Dragon, choose cultural victory to make money

Chapter 21 The Birth of a Performance Genre

Raul held the script in one hand and kept wiping the sweat off his face with the other hand. One could see with the naked eye that the pages of the script were shaking.

Elsa found it a little funny and tried to comfort her, "Why are you so nervous? We won't do anything to you."

Raoul laughed dryly.

It's totally unconvincing. Okay? Julien is still twitching in the corner!

He tried hard to calm himself down and focus on the script.

When he signed up, he thought since he wouldn't pass it anyway, he might as well try to play the leading role. He also auditioned for the male lead.

To prevent confusion, each actor auditioning for the same role will draw a script excerpt.

Just like what Julien drew just now was a fight with zombies in the station.

The scene he drew was that the male protagonist and his companions were chased by zombies to a safe carriage. The people inside refused to open the door. His companions sacrificed themselves to buy time. Finally, after the door was smashed open, the male protagonist furiously knocked down the person who led the refusal to open the door.

The part that required him to perform was the final scene where he beat someone and questioned him.

Anger, how to express anger?
The mainstream approach today is to classify characters into types, and then set standards for each emotion and behavior of each different type.

This method has become more and more extreme, to the point where the evaluation of an actor's performance is based on how well the performance meets the standards, rather than on whether it is realistic or contagious.

He doesn't like this.

Judging from the fact that they just stopped Julien’s performance, it was obvious that the judges didn’t like this either.

If we compare who meets the standards, all the members of the Hybrid Monsters combined are no match for the extras in Swan Castle.

He wanted to do it his own way, a wild way that was ridiculed by actors in the city as unruly and unseemly.

"let's start."

Raul repeated his lines one last time, put down the script, took a deep breath, and put himself into the role.

Angry, what would make him angry.

My daughter was in danger not by accident but because someone brought danger to her.

The dummy in front of him seemed no longer to be a dummy, but the person who had just put his daughter in danger.

Raul's eyes gradually became sharper.

No, this kind of anger is too weak.

The protagonist, me, had just experienced a life-and-death escape and was exhausted. I was puzzled as to why others agreed to close the door and disappointed with their indifferent attitude.

What else?

The companions who sacrificed themselves to delay the situation failed to seize the opportunity to save their companions.

unwilling.

Yes, I am unwilling.

The appearance of anger is also a way to cover up the pain caused by one's own powerlessness.

Raul's expression became ferocious and complicated. His eyes were fixed on the dummy, but not focused on it. It even looked a little empty, as if he was examining himself.

He knocked the dummy down with one punch and grabbed its collar tightly.

The sudden outburst made the crowd around involuntarily take a step back.

The first line is a roar of venting, "Why is the door closed! Why!"

There was a pause, with only the sound of heavy breathing making the atmosphere even more tense.

"Selfish bastard." There was a sense of powerlessness in the curse.

"You could have come in." His voice was trembling as he realized the futility of being angry now.

"Why?" His lips trembled uncontrollably due to a mixture of anger and grief, and his last question was so pale, as if he was the one who was knocked down by the punch.

The performance ended and the scene fell into silence.

The onlookers were all stunned by this scene. They had never seen such a performance before and couldn't even tell whether it was good or bad.

But it is undeniable that his performance is definitely more impactful than others. Raul came out of the state of substitution of the role, and the reaction on the scene made him nervous.

Can you give me an explanation on whether it is good or bad?

"Clap--"

Applause broke out, it was Drogo.

After he gave his approval, Ms. Fulin and Aisha also applauded.

The companions of the Hybrid Behemoth Group reacted and cheered with shouts and whistles.

Drogo was very satisfied. After watching the same old performances for the whole morning, there was finally one that caught the dragon's eye.

Seeing that Raul is completely immersed in it, maybe he is an experiential person.

"An impressive performance, Mr. Raul," Aisha spoke on behalf of him. "Now the role belongs to you. Congratulations."

"call."

Raul breathed a sigh of relief. He thought he would be extremely excited after getting this opportunity. Regardless of whether the so-called magic shadow was successful or not, the reward from being the protagonist was enough for him to improve his life. At least he could send Marlene to a good school so that she wouldn't have to live a wandering life like he did.

However, after I really got the role, I had more thoughts in my mind. My acting style was finally recognized, and I suddenly developed a sense of mission.

He wants to play this role to the best of his ability, and he also wants The Magic Shadow to be a big success, and he wants his performance to be seen by more people. He is a famous actor and he craves fame.

"Thank you for giving me this opportunity."

"No need to thank me first. Is the crying little girl next to you your daughter?"

Raul looked back and saw that Marlene was even more excited than he was.

Her little face was already red from tears, and she knew how difficult it was for her father.

Raul picked her up and rocked her in comfort.

"I want to ask," Aisha suddenly said, "Is your daughter interested in acting?"

After being tortured by the exaggerated performance of the alien academic school for several hours, Drogo decided to change his mindset.

Reject actors from well-known theater troupes and try to find suitable people to play themselves.

It’s not that the actors are unprofessional, but rather that they are too professional. It’s just that the professional development direction here is completely mismatched with the needs of Moying.

Also, because their basic skills were so solid and had already formed muscle memory, they could not be changed in a short period of time, so after weighing the pros and cons, they had to give up.

Since we can’t choose a professional, we have to find someone who can play the role in their true colors.

The highest level of experientialism is to completely immerse yourself in the role and achieve the effect of being yourself.

It’s better to skip the experience step and directly find an actor who fits the role.

There are some works like this on earth, in which an unknown actor's acting skills crush all the stars he plays with, because he is just playing himself.

After changing his mindset, he naturally set his sights on Raul's daughter.

Even the step of cultivating a father-daughter relationship with the protagonist was skipped.

Therefore, the recruitment results in the afternoon were much better, especially the Hybrid Behemoth Group, which contributed several characters.

The orc plays a wife-loving macho man who used to fight in underground boxing.

The underground gnome plays a beggar. When he first came to the surface, he had to live for several years.

Shapeshifter plays the role of the manager of the pharmaceutical factory, but his experience is not suitable for the role, but simply because he can transform into the appearance of Lagu Coleman.

In that case, there is no need to select only from those who come for auditions.

The old sisters characters were directly found as a pair of goblin besties who had been friends for forty years from the subordinates; the characters of the baseball club in the original work went to the Spellcaster Academy to invite the Spell Dodgeball Club; the train conductor was even simpler, the train conductor of the Traveler who was on vacation came to earn extra money.

It’s a pity that the Kingdom of Sutton has not yet developed into a politically correct version, otherwise, with the current racial diversity of the cast of “The Trip to the Holy Mountain”, it would be awarded various awards.

After the actors were confirmed, the next step was to determine the look of each character. In order to enhance the sense of reality, except for the shapeshifter, everyone else made minor adjustments to their daily appearance.

At the same time, news came from the Drogo Film and Television Base Island that the scene construction was basically completed.
