a small road, and when he reached the end, the mechanical female voice in the navigation said: "The destination is on your right, and the navigation is over."
Jiang Chenyan put the phone in his pocket, looked up to the right - a three-storey private house, covered with tiles similar to other houses, the first floor is a small pavement, with a colorful signboard "A Gang Tattoo" hanging above his head .
Jiang Chenyan: "..."
This is what Jiang Chenyan asked his confidant to find out, the tattooed place on Chi Yu's wrist.
Jiang Chenyan's first reaction was that he had made a mistake. He took out his mobile phone and checked to make sure there was nothing wrong. He began to wonder, was Chi Yu poor in the past?Otherwise, why would you get tattoos in this kind of three-no tattoo shop that seems to have no business license?
Moreover, the tattoo parlor was still closed, and there was a random handwritten piece of paper pasted on the shutter door—Ah Gang went on a trip, and the door would open in a few days.
Although there is a phone number at the bottom, but the phone number is missing one digit... At first glance, it is not the kind of person who wants to open a shop seriously.
Jiang Chenyan's trip was in vain.
Jiang Chenyan left without staying long, planning to come back in a few days.
As he walked out of the alley, he called his confidant: "Old Wan, how is the audition going on the 32nd floor today? Chi Yu, which role is he auditioning for?"
Lao Wan said: "Mr. Chi auditioned for two roles, and he auditioned for both the main and secondary personalities of Lin Yan. People from my side said that Mr. Chi performed very well throughout the whole process. It can be said that he performed the best among the people who auditioned today. Yes. But the result has not yet come out, Director Xu is very entangled, because Mr. Chi can play both roles."
Jiang Chenyan's cover was too tight, and he could only see his brows raised, and he seemed to smile: "I know, follow up at any time, and report to me if there is any situation."
"Yes, Mr. Jiang." He hesitated for a while, "Mr. Jiang, aren't you going to audition tomorrow?"
"Not for the time being, wait until his results come out." Jiang Chenyan pondered for a moment, then slowed down his speech, "If he tries both roles, then I don't have to go, if he doesn't try any roles, then What else am I going to do?"
After hearing this, Lao Wan was at a loss: "?"
Chi Yu received the call on the third day of the audition. He passed the audition and was awarded the role of "Lin Jian's personality".
The other party congratulated Chi Yu on the phone for a long time, but Chi Yu didn't respond, so he asked, "Mr. Chi, can you...can you hear me?"
"Yes." Chi Yu said, "Can I ask why I didn't pass the audition for the secondary personality?"
"This..." The other side hesitated for a while, "Mr. Chi, I won't hide it from you. In fact, you are suitable to play the role of Lin Yan, both the main and the secondary personalities. It stands to reason that you can play two roles by yourself. It's just that Director Xu This time I want to try something new, so the two personalities of this role must be played by two people, and after we discussed at the meeting, I think you are more suitable to play the main character."
After answering the phone, Chi Yu's mood was a little low. Although Chi Yu's work was done very well that day, when the director yelled "Cut", his mood sank visibly.
The three assistants Chu Wen, Xiao Tao, and Zhou Fan all tacitly felt that Chi Yu was in a bad mood because he didn't announce the audition, so they all tacitly didn't bring up this topic.
At night, Tan Kai rushed over: "Xiao Yu, that book in the New World..."
"Shh!"
Tan Kai only spoke halfway, and the three assistants came up in front of him and booed endlessly, Tan Kai: "..."
As the representative of the three, Chu Wen stepped forward and said, "Brother Tan, my brother failed the audition. He is in a particularly bad mood today. Let's not mention this script in front of him."
"He failed the audition, who said that?" Tan Kai asked.
Chu Wendao: "My brother answered the phone, and I vaguely heard him say 'failed' or 'audition', plus he was in a bad mood all day, so he must have failed the audition."
Tan Kai glanced at the three assistants like a fool, and then showed the contract in his hand.
"He passed."
The three assistants responded in the same way: "Then why is he in a bad mood?"
After signing the contract, Xiaotao and Zhou Fan left, and Chu Wen went back to his room to play games.
Chi Yu returned to the room, threw himself on the big soft bed, and stared blankly at the ceiling.
His villain dream was shattered again...
The lights of Chiyu's community were turned off one after another, but the conference room on the 30th floor of Jinhong Building was brightly lit.
"Pitch-black pupils, aggressive looks, eight-pack abs...Xu Rangzhe's appearance fits perfectly. He has acted in many dramas, has certain acting experience and skills, and has also acted as a villain twice. I have his video here, explosive It’s still good, although it may sometimes be too hard, but we should be able to train for a while before the official shooting?”
"He can't." Dao Xu said.
"Then Mo Chengxiu? This person has been in the debut for a long time, his acting skills are flexible, and he has come into contact with a variety of roles. With this person's acting skills, he is completely competent for Lin Wen's sub-personality. As for his appearance, he has maintained it well over the years. , besides, we can make up a little..."
"No!" Director Xu interrupted this time without waiting for the other party to finish speaking.
"If it doesn't work, let Chi Yu play the two roles alone!" The speaker became a little impatient, "After so many auditions for so many people, only Chi Yu satisfied Director Xu. Since Chi Yu is suitable for both roles, Then let him act alone!"
Director Xu said: "I said this time this dual personality must be played by two people."
"Xu Rangzhe's appearance suits you. You think his acting skills are not good, and Mo Chengxiu's acting skills are good, but you dislike his appearance. What about this role? Tomorrow is the last day of auditions!"
The speaker got up and left.
The other people in the meeting room looked at each other, looked at the person who had left, and then at Director Xu, hesitatingly: "That Director Xu..."
"You don't understand me."
Director Xu buried his face in his palm, rubbed his face, and when he raised his head, his face was full of fatigue. He said: "The sub-personality I want to choose doesn't mean that I must choose a person who fits the appearance and has good acting skills. , but he and the actor who played the main character...they are two personalities split from one person, so the two of them must have...at least that feeling when standing together! Do you understand?"
Finally, Director Xu sighed and waved his hand: "... Forget it, let's go. Let's go to bed early tonight. Tomorrow is the last day."
Last day of auditions for New World.
All the protagonists and supporting roles in the script have been finalized in the past few days, only the sub-personality of Lin Fan has not been suitable for the role. No, it should be said that there are a few suitable candidates, but none of them satisfied Director Xu.
From the beginning of the audition, the audition room has been enveloped by low air pressure.
After auditioning for so many days, the people in the circle got the news that most of the people who wanted to audition for this role had finished their auditions. It can be said that it was basically impossible to find an actor who was a perfect match on the last day.
The sun goes from east to west, and in another hour, today's audition will be over.
At this moment, a person walked in.
"It's so quiet here today." The person who came came with a smile on his brow, and his tone was casual, but the oppressive feeling on his face could not be ignored, "Everyone is waiting for me?"
These two sentences are the lines of Lin Yan's sub-personality in "New World".
As soon as these two sentences came out, the lifeless audition room seemed to come alive.
Director Xu's eyes lit up.
"Well, my audition is over." Jiang Chenyan found a chair and sat down, and said as if chatting, "Now, I want to talk to all the teachers, especially Director Xu, about my views on roles."
Jiang Chenyan's attitude was too arrogant, an audition officer wanted to interrupt, but Director Xu raised his hand to stop him.
Director Xu nodded to Jiang Chenyan: "Say it."
"Director Xu insisted that two people play Lin Wen's main and deputy personalities, presumably because he wanted to try something new, so I will also say something new." The chin is propped up and the posture is relaxed.
"For people with dual personalities, the primary and secondary personalities are independent of each other. At the same time, they are one person with a bond that is stronger than flesh and blood. Under the setting of the story background of "New World", Lin Wen's primary and secondary personalities are incompatible with each other. Fighting. It’s not enough to find two suitable actors with good acting skills to play them, but there must be a feeling between the two actors.”
Speaking of this, Jiang Chenyan met Director Xu's eyes, and there was obvious interest in the latter's eyes.
"Opposites coexist, fetters and fights, maybe others can also act as a secondary personality..." Jiang Chenyan put down one of his raised legs, stood up, and his lazy tone showed a bit of arrogance and confidence, "But I can perform with Chi Yu It’s only me who feels this way.”
The corners of Jiang Chenyan's lips curled up, "Director Xu, what do you think?"
Director Xu closed the file and made a final decision.
"Come to sign the contract tomorrow."
The dark clouds in the audition room that had been gloomy for many days finally cleared.
