Actors have no vacation

Chapter 35 Auditions

[Old man, you can't do it.The roles are all pre-determined, you have no role at all. 】 Guan Chen stood in front of the sink and took out the lucky shirt from the bag.

[Slow down, it's not that I can't do it, it's that the bear is too powerful. 】 Guan Chen shook his clothes, pretending that he was complaining.

[Dare to quibble. 】 Guan Chen punched the belly of his clothes twice.

Tracksuits whirring in mid-air.

Guan Chen played for a while before taking out the clothes Xie Jinzhu prepared for him.

Even if the role was pre-determined, he didn't plan to give up halfway through.

Every time he took an exam in his previous life, Guan Chen knew that his scores were in single digits, and he would still go, just because he slept better in the exam room.

This time is different.He wasn't here to sleep or participate in making friends this time.

He came to verify what he had prepared.

Time and time again, I asked myself the pain in my memories, just to make the characters more vivid.Xing Yan was quite old, and he got up early in the morning to accompany him to rehearse and analyze the script for more than ten hours.Cubs believed more than anyone that he could succeed.The breakfast that the big brother bought is also delicious.

It would be rude if he just walked away in a daze without doing anything.

Standing in front of the mirror, Guan Chen changed into his clothes.

The clothes Xie Jinzhu prepared for him were a brand new white shirt and a pair of black dress pants.After changing clothes and trousers, a tall and straight young man appeared in the mirror.Without the cover of long hair, the whole person looks thinner.

Guan Chen turned his head and looked at the compartment.Since he came in, the caller has not made a sound.

Guan Chen picked up the bag, walked out, opened the door, and closed the door.

The bathroom was quiet for a moment, and the people in the cubicle slowly came to life. When they came out, they suddenly saw Guan Chen leaning against the door.

Guan Chen didn't actually leave, he pretended to leave, just to continue listening to something, or to lead people out to see the other person's face.

"My surname is Xie, and I'm Wang Qingjun's agent." After introducing himself, Guan Chen asked the other party, "What's your surname, sir?"

The other party was a little surprised when he heard Wang Qingjun's name, looked at Guan Chen up and down, and then claimed to be Liu.

"Mr. Liu, I walked in just now and accidentally heard something. First of all, I want to apologize to you. I just want to ask about something..." Guan Chen asked him, "Who has decided on the role of Wu Ze? ?"

Mr. Liu hesitated for a moment, then gave a wry smile, still not saying who it was: "Apart from the big companies, who else can be. Before it's too late, you should change your roles as soon as possible."

After the other party finished speaking, he shook his hand and left.

Guan Chen waited for a while and then walked out.

He didn't want to take revenge after asking people clearly, after all, the world is not fair, and he knows it all too well.He was just curious to know which company had such a relationship. In the future, when Xiong Yu entered the industry and wanted to sign a company, he would definitely recommend Xiaoxiong to enter that company.

big company.Guan Chen silently read the clue and came to the corridor.

The long corridor was almost full of people.

Being able to get an audition notice means that the team behind it has certain abilities.Some actors have their agents by their side and are memorizing their lines; some actors see familiar faces and chat on the spot.

The actors who auditioned were almost all young, some in their 20s to 30s, and after putting on makeup, they couldn't tell the exact age.

Everyone is also prepared in terms of styling, but the style is different.Some dressed up as gangsters, and some came directly in police uniforms.

Guan Chen is a lonely man, dressed in ordinary clothes and without makeup. Looking at these people, he feels that everyone except him is from a big company.

Auditions began quickly.

In the room at the end of the corridor, a young man will come out, call out his name and number, and let the actors go in and perform one by one in order.

Guan Chen was bored sitting and waiting, so he simply took out the script and continued to ponder the role.

However, after a while, there were occasional riots in the corridor, and the actors in twos and threes gathered together and whispered.Guan Chen pricked up his ears and listened, and found that he already knew what everyone was talking about - the role of Wu Ze was pre-determined.

When some agents heard the news, they either encouraged their actors to play well later, or asked the actors to change roles temporarily.

Guan Chen still lowered his head and played with his own.

He is only interested in the role of Wu Ze.He was too lazy to change because of the job that put him in other roles.

One hour, two hours passed.

People kept coming, and actors kept entering and leaving the room.

Some go in 5 minutes and come out, while others are shorter.And those who stayed inside for more than ten minutes will get everyone's attention when they come out.

Some people came out with high-spirited faces.Some people scolded and scolded after they came out, and since they had already made a decision in a low voice, why would they do such an audition and sneak out.

Guan Chen roughly estimated that there should be hundreds of people around.

Really big production.

But when will it be your turn?Guan Chen held his neck, took out his mobile phone, and found that it was six o'clock in the evening.

After another hour, Guan Chen noticed that the actors who entered in front of him stayed in the room for 3 minutes, 2 minutes.

【Is it confirmed? 】 Guan Chen guessed.

Several actors in the hallway also noticed the unusual frequency of auditions and knew something, so they got up and left.

Guan Chen didn't move.He touched the script in his hand, a little regretful, it seems that he can't see Wu Ze in his performance on the big screen.

About half an hour later, the guy in charge of calling people called Guan Chen's name.

At this time, there was no one in the entire corridor except him and a few staff members.

Guan Chen got up, walked from one end of the corridor to the door of the room at the other end, and showed his pass for the audition. After the staff confirmed that it was correct, Guan Chen was brought into the room.

Entering the room, facing the door is a row of desks placed side by side.

Several people sat behind the table, talking and laughing.They exchanged resumes with each other, saying that this actor is good, but that actor is not very good.

Everything was communicated in front of Guan Chen.He didn't take care of Guan Chen's mood at all.Or rather, they don't care at all.

After Guan Chen came in, no one paid any attention for a while, standing like a minion.

After a while, when the person at the far end of the seat urged the staff to prepare dinner, he noticed Guan Chen who was standing.

"Huh? Why is there still more? Wasn't the last one just now?" This person could see at a glance that Guan Chen was an actor, not someone else.

After everyone noticed Guan Chen, they put away their communication gestures and looked at Guan Chen.

Guan Chen looked at them one by one, and was a little curious, guessing what they were doing.

When the director in the middle saw the resume handed over by his subordinates, he remembered Guan Chen, an actor who only joined in the last two days.

"I remember, there is such a person." The director clicked on the table with a pen and explained to everyone: "Huang Jin recommended it."

After everyone heard it, there was not much reaction.

After all, Huang Jin is just a host, a person outside the film circle, and has little influence.

Moreover, Guan Chen's resume is being read by everyone, and the column of works is blank, which has explained a lot of things.

Everyone looked at each other and smiled that everyone knew.

"I don't know who you have already decided, but those have nothing to do with me. I just want to show what I prepared." Guan Chen picked up the script and added: "Then give me some opinions."

"Informal decision? Don't talk nonsense, young man."

"A little crazy, boy."

"Huh, opinion?"

Everyone was shocked by Guan Chen's rude words.

The camera was turned on by the staff.

This is not only to prevent the actor from talking nonsense after going out, but also to see if the actor is not on camera.If the movie is a big hit, audition footage can also be good promotional material.

Now it is to prevent extreme actors from being unfairly treated when they go out and talk nonsense.

"Do you have an opinion on the script?" the director asked Guan Chen.

Guan Chen nodded.

This has nothing to do with the character's venting after being pre-determined.Only by taking into account the more real environment can he create a more real Wu Ze.So I want to remind the crew.Nothing bad.

"Let's talk about the warehouse scene first. When the police perform their tasks, why don't they bring law enforcement cameras? This is not only used to supervise the police's law enforcement, but also to record the enemy. Even if the operation fails afterwards, the enemy's actions can be analyzed. Behavioral characteristics, speaking habits, deciphering the identity of the enemy."

"Also, Zhang Jiaju and the others entered the warehouse. After they couldn't contact anyone, why didn't the police backstage feel that there was a problem, and then sent support? Why didn't the police blockade around the warehouse?"

"..."

One loophole was pointed out by Guan Chen, and the screenwriter blushed a little when he heard it.

[You are a mere actor who even instructs me to write something? 】The screenwriter was very angry, picked up Guan Chen's resume and looked at it, and was stunned.

"Uh..." It turned out to be from the Literature Department of Yunman University.

That... Barely... I can guide you, right?

"You graduated from Yunman?" Everyone noticed Guan Chen's education one after another.

Guan Chen said: "Yes."

It's gone.

He didn't say anything about his experience related to acting in college, nor did he say how the majors he learned in college brought to acting.

27 years old.Non-disciplinary.No acting experience.Pure newcomer.

Although the appearance is good-looking, but the actor is not good-looking can be.Maybe a model job would be more suitable.Everyone just wants to get this out of the way right now and go to dinner.

"Give you ten seconds. Tell me something you know, but we don't know." A sharp-eyed woman asked aloud beside the director.

Guan Chen, who was popularized by Xie Jinzhu at the seat, guessed that the woman in front of him should be a producer or supervisor.

The woman's eyes and tone were sharp, but Guan Chen was not frightened.He was already expecting this kind of situation when he was wearing a high-caliber student's vest.

I saw Guan Chen replied with bright eyes: "When you wipe your buttocks after going to the toilet, wipe with your non-dominant hand at the end, it will wipe more cleanly."

Everyone: "..."

Everyone was still guessing that Guan Chen would say that it matches the knowledge points of graduates from famous schools, or some unique personal experiences.But no one thought that...

Your knowledge point is too grounded!
"As expected of... The person recommended by Huang Jin is very humorous, haha, ha." The director reluctantly gave a haha.

Seeing the producer staring at Guan Chen badly, the director quickly put the audition on track, and he asked Guan Chen, "Tell me what you think of the role."

"[Contrast] is a very common and useful expression. In "Police Story", both the pros and cons are policemen, but they chose completely opposite paths.

Everything Wu Ze does stems from his feeling that his life has no meaning and that his life has no value.

He broke the order, not only to retaliate against the police group represented by his father who guarded the order, but also because he could not find a way to compromise, he gradually became disgusted with everything, the world, and himself.He can only fight his inner self-loathing through his continual tyranny.

He continued to challenge more difficult crimes, intensified abuse of SHA police, and became an enemy of the whole world, because he wanted to ruthlessly trample his own life, and then slapped his father in the face and returned his life to him. .

Destroy yourself and escape from everything.His purpose is just this. "

Guan Chen slowly spoke his understanding.

The people who had been careless at first listened, slowly put away their redundant thoughts, and began to listen more attentively to Guan Chen's narration, reflecting his words to the characters in the script.

"This is something that Yunman graduates say." After listening to the director, he sighed and expressed his appreciation.There are some angles that he and the screenwriter never thought of.

"That's right," the producer nodded and started to move on to the next process, "Let's start performing."

Everyone is also waiting for Guan Chen's performance.

Some people say it very well, the biography is thicker than the script, and it is very hard, but when it starts to act, it is another matter entirely.For some actors who are not skilled enough, thinking too much about these abstract things will become a hindrance.

Actors are not writers after all, whether they can do it or not, in the end it depends on how well they act.

"How about the warehouse scene?" The director listened to Guan Chen talking about the loopholes in the warehouse scene, and simply drew this scene, the first time the villain Wu Ze and the protagonist Zhang Jiaju fought.

"Yes." Guan Chen nodded.He and Xing Yan were prepared for this kind of highlight.

Then the people in the room saw Guan Chen take out a red face mask from a black plastic bag that looked like a garbage bag.

"Because of the cameras everywhere and the police with law enforcement cameras, Wu Ze will wear a mask when he appears." Guan Chen put the mask on the ground and stepped on it with his foot.

The mask "clicked" into two halves.

Guan Chen picked up the upper half of his face and put it on his head.

Then he unbuttoned the two buttons on the collar, slowly opened his shoulders, and his posture became more and more straight.As if some beast was waking up.

Some people at the scene thought it was unnecessary. The mask covered the expression, leaving only two eyes, which undoubtedly increased the difficulty of the performance.

But the director thinks Guan Chen is so good.Although rookie actors have little experience, but with their passion, they will exude a kind of innocence of hard work. The audience likes it very much, and he also appreciates it.

However, when Guan Chen raised his head...

Looking at those eyes, they seemed to see the other side of the world.
